AirDNA Competitors: Every Real Alternative, Priced and Compared

AirDNA now runs Free, $34/month billed annually, or a quote. Here are its five real competitors in 2026, priced from each vendor's own page and compared on the same six dimensions.

AirDNA has five real competitors in 2026: AirROI, Airbtics, Mashvisor, Rabbu, and AllTheRooms. Two of them cost nothing. AirDNA's own pricing changed this year, and the geographic tiers that used to run from $12 a month for a single neighborhood to $599 a month for global access are no longer on its pricing page. As of August 30, 2026 it publishes a free plan, Research at $34 a month billed $400 annually or $125 a month on monthly billing, and a quote-only Property Manager plan for portfolios of six or more. Before you compare any of those prices, understand that every tool on this page produces its revenue number the same way: by inferring, from a listing's public calendar, whether an unavailable night was sold or blocked by the host.

Key takeaways

• AirDNA's cheapest paid plan in 2026 is Research at $400 billed annually, which works out to $34 a month; the identical plan on monthly billing costs $125 a month, or $1,500 across a year.
• AirROI gives away market analytics, revenue estimates, and dynamic pricing at $0, covering more than 20 million properties across 190-plus countries with over a decade of history.
• Airbtics undercuts AirDNA at the entry level at $29 a month billed $349 annually, and every Airbtics plan includes every market worldwide rather than charging per market.
• Mashvisor is the only tool of the five that scores the same property as a short-term rental and a long-term rental side by side, starting at $49.99 a month billed annually.
• None of these tools reports your actual revenue: every one of them excludes cleaning fees from its revenue figure, and none can see your payouts or your expenses.

What AirDNA Costs in 2026, and What Changed

AirDNA publishes three plans plus a free tier, and none of them are priced by geography anymore. The AirDNA pricing page lists Free at $0 forever, Research at $34 a month when billed $400 for the year or $125 a month on monthly billing, and Property Manager as a quote for operators with six or more properties. A fourth product sits on the same page: Adapt, AirDNA's AI pricing engine, offered with a free trial and no published price.

The billing gap is the number worth noticing. Research is $400 paid once a year or $1,500 paid twelve times, a $1,100 spread for identical software. AirDNA advertises that as 73% off, and the arithmetic holds. If you subscribe monthly and cancel after underwriting one deal, you have spent $125 on a question two free tools on this page answer the same afternoon.

Decide which of two numbers you are buying before you pay for either. A research subscription tells you what listings like yours earn. MagicBNB computes a single Net Payout source of truth from your connected PMS payouts and your bank transactions, and every screen asks that one calculation for its answer, so the revenue on your dashboard is money that cleared rather than a model's output. The two are not substitutes at any price, and operators who buy one expecting it to do the other job are the ones writing the frustrated reviews.

What the paid tier buys over the free one is real. Research adds the customizable Rentalizer with control over which comparable properties feed the estimate, historical market performance, future demand data showing which upcoming nights are getting booked and at what rates, and five Rentalizer Agent underwriting reports. Forward demand is the weakest area across the free alternatives, so if you set rates months ahead it is the line item that justifies the subscription.

The Five AirDNA Competitors, Priced and Compared

Each tool below is scored on the same six dimensions in the same order: entry price, top published price, coverage, where the revenue estimate comes from, what the revenue figure leaves out, and who should buy it. Every price was read off the vendor's own pricing page on August 30, 2026, not from a review site.

1. AirROI

• Entry price: $0. The core platform, including market analytics, revenue estimates, and dynamic pricing, is free with no listing cap.
• Top published price: none for the app. API access is pay as you go from $0.01 per call with no contract and no minimum.
• Coverage: more than 20 million properties across 190-plus countries, over ten years of history, and forecasts running up to a year ahead.
• Revenue estimate source: modeled from tracked listing calendars and nightly rates.
• Revenue figure excludes: cleaning fees, taxes, and every cost you actually pay.
• Buy it if: you screen markets constantly and see no reason to pay for directional data. It is the strongest free replacement for AirDNA's market research job.

2. Airbtics

Prices below come from the Airbtics pricing page, which also confirms the detail that matters most for multi-market investors: a subscription covers every market worldwide, so there is nothing to buy per city.

