Lodging Gurus vs Awning
Awning charges a percentage of your revenue: 10% to 15% on its Essential plan and 18% to 25% on Full Service. Lodging Gurus charges a flat monthly fee per listing, so if you're looking for an Awning alternative that doesn't grow with every booking, that's the main difference.

What five listings would pay with Awning or with us
For five listings earning $5,000 a month each, Awning Essential would cost $2,500 to $3,750 a month and Full Service $4,500 to $6,250.

What you get with Awning

What you get with Lodging Gurus instead of Awning
Guests, pricing, listings, cleaners, vendors, claims and reviews run 24/7 for a fee that stays flat when you have a great month. Your cleaners stay yours, or we find and interview new ones for you. Live in 3 days, no notice period and the first 30 days are free if you don't see the value.
A flat fee is not an unmotivated fee
A percentage manager earns more when a guest pays more. We earn more when you add a listing, because the fee is per listing. So our incentive is to take enough work off your plate that you can scale, and scaling is how we grow with you. Every dollar a listing earns above last month stays yours, and the next listing you buy is the one that pays us.
Common questions
Awning and Lodging Gurus, answered.
On fees, yes at almost any revenue level, because ours doesn't grow with revenue. At $5,000 a month per listing, Awning Essential is $500 to $750 a listing against our $121. Add your own cleaners to our side and the gap is still wide.
No. We schedule, check and follow up with your local cleaners or hire local staff for you. You pay them directly.
