The published facts, in plain English
Waivo is Damage waiver. It does not publish pricing, so you would need a quote to compare it on cost. There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: No-deductible damage waiver, no guest contact; sister of Proper, young.
Who it’s for
Waivo suits property owners who want protection without direct guest interaction. It's a good option for mid-sized portfolios seeking a straightforward damage waiver.
Our take
Waivo provides a damage waiver with no deductible and no guest contact, a feature that simplifies operations. The company does not publish its per-booking pricing. As a sister company to Proper and being relatively young, Waivo is a newer entrant in the market.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Because Waivo keeps this unpublished, you cannot line it up against BnBGenius, which states free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required openly. Published pricing is one of the things we weight most heavily.
Verdict
Waivo offers a solid, no-deductible damage waiver, though its pricing is not public. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What to pin down with Waivo
- “What does it actually cost?” Pricing is not published, so get it before you invest setup time.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- OnCallClerk — Free tier; $29–$299/mo (overage applies).
- EZcare — Not published (demo); order-metered.
- Nowistay — €12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius on Telegram for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
