Navigating Your Pricing Calendar on the Mobile App

The Pricing Calendar in the mobile app lets you review your listing's recommended prices, monitor market trends, and make pricing adjustments from anywhere. It provides a simplified, mobile-optimized view of your calendar while still giving you access to the key pricing insights and controls you need to manage your listings.

This article explains the features available in the mobile app version of the Pricing Calendar and shows you how to use them to review, customize, and sync your pricing with confidence.

  2. Listing Details: This line shows the listing's City, bedroom count, PMS or OTA, listing link.


  3. Minimum, Base, and Maximum Prices: Base price is the average rate that a property manager charges across the year. All market factors, demand patterns, and customizations are applied to the base price to come to a recommended rate for a particular date. This rate will fluctuate based on the quality of your listing. Meanwhile, the Minimum and Maximum Prices are the floor and ceiling of the price recommendations. For more details in setting this up, you can check our guide here.
