6 months free.
20 hosts. One promise.
We're onboarding 20 short-term-rental hosts personally. You get everything MapleNorth ships, free, for six months. In return, you tell us what's broken and what to build next.
What you get
Everything MapleNorth ships, no asterisks.
One calendar across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo
iCal two-way sync every 15 minutes, both directions. Zero double bookings — for real, not in theory.
AI-drafted guest replies in 8 languages
EN / ES / PT / FR / DE / IT / HR / SL. Pre-arrival, check-in, mid-stay, checkout, review request. One tap sends via WhatsApp; copy-paste into any channel inbox.
One inbox for email + WhatsApp
Each property gets a unique forwarding email; connect a Meta WhatsApp number and inbound messages route automatically to the right booking thread.
AI nightly pricing with reasoning
Claude reviews demand, day-of-week, lead time, and your minimums to suggest a rate per night — with a one-line "why" ("Sat weekend + high demand → +18%").
Every guest, every booking, one searchable list
Filter by arriving / checked-in / past, by property, by channel. Guest phone, email, dates, total at a glance.
Public guest guide per property
Shareable link with check-in, WiFi, house rules, local tips. Update once — every future guest sees the latest version.
Honest operations dashboard
Occupancy %, revenue, ADR, sync health, upcoming arrivals. Numbers your accountant cares about, not vanity charts.
iCal export back to your channels
Direct bookings, owner stays, and maintenance blocks push back to Airbnb / Booking / Vrbo automatically.
6 months free, no surprises
No credit card. No auto-billing trick. 20 closed-beta spots total. After the 6 months: lifetime founder pricing — 50% off whichever plan you pick.
Founder-led onboarding & support
30-minute setup call with me personally. Direct WhatsApp / email line for feature requests and bugs. Same-day response on anything blocking you.
What's NOT automated yet — be honest with ourselves
Pushing prices and outbound messages directly into Airbnb / Booking.com / Vrbo requires each platform's certified partner program — a 6-to-12-month process we're applying to after the beta wraps. For now, MapleNorth recommends rates and drafts replies; you set them in each channel with one tap or copy-paste. We'll close that loop in 2027.
The trade
The deal goes both ways.
What we promise
- Every feature, free, for 6 months — no usage caps, no per-property fees
- 30-minute founder-led setup call (with me, Marko)
- Direct WhatsApp / email line for feature requests and bug reports
- Same-day response on anything blocking you
- Lifetime 50% off whichever plan you choose, locked in for as long as you stay
- Your data exportable any time. No lock-in.
What we ask in return
- Actually use the product (at least 1 active property syncing)
- A 20-minute call with us every ~3 weeks during the beta
- Honest feedback when something breaks or annoys you
- Tell at least 2 other hosts about us if you'd genuinely recommend it
- Permission to quote you (anonymously or by name, your call) once we go GA
- Patience when we ship something half-baked — that's the point of a beta
Apply
Two minutes. No quiz.
I read every application personally and reply within 24 hours — either with a calendar link, or with an honest note on why this isn't the right fit yet.
FAQ
Common questions
What if I'm not selected?+
You stay on the waitlist for the next cohort, and we'll send you a one-time launch discount when we open up paid plans.
What does 'lifetime 50% off' actually mean?+
When you transition off the free beta, you pick any paid plan and get 50% off the published price — for as long as you keep an active MapleNorth subscription. If you cancel and resubscribe later, you'd be at standard rates.
Can I bring my own iCal URLs in immediately?+
Yes. The first thing we do on the onboarding call is paste in your Airbnb / Booking / Vrbo iCal URLs. Bookings start syncing within 15 minutes.
What happens to my data if I leave?+
Export everything (CSV + iCal) any time, no extra cost. After you cancel, your data is deleted within 30 days — see our security page for details.
Why only 20 hosts?+
Because founder-led onboarding doesn't scale to 200. I want every beta host to know they can text me directly and get a real answer the same day. After this cohort proves the model, we open up paid plans more broadly.
Are you GDPR compliant? Where does my data live?+
EU-hosted on Supabase, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, Row-Level Security per user. Full breakdown at /security.
