Airbnb co-host fees: what should you expect to pay?

Separate software from human co-hosting

CoHostBnB software today: Host $15/month and Autopilot $25/month for one listing (a year costs ten times the monthly price). Managed co-hosting: 18% of accommodation payout on-site or 9% remote (founding 15%/8%), setup $499/$199. See pricing.

Understand the managed-service fee base

CoHostBnB advertises in-person co-hosting from 15% and remote co-hosting from 8%. Those are conditional introductory rates for twelve months, subject to confirmation. The published standard rates are 18% and 10%, respectively. Standard setup is $499 for in-person and $199 for remote; qualifying introductory setup is waived. Do not budget on an introductory offer until it is confirmed in writing.

Those service percentages apply to accommodation payout after the platform host fee, excluding cleaning fees, taxes and deposits. That is not necessarily the same number as gross booking revenue. Cleaning and repairs pass through separately at cost. Ask how each property’s minimum is applied and how a cancellation, refund or adjustment affects the invoice.

Work through a concrete month

Use the co-host fee calculator with your own numbers. It separates accommodation payout from booking revenue and labels managed estimates as lower bounds. Keep setup charges separate from the monthly comparison so the first invoice does not become a surprise.

Check eligibility and scope before signing

GREEN, YELLOW and RED availability changes what can be offered. Percentage-based Pro requires an eligible verified property; YELLOW uses fixed monthly administrative Assist and owner publishing, while RED is software only. The host stays payee. A hospitality team provides the agreed managed scope, with local coverage checked separately. Review published pricing and dated PMS comparisons, then request a written schedule of tasks, approvals, minimums and cancellation terms.
