Alertstays monitors Airbnb listings in real time and notifies users when properties that match their specified location, dates, budget, and amenities become available, are re‑listed, or drop in price. The service provides a web dashboard for creating up to ten custom alerts and delivers daily summaries or instant push/email notifications, offered via a subscription model.

Problem
Finding Airbnb listings that meet specific criteria—such as location, dates, budget, and amenities—requires frequent manual searching and monitoring of new listings, cancellations, and price changes. Users often miss desirable options because they cannot continuously scroll through the platform.
Solution
Alertstays monitors Airbnb in real time based on user-defined search parameters and sends notifications when listings that match those parameters become available. The service alerts users to brand‑new listings, listings that reappear after cancellations, and price‑dropped listings that now fit the budget. Notifications can be delivered daily or instantly, allowing users to act quickly and book through Airbnb without additional effort. Alertstays offers a web interface (and mobile support) where users set up and manage their alerts, and a subscription model provides tiered access to multiple alerts and instant notifications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are frequent travelers, digital nomads, and groups planning short‑term stays who need timely access to specific Airbnb listings, as well as families and event attendees looking for limited‑availability rentals.
