No jargon. No hedging.
Just how it works.
If your question isn't here, reply to any email from us and you'll get a real answer from a real operator — usually same day.
What is Vantory, exactly?
Vantory is the intelligence layer that runs on top of your short-term-rental business — a silent C-suite of a revenue chief, a finance chief, an operations chief, and a marketing chief, all working your real numbers 24/7.
It's not a dashboard that shows you charts and leaves the thinking to you. It makes the calls the best operators make — on every door, every night — and hands you the decision, not the homework.
Is this just another pricing tool?
No — and this is the biggest misunderstanding. Pricing is one output of Vantory, not the product. A pricing tool hands you 15 levers and a data dump, then makes you do the revenue-management labor. Vantory treats pricing, distribution, marketing, and finance as one connected system — the way the best operators already think — and does the work for you.
Put simply: a pricing tool is a power tool that turns you into the operator. Vantory is the operator.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
Agencies take 10–25% of your revenue and hide the math. That's a tax that grows every time you do — and it punishes you for succeeding.
Vantory is a flat fee, published in the open. Every dollar of upside it finds is yours. On a $4M book, a 15% agency is $600K a year. Vantory is a fraction of that — and it makes you more, not less.
Do I have to replace my PMS?
No. Vantory sits on top of the PMS you already run — Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, or Streamline. Zero migration. No rip-and-replace. Nothing to learn from scratch. You keep operating exactly the way you do today; Vantory just reads your numbers and goes to work.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. You connect your PMS with a login or an API key, and the audit starts running against your trailing-12-month data. There's no migration, no data entry, and no new software for your team to learn. Most operators are looking at their first results the same day.
Is my data safe? Is it really read-only?
Yes. Vantory connects read-only. It reads your data and models against it — it never writes to your PMS, never pushes a change, and never touches a booking. Connecting carries zero operational risk.
Your data stays yours. It belongs to you, and it leaves with you if you ever go. No lock-in, no hostage-taking.
What if my PMS or accounting software isn't supported?
Today Vantory runs on Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, and Streamline, with QuickBooks Online or Xero for the company-value side. If you're on something else, request the integration when you sign up — we prioritize by demand and add platforms regularly.
What kind of revenue am I leaving on the table?
Most 20–40 door operators are leaking 6–11% of gross revenue — and can't see where. It hides in underpriced weekends, stale minimum-stays, and listings that quietly stopped converting.
We won't promise you a number sight-unseen. The audit shows your exact figure over the last 12 months, against your real market — so you're looking at the truth, not a sales projection.
What does the audit actually show me?
Three things, side by side: what your market did, how your exact comp set did, and how each of your properties compared to both. Not a vague "you could do better" — the specific gap, property by property.
Most operators describe the feeling as relief. For the first time, you can see exactly where you stand and exactly what to fix.
Will it actually give me my time back?
Yes — that's half the point. Owner reporting alone runs 2–4 hours per property per month for most operators, done by hand from three different places. Vantory pulls it straight from your PMS and sends a clean report in one click.
More broadly: the C-suite work that's currently done ad hoc, at 11pm, by people you hired for other jobs — that stops being your problem.
How much does it cost?
$300/month base, plus $35/month per managed door. Flat. Published. No revenue share, no percentage of your upside, no surprise line items. A 50-door operator pays $2,050/month for a full C-suite that never goes on payroll.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No contract games. Founding-member pricing is locked for life — the rate you start at is the rate you keep, no matter how much you grow. There's no revenue share to escape and no exit fee, because your data is yours to take with you.
Do I have to fire my team to justify it?
No. Vantory makes the team you already have operate like a full C-suite — it doesn't require you to cut anyone. If you choose to consolidate an ad-hoc role or retire a stack of tools, that's upside you keep. It's an option, never a requirement.
What's the "one per market" thing?
The founding cohort is limited to one operator per market. Your edge is only an edge if the operator down the street doesn't have it too — so we protect it. If your market is still open, that's the moment to move.
I'm a PE firm or an acquirer — is this for me?
Very much. Point Vantory at a target read-only and you get true margin per door, RevPAN trends against the real comp set, channel mix, and a data room that holds up under diligence — before you buy. Post-close, deploy the same operating system across the whole portfolio to drive value and stay exit-ready. See the acquirer page →
What if I'm not planning to sell?
Then the yield is the whole reason. Vantory pays for itself on revenue you're leaking and costs you're carrying today. Being exit-ready is simply a byproduct you get for free — so when a call does come, you're negotiating from proof instead of scrambling under deadline.
Who built Vantory?
Operators, not vendors. Vantory was built by the team that ran the top-performing short-term-rental portfolio in its market — more than double the market's nightly rate, 38% margins, and an 8.5× exit in under two years — and turned that playbook into the product. We've done the thing we're selling. Read the full story →