• Entry price: $29 a month on the Analytics Expert plan, billed $349 annually.
• Top published price: $295 a month on Market Intelligence Scale, or $750 billed annually. Enterprise is quote-only.
• Coverage: every market worldwide on every plan, with three years of historical data at daily granularity. Airbtics states it has tracked all Airbnb listings globally on a fixed interval since 2020 and claims better than 96% accuracy against actual bookings and revenue.
• Revenue estimate source: listing-level calendar and rate tracking, modeled to bookings.
• Revenue figure excludes: cleaning fees, taxes, and your operating costs.
• Buy it if: you invest deep in one or two markets and want configuration-level answers, such as whether a two-bedroom or a studio wins on a specific block. At $349 a year it lands just under AirDNA Research.

3. Mashvisor

Mashvisor is the only tool here built around a strategy question rather than a market question, and its pricing page prices that comparison as the product.

• Entry price: $49.99 a month on Lite, billed annually.
• Top published price: $99.99 a month on Professional billed annually, or $119.99 quarterly. Enterprise is quote-only.
• Coverage: roughly 95% of US markets, with short-term rental regulatory summaries for more than 500 cities. No international coverage.
• Revenue estimate source: rental comps blended from the MLS, Zillow, Rentometer, Airbnb, and Census Bureau data.
• Revenue figure excludes: cleaning fees, taxes, and your operating costs. Expenses are user-entered on paid tiers.
• Buy it if: your capital could go either direction and you need the short-term and long-term numbers on the same address, with cap rate and cash-on-cash estimates for both.

4. Rabbu

Rabbu deserves credit for stating its exclusions in plain language. Its Airbnb calculator says outright that the revenue it reports is gross and leaves out cleaning fees, Airbnb service fees, and property management fees. Most competitors bury the same caveat.

• Entry price: $0. The calculator and market data are free to investors.
• Top published price: none published for the investor tools.
• Coverage: US addresses only, with the underlying comp data recalculated weekly.

• Revenue estimate source: comparable listings drawn from millions of tracked US Airbnb properties, adjustable by percentile.
• Revenue figure excludes: cleaning fees, Airbnb service fees, and property management fees, stated on the tool itself.
• Buy it if: you underwrite specific addresses rather than comparing markets, and you want a seasonality curve and an editable comp set at no cost.

5. AllTheRooms

• Entry price: not published. The pricing page returns no plan table to a crawler, and the enterprise track is quote-based.
• Top published price: quote only.
• Coverage: global, with regulatory and permit intelligence that no other tool on this list carries.
• Revenue estimate source: a patented booked-versus-blocked classifier plus Bayesian matching to deduplicate the same property across Airbnb and Vrbo.
• Revenue figure excludes: cleaning fees, taxes, and your operating costs.
• Buy it if: you operate in permit-sensitive markets where a licence rule changes the underwriting, or you need one vendor covering both market data and compliance.

A note on Wheelhouse and PriceLabs

Neither is an AirDNA competitor, and treating them as one costs money in both directions. AirDNA researches markets it has never touched. Wheelhouse and PriceLabs connect to your PMS and change your live nightly rates. Most operators past three doors end up paying for one of each, because a research subscription cannot move a price and a pricing engine cannot tell you whether to buy in the next county.

Booked or Blocked: The Dimension Nobody Compares

Every revenue estimate on this page rests on one classification, and it is the same classification in all five products: when a listing's calendar shows a night as unavailable, was that night sold or was the host holding it? Nothing in the public data says which. The number you are paying for is a model's guess at the answer, repeated across every listing in the market.

The industry says so in its own filings. When Deckard Technologies acquired AllTheRooms in August 2025, its acquisition announcement listed among the six US patents it picked up a booked-blocked classifier machine learning model built specifically to distinguish real bookings from blocked dates, alongside a Bayesian matching patent (US-10579626-B2) for deduplicating one property listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo. Companies do not patent solutions to problems that are easy.

Two failure modes follow, and they push the same direction. A host who blocks three weeks for a floor refinish reads as demand. A listing that goes dark because it stopped selling reads as demand too. Supply that was never bookable gets counted as supply that sold, which is why estimates skew optimistic in thin markets where a handful of listings carry the whole sample.

Reconciled data has no such ambiguity. MagicBNB's Smart transaction ledger matches each bank deposit against the payout records pulled from your PMS, so a night either produced money that cleared or it did not, with no classifier standing in between. Use that to audit a tool before you trust it: run a property you already own through any estimator on this page, compare its output to your reconciled figure for the same months, and you learn how far that specific model misses in your specific market before you rely on it somewhere you have never operated.

Every tool on this list is guessing why a calendar closed. Your bank statement is not guessing.

