THE DEFAULT
Smart Yield: find the balance
"I trust the algorithm. Optimize my revenue per night." Smart Yield anchors at the market rate and balances price against occupancy.
It is the recommended default for most listings. When a night looks soft, it discounts modestly, if the math works.
HOLD THE RATE
Premium Hold: an empty night beats a cheap one
Built for luxury, unique, and scarcity-driven listings where price signals quality. Premium Hold anchors above the market rate and skips last-minute discounts entirely.
Soft Tuesday 5 days out? It holds. The peaks pay for the gaps.
FILL THE CALENDAR
Volume Builder: an empty night means the price was wrong
For new listings building reviews, owners measured on occupancy, and crowded markets. Volume Builder works the discounts so the calendar fills.
Discounts fire only when pace goes soft, and they go deep. A $90 booking beats an empty night at $130.
PLAN AROUND IT
Steady Earner: a predictable check, not the biggest one
For operators who plan around the calendar: mortgage payments, scarce cleaners, part-time hosting. Steady Earner anchors below market so bookings land early.
You trade peak weekends for income you can see coming. Lowest variance of the four.
GETTING STARTED
Set your pricing strategy in four steps
1. Connect your listings
Link Airbnb directly or connect through your PMS on the integrations page. Connecting is free and recommended rates appear within minutes.
2. Pick your strategy
Open a listing's Settings tab, or hit Set up from the listings table. Answer the question honestly: what should an empty Tuesday do?
3. Adapt sets your rules
Your strategy sets every pricing rule with defaults calibrated to your listing's market, bedrooms, and seasonality. Fine-tune anything, or see how the engine works.
4. Switch anytime
Change strategies whenever your goals change; switching resets rules to the new strategy's defaults. Sync when ready. Your trial starts at first sync, never before. Connect a listing free →

Investors and managers run on AirDNA data
Without AirDNA, I would have gone down the route of what I thought was best, making a decision based on my own assumptions. Thanks to AirDNA I was able to find a gap in the market and capitalize!

The research behind Adapt
Frequently Asked Questions
The best strategy depends on what you optimize for. High rates with fewer bookings and full calendars at lower rates can earn the same revenue: $300 at 40% occupancy yields $120 per available night, while $175 at 80% yields $140. Adapt turns that choice into four named strategies so you pick a posture instead of tuning knobs.
Four: Smart Yield balances price and occupancy (the recommended default), Premium Hold keeps rates high and skips discounts, Volume Builder discounts to fill the calendar, and Steady Earner prices below market for early, predictable bookings. All four run on the same engine and comp data.
Yes, at any time, per listing. Switching resets your pricing rules to the new strategy's defaults, and you can fine-tune from there. Different listings in your portfolio can run different strategies.
Start from real comps, not guesswork. Adapt learns a base price from listings that compete with yours, applies your chosen strategy, and adjusts nightly for seasonality and lead time. Set a floor and ceiling and the system handles the rest.
Minimum stays calibrate to your listing and market rather than your strategy choice. Your strategy changes where prices anchor and how discounts behave; stay rules follow your property's attributes, and you can override them anytime.
Yes. All four strategies price from the same base model, comp sets, and AirDNA market data covering 15M+ listings. Only two things change between them: where your price anchors relative to the market, and how aggressively soft nights get discounted.
