Total fees on a $1,500 booking, including payment processing where the platform charges it separately.
With the launch offer: $73.80 on the same booking.
Competitor fees as published in 2026 and subject to change. Houfy is a marketplace where guests find you; RentalBot is for guests who already asked. Stripe alone gives you payments but no booking page, records, or confirmations.
Why direct is safe here
The usual knock on direct booking is that nobody verifies anyone. RentalBot puts the verification back without putting a marketplace between you and your guest.
Guests pay by card or ACH on a Stripe-hosted checkout. Card details never touch RentalBot, and your name and property appear on the guest's statement.
A booking link only goes live after the host confirms their email, and it cannot take a payment until Stripe has verified the host's identity and bank account for payouts.
Turn on Stripe Identity and guests confirm a government ID and a selfie before they can pay. Set it per booking, per property, or for every stay.
Dates, price, guest details, confirmation emails, and a receipt are all tied to one booking. Cancellations, refunds, and disputes are recorded and refunds go back through Stripe in full.
No add-ons, no tiers, no per-property plans.
A secure, professional page with your name and property on it. Card and ACH accepted.
Host and guest both get an instant confirmation email and a receipt when payment lands.
Stripe deposits funds straight to your bank account, typically within 2 business days.
Dates, guest details, payment status, and check-in reminders, all in one dashboard.
Import Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com calendars so direct bookings never double up.
Require government ID and a selfie via Stripe Identity before a guest can pay.
Only when a booking is successfully completed and payment is collected. If a guest doesn't complete checkout, you're not charged anything.
No. The RentalBot fee (2% on your first $25,000 in bookings, then 3%) comes out of the booking total on your side. Guests pay exactly the amount you set, with no service fees added at checkout.
No. The 2% or 3% is RentalBot's platform fee. Stripe's standard payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is charged separately and deducted from your payout by Stripe.
No. No monthly subscription, no setup fee, no account fee, no cancellation fee. Just the RentalBot fee when a booking completes: 2% on your first $25,000 in bookings, then 3%.
Every host pays 2% until they have collected $25,000 in paid bookings through RentalBot, then 3% on every booking after that. The whole booking that crosses $25,000 is still charged at 2%. Stripe processing is separate either way.
Yes. Guests pay on a Stripe-hosted checkout, never by texting a payment app, and card details never touch RentalBot. A link only goes live after the host verifies their email, and it cannot take a payment until Stripe has verified the host for payouts. Both sides get a confirmation and a receipt, and refunds go back through Stripe in full.
Stripe typically processes payouts within 2 business days of a completed booking, directly to your bank account.
No account required. No fee until a guest pays.
