In today’s booking landscape, pricing isn’t a “set-and-forget” task — it’s a strategic game. Travellers compare listings across multiple OTAs, and just a few dollars’ difference can win (or lose) a booking. That’s why we’ve built a suite of free hotel pricing tools to help you stay competitive on platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Agoda, and Trip.com.
Each tool is designed to help hoteliers and accommodation providers optimise their room rates in real time, based on what competitors are charging. Whether you manage a boutique hotel, a B&B, or a small resort, understanding your local pricing landscape is key to winning direct bookings and boosting profitability.
Below, we walk you through each pricing tool — and the booking site it supports — so you can tailor your pricing strategy even more effectively.
Booking.com Pricing Tool
Booking.com is one of the largest and most recognised OTAs globally, offering high visibility to both leisure and business travellers. Known for flexible cancellation policies and a vast inventory of listings, Booking.com attracts millions of bookings each year from a broad international audience.
The Booking.com Pricing Tool allows you to view competitor rates over the next 21 days, with a clear breakdown by room type. This makes it easy to compare like-for-like listings and assess your current market position.
By understanding where your property sits among your competitors, you can adjust your rates to respond to demand surges, seasonal trends, or local events. For example, if you notice a spike in competitor pricing around an upcoming concert weekend, you can adjust your rates in advance to capitalise on increased demand.

Airbnb Pricing Tool
Airbnb has revolutionised the travel industry with its community-driven model, offering guests unique and often more affordable alternatives to traditional hotels. It’s especially popular among younger travellers, digital nomads, and families looking for apartment-style living.
The Airbnb Pricing Tool tracks and displays nightly rates for comparable listings in your area, giving you a real-time view of the local Airbnb landscape.
Using this insight, you can price your property competitively while protecting your margins. For example, if nearby two-bedroom apartments are increasing their rates for the school holidays, you can follow suit without blindly guessing.

Expedia Pricing Tool
Expedia is a full-service OTA offering flights, accommodation, car hire, and holiday packages. Its extensive network and bundling options attract a wide range of travellers, from business guests to international holidaymakers.
The Expedia Pricing Tool pulls rate data for nearby properties, letting you easily compare prices across selected date ranges.
Because Expedia travellers often plan further ahead and are willing to spend more, tailoring your pricing to meet their expectations can pay off. For example, if you see that similar hotels are charging higher rates six months out for the summer season, you can raise your advance booking prices accordingly.

Agoda Pricing Tool
Agoda is a major OTA across the Asia-Pacific region, well known for offering competitive deals, flash sales, and last-minute offers to a price-conscious audience.
The Agoda Pricing Tool displays current room rates for comparable properties listed on Agoda, giving you the ability to adjust quickly to market changes.
This tool is particularly helpful if you operate in a market with strong regional travel patterns. For instance, if you notice other properties discounting heavily during off-peak periods, you can align your pricing strategy to maintain occupancy.

Trip.com Pricing Tool
Trip.com is one of the fastest-growing OTAs globally, with a particularly strong customer base among Chinese-speaking and Asian travellers. It offers localised services and payment options, making it a go-to platform for international travel planning.
The Trip.com Pricing Tool helps you see how your rates compare against competitors listed on Trip.com.
If you’re looking to expand into emerging markets or tap into the growing Asian travel segment, staying competitively priced on Trip.com can significantly boost your visibility. For example, adjusting your pricing to match demand around major Chinese holidays could help you secure more bookings.
