Demand visibility
for vacation rentals.
See who's browsing your properties and what they'd actually pay. Before you set the rate.
Free for early operators. 5-minute install. Nothing changes except what you can see.
Every pricing tool you use treats your traffic as one audience. It's not. Some visitors would pay 30% more. Others won't convert at any price. You just can't see which is which. Until now.

How it works
Watch before you act.
Shadow Mode installs in 5 minutes and immediately starts reading visitor behavior. It doesn't change a single price. It shows you what you've been missing.
Install the snippet
One line of JavaScript in your site header. Works with any direct booking site. No PMS integration required.
Shadow Mode reads your traffic
Scroll patterns, search behavior, time on page, device signals, return visits. 147 behavioral signals that reveal who'd pay more and who's price-shopping.
You see the truth
Real-time alerts with specific actions. "High WTP traffic detected, don't activate your scheduled discount this week." "Premium browsers leaving, send this retargeting email." You decide what to do.
Intelligence in real time
See the pattern.
Make the call.
Shadow Mode shows you which visitors would pay more, and which won't convert at any price. Then it tells you exactly what to do about it.
Premium demand is present
54% of this week's traffic shows high willingness to pay. Hold or raise rates. Discounting now leaves money on the table. Potential impact: $48K in unrealized revenue this month.
High-value browsers not converting
131 sessions in the high-WTP, low-intent quadrant. These visitors would pay premium, but they're leaving. Retarget now before they book elsewhere.
High-WTP share spiking
High-WTP share jumped to 60% over the last 3 days. Unusual for this period. You're priced below what the market will bear. Raise rates now or lose the margin.
The blind spot
Your tools know the market.
They don't know your traffic.
PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, Beyond forecast demand from supply-side data. They can't observe it. ApexAlpha watches your actual visitors and tells you what your pricing tools are missing: who's looking and what they'd pay.

High-value visitors undercharged
Some visitors would pay 20-30% more. Your tools show them the same rate.
Discounts wasted on wrong people
You discount to fill gaps, but some of those visitors would have booked at full price.
Decisions made blind
Revenue decisions based on market averages, not individual intent.
