Find out what platform fees actually cost you.

Tell us a few things about your property. We'll estimate the booking-platform fees you're paying this year, and show what going direct with your repeat guests would be worth.

Billing period

For a successful first-property activation by 31 Dec 2026 (Brisbane time): the first property is free for the first 3 calendar months, extras are half price immediately, and all properties are half price in months 4–27. Account signup alone does not qualify. The estimate assumes all selected properties are active from the start.

Going direct could save you

A$3,992/first year

Platform fees you pay now
A$10,260
Fees on bookings that could have been direct
A$4,104
Brevity Bookings (first period from A$0/month)
A$112.50
Of your A$10,260 in estimated platform fees, A$4,104 lands on guests who would rebook you direct. That's money paid to a platform to introduce people who already have your phone number.
Going direct with those guests, after the A$112.50 first-year subscription, keeps A$3,992 in your pocket in your first year. That's A$19,395 over five years after A$1,125 in subscription costs: yours to keep, or to share with your repeat guests as better rates.
First year subscription
3 × A$0 introductory monthly payments + 9 × A$12.50 half-price monthly payments
Five year subscription
3 × A$0 introductory monthly payments + 24 × A$12.50 half-price monthly payments + 33 × A$25 regular monthly payments

Numbers update live as you type, and your inputs stay in your browser. Nothing you type into the calculator is sent to us. (Joining the waitlist below is different: that form stores what you submit, as described in our Privacy Policy.) The default fee rate sits inside the publicly reported 8 to 20% all-in range across major short-stay booking platforms. Edit the rate above if you know your specific number. Subscription totals use the selected pricing schedule across each phase; platform fees assume today's inputs hold, with no growth or inflation. Eligible when you activate your first property by 31 Dec 2026 (Brisbane time).
