Guesty Lite fees depend on your subscription plan and the number of listings in your portfolio. The currency for a subscription appears in USD by default.
Regular Subscription Plans
Guesty Lite offers two subscription options:
- Monthly Plan – Billed monthly with a fixed fee per listing.
- Annual Plan – Billed annually at a lower per-listing rate for better value.
Subscription Start Date & Billing Cycle
- Your subscription date is set at the end of your trial period.
- Monthly Plan – Fees are charged at the beginning of each billing cycle, based on the number of active listings.
- Annual Plan – Fees are charged upfront for the entire year based on the number of active listings at the start of the billing cycle.
How Listing Fees Are Calculated
Your fee is determined by multiplying the number of active listings by the per-listing fee.
Note:
- VAT may apply to charges depending on your location or local tax regulations. For more details, refer to the Guesty Billing VAT FAQs.
- Offshore Service Margin: As stated in our Terms of Use (Section 5.4), prior to completing a subscription, all fees are charged in USD and rounded to the nearest dollar. While Guesty may display fees in other currencies, these are subject to additional exchange rates or fees imposed by third-party providers (e.g., banks or payment processors). Please note that Guesty does not control exchange rates or any additional fees incurred during conversion.
Example for Monthly Plan:
If you have 5 listings and the fee per listing is $10, your total monthly fee would be:
5 × $10 = $50 per month
Example for Annual Plan:
If you have 5 listings and the annual fee per listing is $100, your total upfront payment would be:
5 × $100 = $500 per year

FAQ
What is considered a listing?
Each bookable unit—whether it’s an entire home or a single room—is counted as one listing. For example:
-
A five-bedroom house where each room is listed separately will count as five listings.
-
A property listed as an entire unit will count as one listing.
Subscription billing impact
Your Guesty Lite subscription fee is calculated by multiplying the number of active listings by the per-listing fee:
-
Monthly Plan: Billed monthly per listing
-
Annual Plan: Billed yearly per listing
If you add or remove listings during your subscription:
-
New listings are prorated based on when they're added.
-
Removed listings remain billed until the end of the current billing cycle.
