Extreme example - I’m just a guy with an Airbnb as a side hustle. (Barely even a real business!) I’m pretty thoughtful about taking on new software subscriptions, but I currently pay for:
- Google/Nest video storage - $18/mo (might be a little off there)
…and I’m probably forgetting something. I scrutinize this list regularly and there’s nothing I’d get rid of. These are also purely software subscriptions - not including things like cable/internet, recurring maintenance, insurance, etc. There’s also a long list of products I probably could add to the mix to help manage the house and the business that is a short term rental.
I’m pretty sure this pattern exists in every corner of the market across industries and across business sizes.
- Guesty (calendar management & guest messaging) - $40/mo
- Pricelabs (algorithmic price management) - $20/mo
- Abode (security system) - $16/mo
- Sutro (pool & spa monitoring) - $30/mo
- Minut (noise monitoring) - $12/mo
- Google/Nest video storage - $18/mo (might be a little off there)
