What OTA Dependency Is Really Costing You

71% of vacation rental bookings still go through OTAs. For a 100-unit portfolio, every 1% shift from OTA to direct captures roughly $6,500 in additional annual profit.

A shift from 29% to 60% direct is +$740K in gross revenue and +$148K in commission — without adding a single property.

FAQ

Questions Property Managers Ask Us

A single OTA booking typically hands over 15–25% of its value in commission. DBT is a flat subscription priced per portfolio, and we target a minimum 20:1 ROI — most operators cover the annual investment inside the first quarter of shifted bookings.

Yes. We integrate with OwnerRez, Hostaway and other major PMSes, and the widgets drop into your existing booking engine. Nothing about your PMS, website platform or rate strategy has to change.

The Price Comparison Tool starts influencing conversion the day it goes live. Cart Saver recovery shows up in the same booking window. Portfolio-level mix shifts are typically visible within 60–90 days — Big Fish Rentals moved 15% in 60 days.

It still pays. An 18-unit operator using DBT grew steadily over 18 months, cut OTA costs and improved owner satisfaction. Smaller portfolios feel each recovered booking more, not less.

With reporting, not talking points. You show owners exactly how their properties are performing, what share is booking direct, and what that does to their income — earlier booking windows, longer stays, and more stable revenue.
