Pricing
A recommended first step, one big step, and a membership that keeps it all running. Fixed fees, never commission, and every price includes VAT.
It all starts with a free 20-minute call. Book yours →
Step 1 · The Business Review · £195
Before you spend anything on set-up, we look properly at your house, your bookings and your costs, and show you where the money is. It's optional, but it's where we recommend every owner starts.
All in a 5-page written report, talked through with you on a 45-minute call.
From booking to your Review call usually takes about 10 working days.
Step 2 · Set-up
Set-up gives you everything you need to take bookings directly, in your own name: your own website, your own booking system and payments, and every booking site you use on one calendar. We build it, test it and hand it over. You fill in one form and come to two calls.
Your own website with live availability and secure payment, so guests who find you can book you with no booking site in the middle and no commission.
Your website, booking system, payment account and guest list all belong to you. Your business builds value you own.
Airbnb, Booking.com and up to five sites in all, kept in step with your own website. No double bookings, no juggling.
Around 14 hours of skilled work over 2 to 3 weeks. You fill in one form and come to two calls; we do the rest.
Set-up pays for itself once about £7,400 of bookings come to you direct instead of through a site charging 15% commission. For an owner letting £35,000 a year, that's about 21% of a year's bookings, and the saving carries on every year after. Illustrative: 15% commission against a card fee of about 1.5% on a direct booking. Your Business Review works out your own figure.
Step 3 · Your membership
Once your set-up is done, Essentials is how it stays looked after: your website hosted, secure and up to date, your booking system supported and your obligations kept on track.
Your website and booking system are only as good as the care they get after launch. That's why Essentials is part of every Pinabo plan: it's the foundation your set-up stands on, and the base every add-on builds from.
Rolling monthly, 30 days' notice. Your Business Review credit comes off it first.
Optional add-ons
Each add-on is a monthly extra on top of Essentials. Add or drop one from the start of any month.
Example
Essentials with Growth and Social: £29 + £98 in add-ons, less 10% bundle discount (£9.80) = £117.20 a month, including VAT.
Other costs
Your booking system subscription and any booking-site commission are paid by you directly, in your name, and card payments on direct bookings carry the payment provider's usual fee. We set out the real figures in writing before you commit to anything.

We'll reply within one working day to arrange a time that suits you.
No, it's optional, and you can go straight to set-up after your free call. But almost every owner starts with one, because it shows you in your own figures what Pinabo could do before you commit to set-up. And if you join within 30 days, the £195 comes back to you off your membership.
Sign up within 30 days of your Review call and the full £195 is taken off your membership bills, starting from the month you go live, until it's used up. On Essentials alone, that's your first 6 months paid for, with £21 off the month after.
Because your website and booking system need looking after once they're built: hosting, security, updates, support and the reminders that keep your obligations on track. Essentials is how we do that, so it's the one monthly part every member has. It's rolling monthly with 30 days' notice.
No. Essentials at £29 a month is a complete membership on its own. Add-ons are there if you want more help, and you only pay for the ones you choose.
Yes. Add or drop an add-on from the start of any month. Your bundle discount is worked out on the add-ons you have that month.
Take more than one add-on and the add-on fees are reduced: 10% off with 2, 15% off with 3 or more. The discount comes off the add-on fees only, not Essentials or one-off costs.
Yes. Pay for a year upfront and you pay for 11 months instead of 12, on Essentials and any add-ons you choose.
No. The booking sites bring valuable first-time guests, and most members stay listed. We help you choose the sites that earn their keep, connect them to one calendar, and build your direct bookings alongside them.
You do. It is built for your property, carries your name, and is yours to keep. Pinabo hosts it, keeps it secure and makes your updates as part of your membership.
You do. Your booking system account is set up in your name, and Pinabo is given user access to manage it for you. Your guest list is built with each guest's consent and belongs to your business, which also makes it part of what your business is worth.
Membership is rolling monthly with 30 days' notice. We'd rather earn your membership each month than lock you in.
Yes. Every price on this page includes VAT, so what you see is what you pay.
Your booking system subscription and any booking-site commission are paid by you directly, in your name. Card payments on direct bookings carry the payment provider's usual fee. We set all of this out in writing, with real figures, before you commit to anything.
We keep it on track for you: a calendar of what is due, reminders before deadlines, and a safe place for your certificates and records. The legal responsibility stays with you as the owner, and where you need a specialist, we will point you to one.
We are starting with owners across Chichester, Arun and the West Sussex coast, where we can visit in person. We can also work with owners anywhere in England by video call.
It is a relaxed 20-minute conversation, by video, phone or in person. We'll ask how your guests book today, what you pay in commission and what you'd like the house to earn. If we can help, we'll suggest a Business Review. If we can't, we'll say so.
