How much is your annual spend on 3rd party software and apps?

ie: pricing software, listing platforms other than Vrbo and Airbnb, digital guestbooks, integration software, direct booking sites, camera subscriptions, other subscriptions etc.

Then what percentage of all this software is it of your net profits?

Just curious as there is always some other nifty piece of software with its hand out to reduce our net profits

    John, 

    I am managing 3 properties and spend on the following:

    Hospitable 

    PriceLabs

    Intellihost (for click rates and pricing optimization)

    Canva

    OpenAI

    Houfy for direct websites

    How much does all these cost annually?

     Monthly rates are a mix of variable and fixed costs based on the number of properties; with three properties here is what I pay (published rates):

    Hospitable $72

    Pricelabs $50

    Intellihost $59

    Canva $14

    Open ai $10

    Houfy $11

    $216 * 12 = $2,592
