Why OTA commission adds up faster than you think
A 15-25% commission does not sound like much on a single booking. But it is charged on every stay, every year — including repeat guests and referrals you introduced yourself. Over a full year, for a busy small property, that is often one of the largest costs after staff.
A flat annual subscription changes the maths. Instead of paying more as you grow, your software cost stays fixed while every direct booking stays 100% yours. The calculator above shows that gap for your numbers.

Stop Guessing What OTAs Cost You
Most homestay owners underestimate their true OTA bill because it is spread across dozens of individual bookings. This free calculator brings it together into one annual number, using your own rate, occupancy and channel mix. Use it to decide how much of your business is worth moving to direct bookings — and how quickly zero-commission software pays for itself for a property your size in India.
