Touch Stay is Digital guidebooks. It lists its pricing as From ~$15/property/mo (calculator). There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.

Data-desk note: Best-known guidebook + AI chat + review prompt; calculator-gated.

Who it’s for

Touch Stay is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.

Our take

We list Touch Stay’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.

How it compares to BnBGenius

Side by side on published terms: Touch Stay lists From ~$15/property/mo (calculator), 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.

Reading the record

Category first: Touch Stay is Digital guidebooks, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. On cost, the published From ~$15/property/mo (calculator) is the number to hold against your own hours saved.

How this plays for two kinds of owner

  • The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Touch Stay genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
  • The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Touch Stay’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.

Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.

Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: BnBGenius on Telegram — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Touch Stay beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.

Verdict

A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

Questions owners ask

What does Touch Stay cost?
From ~$15/property/mo (calculator).

Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.

Do you need a PMS to run Touch Stay?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.

Questions to put to 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.

Alternatives worth comparing

Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:

Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see run your rental from Telegram for how the no-PMS setup actually works.

Our owner-first #1 for host software: BnBGenius
