About
Built by a host, for hosts.
One person, one cabin in north Georgia, and a stubborn refusal to keep living in spreadsheets.
The cabin
I'm David. My wife and I bought Bear Necessity Cabin in Ellijay, Georgia in 2023. Beautiful place. Slow internet. A lot of dogwood trees. We list on Airbnb and VRBO, manage through Hospitable, and let PriceLabs handle dynamic pricing.
By the time you're a year in, you have data in five places and no time to actually read it. That bothered me.
The problem
Every Sunday morning I'd run the same loop: open Hospitable to check next week's bookings, switch to Airbnb to check the insights dashboard, switch to PriceLabs to see what tomorrow's rate looked like, and end up in a Google Sheet trying to figure out whether we were pacing ahead of last year.
I'm a software engineer, so eventually I did what software engineers do: I got annoyed enough to build the thing I wished existed.
That thing is StayMetrics.
Where it is now
Closed beta. A handful of hosts using it daily, including me. New features ship most weeks. Some corners are rough — I'm shipping fixes as I find them, and the beta testers are generous with feedback.
If "useful but not yet polished" sounds like something you can work with, come kick the tires. If you want a Salesforce-y product with a five-figure annual contract and a sales engineer assigned to your account — this isn't that, and it probably never will be.
What we care about
Four principles I try to keep in mind every week.
Honest about where we are
Beta means beta. I won't tell you we have 10,000 customers when we have a dozen. You'll always know what works, what's coming, and what's broken.
Your data is yours
Export anything, anytime. Cancel anytime and your data stays exportable for 30 days. No held-hostage migrations.
Self-serve at every price point
Even the highest tier is self-serve. No demo gate. No quote-on-request. The pricing page shows the actual number for your portfolio size.
Built on what you already pay for
We don't compete with Hospitable or PriceLabs — we make them more useful together. Your subscriptions there cover your data here.
