Frequently asked questions
Why do boutique hotels need rate monitoring?+
Boutique hotels compete on experience, but pricing still drives the booking decision. When a similar property in your set drops 15% or sells out for a peak weekend, you need to see it the next morning — not a week later when the booking window has closed.
Isn't enterprise rate intelligence too expensive for an independent hotel?+
Traditional rate-shopper tools price for chains. OTABot starts free for 2 competitors and scales with you — Essential at €9/month covers 5 competitors with rate alerts. You get the same daily heatmaps and positioning charts without a six-figure contract.
How many competitors should I track?+
For most boutiques, 5–10 close substitutes is the sweet spot: properties travelers actually compare you against on price and experience. The Growth plan (10 competitors) is the most common choice; Business goes to 15 if you span multiple market segments.
Can I include my own listing?+
Yes. Mark a Booking.com or Airbnb URL as your own property and OTABot will display your nightly rates next to your competitor set, so you can see undercuts and overpricing at a glance.
