Punch in your numbers below. We'll show you the exact dollar amount you'd save by going direct-book — and how long it'd take the platform to pay for itself.

Default assumptions: 15% combined Airbnb cut (3% host + ~12% guest, where you eat or pass through), $4,000 one-time DirectBook onboarding + 3% per booking ongoing. Adjust to match your situation.
If you're paying more than $25K/year in Airbnb commission, the math is overwhelming. If you're paying $10K–$25K/year, you cross even in Year 2 and print money from Year 3 forward. Below $10K, the case is weaker — you might be better served by simpler tools (Squarespace + Stripe).
The deeper unlock isn't just the commission. It's owning the guest email list — repeat-booking margin compounds. Year 5 hosts on DirectBook typically report 30–40% of their bookings come from repeat or referral guests they captured directly.
