<br>The Guesty edge

Your competitive
advantage with Guesty

The proof is in the data. We conducted a market study of US property managers with up to 20 listings who onboarded to Guesty between 2022 and 2024. The pattern was consistent: more revenue per listing, higher occupancy.

The hidden cost of compromise

Real depth vs. a rebrand

Guesty invests $410m and a 250-strong R&D team into one platform, shipping daily. AdvanceCM rebranded from Tokeet and markets itself as AI-powered, but its feature set are still basic compared to Guesty.

Real depth vs. a rebrand

Built-in protection vs. third-party workarounds

Guesty builds business protection right into the platform: damage and liability protection, guest travel insurance, and guest screening. AdvanceCM leaves these to outside providers, so protecting your business means another vendor, another point of contact, and another invoice.

Built-in protection vs. third-party workarounds

Complete guest tools vs. basic interaction


Guesty offers a guest app, communication workflows, 24/7 guest communication services, group reservations, guest screening tools, and a full CRM. AdvanceCM does not support these features.

Complete guest tools vs. basic interaction


Native financials vs. none

Guesty includes North Carolina-compliant trust accounting, a funding solution, a native payment processor, 1099s, and an expense card. AdvanceCM offers none of these.

Native financials vs. none

Advanced AI vs. limited AI

Guesty runs AI across the platform: an AI Agent Hub, messaging autopilot, an AI Copilot, task creation, and an AI Revenue Center. AdvanceCM markets itself as AI-powered, but its AI is less advanced than Guesty's, without the agentic depth.

Advanced AI vs. limited AI

Best-in-class channel management vs. basic connections

Guesty holds the highest level of Airbnb integration and preferred status across Booking.com, Vrbo, and Expedia, so listings stay in sync down to the detail. AdvanceCM holds no preferred partnerships and carries Airbnb sync gaps on listing content, so the connection quality falls short where it counts.
