You're Not Like Most STR Operators — That's Why This Is for You

How early adopters are weaponizing guest behavior data to dominate direct bookings

Most operators are still playing checkers.
The smart ones are already playing chess.

While the average short-term rental owner argues over pricing rules, weekend premiums, and competitor comps, a new breed of operator is quietly out-earning them — by doing less and earning more.

They're using signal-based pricing — and they're winning.

The Pricing Shift Visionaries Already See

Airlines have done this for years.
Same flight, same seat, different price — based entirely on who's booking.

  • A last-minute search from a MacBook in Manhattan? Premium rate.
  • A planner browsing from rural Ohio on a slow Android? Standard fare.

Same seat. Different value.
That's pricing intelligence. And until now, it didn't exist for STRs.

ApexAlpha changes that.

What Early Operators Are Doing Differently

Early adopters using ApexAlpha aren't fiddling with dashboards.
They're not logging in daily to tweak sliders.

Instead, they've installed one line of code on their website.
Now, every visitor is analyzed — and priced individually.

Not based on dates.
Based on guest behavior, intent, and perceived value.

And the results?

  • +23% revenue in Month 1
  • +31% revenue in Month 2
  • Zero extra effort.

Built for the First Movers

If you're reading this, chances are you're not waiting for mass adoption.
You're not benchmarking — you're building an edge.

That's who we built this for.

ApexAlpha isn't for operators who need guarantees.
It's for those who see the window — and move before it closes.

You're Either Early or You're Irrelevant

If you're ready to:

  • Stop pricing like it's 2015
  • Start capturing value others can't see
  • Leverage behavior, not guesswork

Then you're not our target audience —
You're our prototype.

Get Your Advantage Now

We're opening ApexAlpha to a small group of direct-booking operators who want to go first.

There will come a day when everyone prices this way.
Today is not that day.
That's your advantage.
