Switch to Best Guest. We'll do the heavy lifting.
Sign one simple mandate, and we'll request your data from your current provider and help you set up your listings and channels. Commit to Best Guest and your free period matches how long you've already been paying someone else — up to 12 months.
This isn't an automatic switch like changing an energy supplier — no such rule exists for hospitality software. It's a service we do for you, backed by your own data-portability rights under GDPR.
How much free service you get
The longer you've been with your current provider, the more free months you get with us — capped at a full year.
| Less than 1 month | 30 days free |
| 1–3 months | 90 days free |
| 3–6 months | 180 days free |
| 6–12 months | 270 days free |
| 12 months or more | 365 days free |
Free days are added on top of our standard 14-day trial, once you commit to Best Guest (see how switching works below) — we'll confirm your exact free period after reviewing your application.
How switching works
- 1
Tell us about your setup
Fill in the short form below: your current tool, how long you've used it, and which channels you list on.
- 2
Sign the data-request mandate
A short, specific authorization — not a full power of attorney. You sign it right here on this page.
- 3
We review and confirm your free period
We check your competitor and how long you've been with them, and confirm exactly how many days free you qualify for.
- 4
Commit to Best Guest, activate your free period
Sign up (or log in), pick a plan, and sign the switch commitment — a 12-month paid term starting after your free period. That's what activates it.
- 5
We migrate you, and you're live free of charge
We request your data, help you set up your listings and channels, and your free period runs from there — matched to how long you were with your old provider.
What you're actually signing
The mandate you sign on this page is deliberately narrow. It only lets us:
- Ask your current provider to return a copy of your own data — the same data-portability right you already have under GDPR.
- Correspond with them about that one request, on your behalf.
It does not let us:
- Cancel or change your contract with your current provider — that's always your call.
- Make or receive any payments on your behalf.
- Access your account or credentials with your current provider.
We'll set up your channels with you
Airbnb, Booking.com, and the rest — book a free call and we'll walk through your setup together, listing by listing.

Book your free setup call nowSwitching — frequently asked questions
Do I have to cancel my current contract myself?
Yes. Our mandate only covers requesting a copy of your data — ending your existing contract is always your decision, on your own terms.
What happens to my data during the switch?
We ask your current provider to return your data under your existing data-portability rights, then help you import what's usable into Best Guest. You keep full control throughout.
Do I need to give you my Airbnb or Booking.com password?
No — we never ask for your login credentials to other platforms. We'll guide you through connecting your channels yourself, or do it together on a free call.
How is the free period calculated, and when does it start?
We match how long you've been with your current provider, from 30 days up to a full year, on top of our standard 14-day trial. It activates once you commit to Best Guest — see the next question — not automatically at signup.
What if my provider refuses the data request?
Most providers are required to honor it under GDPR. If yours pushes back, we'll help you follow up — and you can still switch and set up fresh in Best Guest either way.
What's the "switch commitment", and why do I have to sign it?
It's a separate, short agreement, distinct from the data-request mandate above: you commit to a paid subscription for 12 months after your free period ends, in exchange for the free period itself. It exists so the offer can't be used to get free migration help and months of free service without ever becoming a paying customer. You sign it in-app, once we've confirmed your free period, right before it activates.
What happens if I cancel before the commitment ends?
You'll owe back the value of the free period you actually used, priced at your plan when you signed — for example, on a flat monthly plan, that's your monthly price times your listings times the number of free months used. It isn't a penalty for leaving; it's the free benefit being clawed back. Stay through your free period plus the 12 paid months, and you owe nothing extra.
