Maveriks alternative: Book With Haven vs Maveriks
Maveriks is a white-label direct booking website platform for short-term rental managers: connect one of thirteen PMSs, go live within 24 hours, and pay either 2% plus $5 per listing a month or a flat $8.90 per listing with no performance fee. Book With Haven is the platform that keeps going after the booking: a branded site generated from your listing in minutes, its own 0% commission checkout, guest CRM, guest portals, screening, upsells, SEO and AI-search scorecard, Blog Autopilot, and a Haven Assistant that changes the site from a sentence — on any PMS or none, free to build.
Competitor facts checked
5.0on Capterra · 6 reviews, September 2026Both put a bookable site on your own domain instead of renting every guest from a marketplace. One is a white-label layer on the PMS you already pay for; the other is a platform that runs with a PMS or without one.
Maveriks is a white-label, PMS-synced direct booking website platform for short-term rental managers, listed on the Guesty marketplace and on Scale Rentals Connect. Its site shows logos for Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Smoobu, OwnerRez, RentalWise, Hostify, Direct, BookingSync, Avantio, Beds24 and Cloudbeds; its Guesty listing says direct bookings are pushed into Guesty, including their payments. It publishes two plans: Hybrid, a 2% performance fee plus $5 per listing per month, and Fixed, $8.90 per listing per month with no performance fee; the base the 2% applies to is not stated. A Google Review AI Agent costs $0.50 per review. There is a 15-day trial, one or two onboarding calls of 30–60 minutes, a dedicated customer success manager by WhatsApp, Slack or email, and a promise to be live “within 24 hours”. The site advertises a 4-click booking flow, custom branding, SEO pages, interactive maps, multilingual listings, amenity filters, alternative-listing suggestions when dates are taken, review sentiment analysis, a cross-PMS network to sell other managers’ units, and an API with webhooks. Its proof is a vendor-reported 12-month pilot with 100 managers — “7 million guests analyzed”, “+28% direct bookings”, “+400% conversion” — and six testimonials; no Capterra or G2 rating was found, and the company’s location and team are not stated on its site, based on publicly available information as of November 2026.
Book With Haven is the direct booking platform itself. Connect Airbnb, your PMS, or an iCal feed and every place gets a free Haven site and a place in Haven’s plain-language AI guest search and the open catalog that ChatGPT and Claude read. Publish it and the same site runs Stripe checkout with 0% commission, a guest CRM with smart remarketing, guest portals with digital guidebooks, free screening with up to $50,000 damage protection on eligible bookings via Truvi, rental agreements, deposits, taxes, native upsells, turnover tasks and payouts, a 100-point SEO and AI-search scorecard, Blog Autopilot, AI reels, One Click Ads, loyalty points, and a Haven Assistant that changes the site from a sentence — on flat published plans, with no build fee, no hosting fee, and nothing to buy back when you leave.
The honest frame: Maveriks has the lowest per-listing price among the PMS-synced builders Haven compares, a no-fee fixed option, a performance-fee option that costs little until a booking lands, and a 24-hour launch — those are real. Haven generates the site from your listing data, has no design canvas, and sells no other manager’s units through your checkout. Everything after the booking — the guest, the marketing, the money — is where the two part company. This page compares them on the capabilities hosts ask about most.
Haven vs Maveriks: what to weigh first
The practical differences, costs, limits and switching steps, before the full feature table. Maveriks facts as of November 2026.
The differences that decide it
- Maveriks will not run without a PMS: it syncs from one of thirteen listed systems and pushes direct bookings, including their payments, back into it; no standalone mode is documented. Haven runs on its own from an Airbnb listing, or on top of those PMSs and others.
- Maveriks is priced per listing: 2% plus $5 per listing a month on Hybrid, or $8.90 per listing a month on Fixed, before the PMS subscription underneath, and the base of the 2% is not stated. Haven’s plans are published flat monthly prices that include a set number of properties, with a per-property add-on beyond it and no performance fee on any booking; the cost examples below put the two side by side.
- Maveriks stops at the booking, and the booking itself lands in your PMS. A guest portal, guidebook, messaging, screening, upsells, deposits, taxes, agreements, loyalty, gift cards, smart locks, tasks and a guest CRM are not documented. Haven includes them on every plan.
- Maveriks is the faster PMS-only launch: live “within 24 hours”, with onboarding calls and a named customer success manager on WhatsApp, Slack or email. Haven builds the site in minutes from an Airbnb or PMS import and you publish when you are ready, with the Haven Assistant and help center instead of a named manager.
- Maveriks’ proof is self-reported: a 12-month pilot with 100 managers (“+28% direct bookings”, “+400% conversion”, “7 million guests analyzed”) and six testimonials on its site, with no Capterra or G2 rating found and no company location or team stated as of November 2026. Haven’s dated Capterra rating is shown on this page.
