HostGuide Pricing Update: Moving to Global USD Pricing

November 20, 2025 · 7 min read · by HostGuide Team

We're excited to announce a change that makes HostGuide more accessible globally: transitioning from AUD to USD pricing at $20 USD/year for up to 20 properties.

What's Changing: HostGuide pricing is moving from $20 AUD/year to $20 USD/year for up to 20 properties. This change provides global pricing standardization and makes budgeting easier for international hosts.

Why We're Making This Change

Since launching HostGuide, we've had the privilege of serving hosts from around the world—from Sydney to Seattle, London to Lima, and everywhere in between. Our platform helps hosts provide consistent, professional information to their guests while saving countless hours. As our community has grown increasingly international, we recognized the need for a pricing structure that serves our global audience better.

Three Key Reasons for USD Pricing

  • 🌍

    Global Standardization

    USD is the international standard for digital services. This makes pricing transparent and predictable for hosts worldwide, eliminating confusion from currency fluctuations.

  • 💰

    Easier Budgeting

    With USD pricing, international hosts can budget more easily without worrying about exchange rate variations affecting their annual subscription costs.

  • 🤝

    Industry Alignment

    Major vacation rental platforms and tools price in USD. This change aligns HostGuide with industry standards, making it easier to compare value and plan your hosting business expenses.

What This Means for You

We want to be completely transparent about how this change affects different hosts around the world:

✅ Same Great Value

  • Manage up to 20 properties for $20 USD/year
  • AI-powered guidebook creation
  • Unlimited guest access via QR codes
  • Instant updates across all properties
  • All features included—no hidden costs

🌟 Enhanced Accessibility

  • Predictable pricing for global hosts
  • No currency conversion confusion
  • Easier expense tracking and accounting

$1.67
Per Month
Less than a coffee
$1.00
Per Property/Year
If managing 20 properties
$0.05

For unlimited guests

Annual Cost (1 property) $20 USD $120-240 USD
Annual Cost (5 properties) $20 USD $600-1,200 USD
AI Content Generation ✓ Included Often extra cost
QR Code Access ✓ Unlimited Limited or paid

Questions About the Change?

When does this take effect?

The USD pricing is effective immediately for all new subscriptions. Existing subscribers will transition at their next renewal date with advance notice.

Will there be future price increases?

We're committed to keeping HostGuide affordable. We have no plans to increase the $20/year rate and will always provide advance notice if that changes.

Can I pay in my local currency?

Our payment processor (Stripe) automatically handles currency conversion, so you can pay using your local payment method. The charge will appear in your local currency at the current exchange rate.

Our Commitment to You

At HostGuide, we believe that professional tools for vacation rental hosts should be accessible to everyone—not just those who can afford expensive per-property subscriptions.
