The published facts, in plain English
Nowistay is AI co-host / channel manager. Published pricing: €12/property/mo; 1 mo free. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: Autonomous replies, 90+ languages, no PMS; young, per-property, no Vrbo/voice.
Who it’s for
This service suits owners of a small number of properties who want an AI co-host that operates independently of a PMS. It's ideal for those looking for multilingual automated guest communication without complex integrations.
Our take
Nowistay operates on a straightforward per-property monthly fee, with a one-month free trial and no requirement for a property management system. While it boasts autonomous replies in many languages and a niche market size, it does not currently support Vrbo or voice commands. The pricing is published as €12 per property per month.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Nowistay lists €12/property/mo; 1 mo free, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Nowistay provides a focused AI co-host solution for owners prioritizing multilingual automated messaging. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Nowistay cost?

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Nowistay
- “Is €12/property/mo; 1 mo free 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.