- Maveriks advertises multilingual listings, but a partner directory lists it as English only and United States only. Haven publishes up to 5 languages with per-language URLs and hreflang.
Where Maveriks is the better fit
- You run one of Maveriks’ thirteen PMSs and want the booking and its payment pushed straight into that PMS; Maveriks is designed for exactly that.
- You want the lowest per-listing line among PMS-synced builders, or a performance-fee plan that costs $5 per listing a month until a booking lands.
- You want to sell other managers’ units from your site through a cross-PMS network. Haven Communities list member stays and exchange backlinks; Haven does not sell another manager’s inventory through your checkout.
- You want a dedicated customer success manager on WhatsApp or Slack and scheduled onboarding calls. Haven’s onboarding is self-serve, with the Haven Assistant and help center.
| Scenario | Book With Haven | Maveriks |
|---|---|---|
| One listing | $15/month on Starter ($9/month billed yearly), 0% commission. | $8.90/month on the Fixed plan with no performance fee, or $5/month plus a 2% performance fee on the Hybrid plan — on a base Maveriks does not state — plus the PMS subscription the site requires. |
| Ten listings | $39/month on Growth ($29/month billed yearly), 0% commission. | $89/month on the Fixed plan, or $50/month plus 2% per booking on the Hybrid plan; if the 2% applies to the booking total, a $1,000 booking adds $20, but the base is not stated. Plus the PMS subscription for ten listings. |
| Asking guests for Google reviews | Included: link a Google Business Profile and guests are asked for reviews that show on your site. | The Google Review AI Agent at $0.50 per review. |
Card processing applies to every direct booking on either platform. Haven prices come from the current plan catalog; see pricing.
Switching: what moves and what you redo
- Listings, photos, rates and calendars come into Haven from the same PMS Maveriks reads, or from Airbnb; nothing is re-typed.
- Connect the domain you already own and Haven scans the current site, builds a 301 redirect map from each old address to the matching Haven page, and suggests what to bring over (SEO pages, area guides, FAQs). Pages written on Maveriks are copied over by hand or imported from the public URLs.
- Reviews import from your PMS, Airbnb, Vrbo or a file. What Maveriks lets a departing customer export is not documented, so take your guest records from the PMS, where its bookings land.
- Leaving Haven: the domain is yours, so point DNS elsewhere; your guest list and booking reports export as CSV.
Book With Haven vs Maveriks, at a glance
Your listings appear in Haven’s plain-language AI stay search and in its open search API and MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants — each result links travelers to book direct with you, with no commission or guest fee.
Builds your own site; its cross-PMS network lets managers sell each other’s units, but no traveler-facing search catalog or search API for AI assistants is documented.
Connect Airbnb, your PMS, or an iCal feed and every place gets a free Haven site in Haven’s AI guest search, the Haven app, and the catalog AI assistants read. No listing fee, no commission, no guest fee — guests send booking requests, Haven emails you each one, and you pay only to accept.
A per-listing subscription, not a listing: $5 or $8.90 per listing a month from the first listing after a 15-day trial; traffic comes from its SEO pages and the links you share.
A no-code branded site per listing or a group site for several, custom domain, and built-in Stripe checkout with instant book or request-to-book — the free Haven site becomes your direct booking site the moment you subscribe.
A genuine strength: a white-label site on your domain with a 4-click booking flow; direct bookings, including their payments, are pushed into your PMS per its Guesty listing. The payment processor itself is not documented.
Runs on its own from an Airbnb listing, or on top of any PMS: native connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, Track, Hostex and Uplisting; every other PMS through Haven’s direct Airbnb integration.
Requires a PMS — its site shows Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Smoobu, OwnerRez, RentalWise, Hostify, Direct, BookingSync, Avantio, Beds24 and Cloudbeds; no standalone mode is documented.
Self-serve by design: Haven generates a branded site in minutes from your Airbnb listing or PMS, and the Haven Assistant makes changes from a sentence. No agency team or project fee; Haven’s team installs the booking widget on an existing site free of charge.
One or two onboarding calls of 30–60 minutes and a dedicated customer success manager by WhatsApp, Slack or email; the site is generated from your PMS data with custom branding, not designed from mockups.
Build it yourself with no code, live in minutes from an Airbnb or PMS import; free to build before publishing.
A genuine strength: live “within 24 hours” of connecting a PMS, with a 15-day trial before the per-listing subscription starts.
Your domain, your content, your guest list and your booking data; the site runs on Haven and exports as CSV, with nothing to buy back when you leave.
