Why Nowistay is an all-in-one channel manager with an AI co-host

Many hosts end up paying for a PMS on one side and AI features on the other. Nowistay puts both in one tool, sharing the same bookings, calendar, property details and guest history.

  • One platform, one invoice: channel manager, autonomous AI co-host, smart locks, direct booking, WhatsApp and AI assistant connectors in one subscription. A few options are billed by use: WhatsApp AI messages (USD 0.04 each), ID checks (EUR 2 each) and the AI voice assistant (EUR 10 a month per account).
  • Autonomous by default: the AI co-host answers guests directly, without you reading, editing or approving, and escalates only when a human is needed. If you prefer to review first, draft mode emails you each reply instead of sending it.
  • AI on every channel that allows it: Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, WhatsApp and email, direct bookings included. On Vrbo, the AI does not reply inside Vrbo messaging.
  • Pre-booking inquiries included: the AI also answers questions sent before a reservation is confirmed.
  • A price that falls as you grow: EUR 12 per property per month, EUR 11 from 5 properties and EUR 10 from 10, AI included.

What you get when Nowistay is your channel manager

AI replies, including pre-booking inquiries

The AI co-host handles guest conversations on Airbnb and Booking.com from the very first question. Pre-booking messages turn visitors into guests, and a slow or generic answer costs bookings. The AI answers with your property details, the booking dates and the conversation so far, in the guest's language.

A WhatsApp channel with AI replies

Nowistay opens a WhatsApp channel for your guests and lets the same AI co-host answer there. Guests get answers on the app they already use, and you do not juggle a separate WhatsApp inbox.

ChatGPT and Claude connectors

Bring your own AI assistant. Nowistay is an official ChatGPT app and has a Claude connector: ask about your bookings, properties, missions and welcome guides from the assistant you already use, and run actions such as changing a price or creating a mission after a preview you confirm.

Smart locks tied to each booking

Codes are generated for each reservation, sent to the guest at the right time and expire after checkout. Codes can also be set to match the last 6 digits of the guest's phone number.

Direct booking widget and hosted booking page

Take bookings on your own website with an embeddable widget, or share a hosted booking page. Payments go through Stripe with 0% Nowistay commission, and direct bookings land in the same calendar as Airbnb and Booking.com.

Automated, context-aware messages

Schedule messages around each step of the stay (confirmation, check-in instructions, mid-stay check, review request) and add conditions, such as the number of guests or a paid deposit, so each guest gets the right message.

Identity verification with message conditions

Ask guests to verify their identity before arrival (EUR 2 per check), and hold back sensitive messages, such as the one with the door code, until the check has passed.

A welcome guide that feeds the AI

The digital welcome guide is both a page for guests and the AI co-host's knowledge base. Update the Wi-Fi details or the check-in steps once, and both the guide and the AI's answers change.

Cleaning and team coordination

Cleaning and maintenance missions are created from bookings, with photo checklists and team notifications. When a guest asks for an early check-in, the AI can confirm it with the cleaning team before answering.

AI co-host replying on its own to Airbnb and Booking.com guest messages

Real-time sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia

As a full channel manager, Nowistay keeps a two-way, real-time connection with the four main OTAs.

  • Bookings: a new booking on any channel appears in Nowistay and blocks the dates everywhere else.
  • Calendar and rates: price and availability changes go out to every connected OTA, with a markup per OTA if you price channels differently.
  • Messages: guest messages from Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia arrive in Nowistay, the AI replies, and the answer goes back into the platform's own thread. Vrbo messages stay in Vrbo.

Price: one subscription instead of stacking tools

SuperHote charges EUR 29 per listing per month (3 listings minimum), with no volume tiers, then EUR 10 more per listing per month for its guest AI once the launch offer ends: EUR 39 per listing with the AI. Its owner invoicing module is free for a year, then EUR 9 per listing per month, and booking sites after the first cost EUR 9 per month each.

Nowistay puts the channel manager, AI co-host, welcome guide, smart locks and direct booking widget in one subscription: EUR 12 per property per month, billed monthly, with automatic volume pricing on the whole account (EUR 11 from 5 properties, EUR 10 from 10, EUR 9 from 50, EUR 8 from 100). The first month is free, with no credit card.

At list prices, 10 listings cost EUR 290 a month on SuperHote, or EUR 390 with its AI after the launch offer, against EUR 100 on Nowistay with the AI included. At 25 listings, it is EUR 725 or EUR 975 against EUR 250.

Switching from SuperHote to Nowistay

Nowistay replaces SuperHote as your PMS and channel manager, and moving your listings takes minutes. Here is how it goes:

Verdict: Nowistay or SuperHote in 2026?

SuperHote is a French PMS with AI assistants, a Guest Page and a free first booking site. At EUR 29 per listing with no volume tiers, plus EUR 10 for its AI after the launch offer, and with Airbnb and Booking.com as its only synced channels for now, it costs more and covers fewer channels than Nowistay.

Nowistay is the better choice for AI-first hosts. It brings the PMS, an AI co-host that replies on its own by default, Vrbo and Expedia next to Airbnb and Booking.com, the direct booking widget and hosted page, smart locks, the welcome guide, cleaning coordination and AI assistant connectors into one platform, from EUR 12 (USD 15) per property per month with automatic volume pricing down to EUR 8. Start with a free first month.
