Who this is NOT for
- Operators under 30 beds. Hostaway / Smoobu monthly fees will be cheaper for you. Talk to us when you grow.
- Operators happy with generic OTA-style booking flows. Your brand isn't the bottleneck for you yet.
- Anyone unwilling to migrate URLs + redirect old paths. We do this clean; we don't ship-and-leave.
Pick the stage that matches you
0–50 beds
Pre-launch / first asset

50–250 beds
Multi-asset, single market
Add operator dashboard + resident app. Typically 12–16 weeks. Pays for itself in year-2 PMS savings.
250+ beds
Multi-country / scale-up
Full platform. Multi-locale, custom booking engine, BookMyColiving distribution, growth retainer. Typically 16–24 weeks.
The traps that tank a custom build
Custom builds drift
Without weekly checkpoints scope creep tanks the launch date and the budget.
Schema goes stale
AEO-eligible markup needs to be regenerated continuously, not hand-edited once.
PMS / CRM / web silo
Three tools run separately and reconciling spreadsheets costs more than the build.
No cost guardrails
Per-tenant + per-feature cost is invisible until the bill arrives.
Compliance afterthought
GDPR, RERA, MLS, KYC bolted on at the end is 5× the cost of building it in.
Coming from a SaaS you've outgrown?
We've migrated coliving operators off every major SaaS in the space. URLs preserved. Booking funnel zero downtime.
Hostaway
7 engagements
Most-common migration. Hostaway kept as channel manager; marketing surface + direct-booking moved to owned platform.
Cloudbeds
4 engagements
Mid-market operators tired of OTA-shaped UI for long-stay product.
Mews
2 engagements
Hospitality-built but coliving's room-share + long-stay flows broke the box.
Squarespace + Wix
Most single-asset operators arrive here. Migration is fast (4–6 weeks); SEO equity preserved.
The full stack, end-to-end
Booking engine
Inventory, availability, room-share, long-stay tier pricing logic. Custom or PMS-integrated.
Operator dashboard
Real-time occupancy, leads, channel performance, owner reports.
Resident app
iOS + Android. Onboarding, payments, amenity bookings, community feed, support tickets.
Multi-locale site
Per-city + per-language landing pages, schema-first SEO/AEO. Built for 7+ locales.
CRM + WhatsApp automation
Lead routing + drips on WhatsApp + email. Tied to booking funnel events.
BookMyColiving distribution
Optional opt-in to global aggregator demand. Listings, availability, bookings flow through your dashboard.

What Hostaway actually costs you over 5 years
Hostaway charges per-bed per-month. Forever. A custom platform is a one-time cost.
| Beds | Hostaway, 5 yr | Noseberry, one-time | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | $21K | $15K | $6K |
| 200 | $84K | $80K | $4K |
| 500 | $210K | $150K | $60K |
| 1,000 | $420K | $250K | $170K |
5-yr SaaS cost = published per-unit per-month list price × 60 months × units. Real-world fees often higher once transaction percentages + add-ons are included. Noseberry build = scoped one-time fee with optional 12-mo support retainer (~15% of build). Talk to us for a per-vertical quote.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the engagement take?
8–24 weeks depending on scope. Single-vertical launches at the lower end; multi-region platforms at the upper end.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Every line, every model, every contract. Deployed to your cloud. No SaaS lock-in, no per-seat licence.
Can you migrate from a templated SaaS?
Yes. Most builds are migrations. We rebuild on Next.js with proper schema-first SEO/AEO, keep your URLs intact, and 301 the old paths.
Do you handle ongoing ops?
Yes. Most operators continue with us on a retainer covering content, SEO, paid, and growth experiments.
