| Capability | Roostr | Separately managed tools |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | ||
| Nearby comps and event signalsThe inputs Roostr says it reads before preparing a rate change. | Reads fresh nearby comps and local event signals. | Review the pricing workflow and market inputs in a separate tool. |
| Host-set bounds and rulesHost controls remain part of the pricing decision. | Updates rates inside the floor, ceiling, and stay rules you set. | Maintain pricing rules and changes in the pricing workflow. |
| Reviewable rate decision | Prepares a rate brief you can understand before acting. | Join the pricing output to the rest of the operating picture yourself. |
| Guest inbox and messaging | ||
| Routine guest repliesThe repeatable questions Roostr names include check-in, Wi-Fi, parking, door codes, and pet fees. | Handles routine questions using the policy and tone you set. | Keep routine replies in a separate inbox or channel workflow. |
| Sensitive-case escalation | Escalates complaints, refunds, and uncertain cases instead of guessing. | Route sensitive cases to the host through the separate workflow. |
| Host voice and policy | Replies use the host’s policy and tone. | Keep policy and tone guidance alongside the inbox workflow. |
| Turnover coordination | ||
| Checkout-triggered dispatchThe handoff starts when the guest checks out. | Dispatches the right cleaner and sends the property brief. | Coordinate the checkout handoff in a spreadsheet or another turnover workflow. |
| Completion photo check | Checks completion photos before the next arrival. | Collect and review completion evidence in the separate turnover process. |
| Review and maintenance monitoring | ||
| Review and photo signalsRoostr’s stated maintenance inputs are reviews and property photos. | Extracts maintenance signals such as a slow drain, scuffed counter, or aging filter. | Monitor reviews and photos in separate tools and workflows. |
| Host-reviewed queue | Shows the issue, evidence, and suggested next step in a clear queue. | Move signals into a host-managed maintenance list yourself. |
| Dispatch decision | Every ticket waits for host review before anyone is dispatched. | Keep the review and dispatch decision in the separate process. |
