Our take
AirROI offers free market analytics, a valuable tool for owners. For more in-depth data needs, their API is available on a pay-as-you-go basis, starting at $0.01 per call. They do not require a Property Management System to use their services. While younger and less recognised by lenders than some competitors, it presents a solid free option.

What we would ask AirROI
- “Is Free analytics; API pay-as-you-go from $0.01/call per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