Which AirDNA Competitor to Buy, by What You Are Doing

Match the tool to the job and the shortlist collapses fast. Screening many markets on no budget: AirROI, at $0, with coverage no paid tool beats. Going deep on one or two markets: Airbtics at $349 a year, which undercuts AirDNA Research by $51 and includes every market instead of one. Deciding between short-term and long-term on the same property: Mashvisor from $49.99 a month, because nothing else scores both. Underwriting individual US addresses: Rabbu, free, with an editable comp set. Operating where permits and licence caps drive the returns: AllTheRooms, on a quote.

Each pairing has a full head-to-head with the feature detail this page compresses: AirROI vs AirDNA, Airbtics vs AirDNA, AirDNA vs Mashvisor, Rabbu vs AirDNA, AllTheRooms vs AirDNA, and AirDNA vs Wheelhouse for the research-versus-pricing split.

If you are staying on AirDNA, the guide to reading AirDNA data without overpaying for it covers which tier is actually worth buying, and we tested its estimates against real payout data in is AirDNA accurate.

What None of These Tools Can Tell You

Not one of the six products on this page, AirDNA included, can report a single dollar you have actually received. They have no connection to your reservations, your payouts, or your bank. That is a category boundary rather than a shortcoming: they were built to answer questions about markets you do not yet operate in, and they answer them well enough to be worth the money at the pre-purchase stage.

The gap shows up the month after closing. Your revenue is what channels paid you net of their fees, minus cleaning, utilities, supplies, maintenance, management, and debt service. Every one of those lines is invisible to an estimate tool, and the first four are the ones that decide whether a property with a good-looking ADR is actually earning anything.

Closing that gap is an integration problem. MagicBNB's Bank account integration links checking, savings, business, and merchant accounts with real-time sync, and pairs the transaction side with your PMS reservations, so per-property profit is computed from both halves of the ledger rather than one. The practical test for any operator with more than two doors: if you cannot name your worst-performing property by margin without opening a spreadsheet, no market subscription is going to tell you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are AirDNA's biggest competitors in 2026?

AirROI, Airbtics, Mashvisor, Rabbu, and AllTheRooms are the five that compete directly on short-term rental market data. AirROI and Rabbu are free, Airbtics starts at $349 a year, Mashvisor starts at $49.99 a month billed annually, and AllTheRooms prices by quote. Wheelhouse and PriceLabs are often listed as competitors and are not: they set your nightly rates rather than research markets.

Is there a genuinely free alternative to AirDNA?

Yes. AirROI gives away market analytics, revenue estimates, and dynamic pricing for more than 20 million properties in over 190 countries at $0, and Rabbu's US address calculator is free with weekly-refreshed comp data. Both are full products rather than crippled trials. What you give up against AirDNA Research is forward demand data and the depth of its comp-set controls.

Is Airbtics cheaper than AirDNA?

At the entry tier, yes, by $51 a year: Airbtics Analytics Expert is $349 billed annually against AirDNA Research at $400. The gap reverses at the top, where Airbtics Market Intelligence Scale runs $295 a month on monthly billing while AirDNA stops publishing prices above Research and moves you to a quote. Airbtics also includes every worldwide market on every plan.

Why do these tools disagree about the same property?

Because each one guesses differently at whether an unavailable night was booked or blocked, and that guess is the entire revenue estimate. A renovation block, a personal stay, and a sold-out weekend all look identical on a public calendar. The disagreement widens in thin markets where a small number of listings drives the model, which is where two tools can differ by 20% or more on the same address.

Do any of these tools include cleaning fees in their revenue numbers?

No. Every product on this list reports revenue as booked nights times nightly rate, which excludes cleaning fees and taxes. Rabbu states this explicitly on its calculator. The practical effect: a listing charging a $150 cleaning fee on three-night average stays collects meaningfully more gross than the estimate shows, and nets less than the same estimate implies once cleaning is actually paid for.

Can any AirDNA alternative track my own portfolio's performance?

None of the market research tools can, because none of them connect to your PMS or your bank. They benchmark you against modeled comparables and stop there. Tracking real per-property revenue, expenses, and net profit requires reservation data and transaction data in the same system, which is a different product category from everything compared on this page.

Market tools estimate what listings like yours earn. Your bank account records what yours actually earned. Connect your PMS and your accounts, and every door gets ranked on reconciled revenue, real expenses, and true net profit. See your actual numbers in MagicBNB →
