Revenue-share pricing is the default for property-management software, and it is the wrong default for an operator who is scaling. At low revenue, the fee is invisible. At high revenue, it turns the tool into a silent partner, taking more when you do more — the exact moment you want it to do more, not less.
When flat-per-unit wins
When the operator owns more than three units. When occupancy is rising. When the operator wants to add a unit every season without re-running the math on what their software costs. Flat-per-unit is a fixed cost that does not punish growth.
The rare exception
Operators with one unit and high annual revenue (a single luxury listing) sometimes prefer revenue share because the absolute fee is low enough to be invisible. We do not design for that case — the unit of work for our tool is the unit, not the dollar.
