Who it’s for
Touch Stay is for property owners who want a well-known digital guidebook solution. It accommodates independent owners and smaller portfolios as it doesn't require a PMS.
Our take
Touch Stay is a mid-sized player in the digital guidebook space, recognised for its AI chat and review prompt features. Pricing is available via a calculator, starting from approximately $15 per property per month, with a trial option provided.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Touch Stay shows From ~$15/property/mo (calculator) and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Touch Stay is a solid choice for digital guidebooks, especially with its AI chat. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What to pin down with Touch Stay
- “Is From ~$15/property/mo (calculator) 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.
