Who this is NOT for
- Operators with under 10 properties. Hostaway / Guesty's monthly fee will be cheaper for you.
- Anyone trying to fully replace Airbnb / VRBO distribution. Those channels are demand sources you keep; we replace the marketing surface + direct-booking flow.
- Pure single-night-stay short-stay arbitrage. That's a different operator type.

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?
Per-booking SaaS commission stacks up. Owned platforms recoup it.
- Migrated from
Hostaway
Most-common migration. Hostaway often retained as channel manager; marketing + guest UX moved to owned.

What Hostaway actually costs you over 5 years
Per-property + per-booking fees compound. A custom platform breaks even fast at scale.
| Properties | Hostaway, 5 yr | Noseberry, one-time | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | $14K | $25K | — |
| 50 | $36K | $50K | — |
| 150 | $108K | $100K | $8K |
| 500 | $360K | $150K | $210K |
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.