A white-label site on your own domain; what a customer keeps or exports on leaving — SEO pages, guest records, review data — is not documented.
Hosting, SSL, updates and support are part of every plan; nothing extra to run the site.
Hosted as part of the per-listing subscription, with a dedicated customer success manager by WhatsApp, Slack or email; no SLA documented.
Keep your current site and embed Haven’s booking widget (a script and one div, works in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or React), blog widget, or group site search widget; guest portals, CRM, screening, upsells, and taxes all work alongside it.
Replaces the site: a white-label site generated from your PMS on your domain; a booking widget for embedding in an existing site is not documented.
No per-booking commission and no guest service fee on any plan (standard Stripe fees apply).
No performance fee on the Fixed plan at $8.90 per listing a month; a 2% performance fee on the Hybrid plan, on a base its site does not state. The PMS’s and payment processor’s own fees apply on both.
Search answers come from the calendar and rates you sync, checked against your own rules, and the total on the card is the total at checkout. Prices are never shown without dates.
Availability and rates sync from the PMS; when dates are taken the site suggests alternative listings, and amenity filters and interactive maps narrow the search.
Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, Hostaway, Track, Hostex, Uplisting, Host Tools, iGMS, Smoobu, Beds24, and Elina. Any other PMS — Avantio, Octorate, AvaiBook, Hosthub, Zeevou, Hostify, Smily (BookingSync), Resly, Homhero, ResNexus, Little Hotelier, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, Streamline, Escapia, CiiRUS, and essentially every Airbnb-connected system — syncs listing content, photos, prices, availability, and reservations through Haven’s direct Airbnb integration: the same data the PMS already publishes there. The only via-Airbnb difference: Haven bookings and manual blocks close dates via the Haven iCal feed added in the PMS, not a reservation-write API. ResNexus, Little Hotelier and SiteMinder import no calendar feeds, so a Haven booking is recorded there by hand instead.
A genuine strength: thirteen PMS logos — Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Smoobu, OwnerRez, RentalWise, Hostify, Direct, BookingSync, Avantio, Beds24 and Cloudbeds — with bookings and payments pushed into the PMS, documented for Guesty. iCal is not documented, and the site does not run without a PMS.
Beautiful, design-forward branded pages built to convert — no theme picker. It just works.
Custom branding on a generated white-label layout; a design canvas, theme choice, or editable pages beyond its SEO pages are not documented.
Guest portals with a built-in digital guidebook capture the booker’s and co-guests’ emails into Haven’s guest CRM with smart remarketing — local-event, gap-night, price-drop, and listing-updated campaigns.
No guest CRM, email capture, guest portal, guidebook, or automated gap-night, price-drop or local-event campaigns documented; the guest relationship stays in your PMS.

Not documented; handled by your PMS or third parties.

Not documented; taxes and fees come with the PMS quote.

No upsell product documented; what a site can sell beyond the stay depends on the PMS behind it.
Turnover cleans and upsell jobs become tasks automatically, offered to your own cleaners and chefs by SMS, WhatsApp, or email — Y/N/DONE replies, a no-login job page, photo proof, backup escalation, and Stripe payouts.
Not documented.
Per-stay door codes and climate automation from the booking, with the code delivered through the guest portal.
Not documented.
One grounded assistant on every property site, group site, guest portal, and custom domain (private stay details only after booking). Every reply graded, gaps grouped into insights with cited chats, one-click Add context fixes it across all sites; hosts train it by chatting with their own sites.
Not documented; the AI on its site is a Google Review AI Agent at $0.50 per review and review sentiment analysis, not a guest-facing chat.
Opt-in loyalty points on every direct booking, spendable at any of your listings and applied automatically at checkout; four automatic rewards emails (points ready, reminder, expiring soon, last call) with the bookings they bring back; optional inactivity expiry with guest protections; and one program across teammates’ or agency clients’ listings, funded so their payouts stay whole. Included on every plan.
No guest loyalty program documented.
A 100-point SEO and AI-search score for every site with a checklist sorted by points gained, live Google Search Console and Bing data, weekly checks that the crawlers behind Google, Bing and Copilot, ChatGPT search, Claude, and Perplexity can read the page, a site llms.txt, IndexNow, image and Vacation Rentals sitemaps, Foursquare listings, and visits from AI assistants tracked as their own channel.
SEO pages are part of the site; no scorecard, Search Console or Bing data, AI-crawler checks or AI-assistant traffic reporting documented.
Haven is software, not a retainer: the SEO and AI-search scorecard, Blog Autopilot, One Click Ads, AI reels, and CRM remarketing run from your dashboard; there is no account manager running campaigns for you.
Not offered; the only add-on service listed is the Google Review AI Agent at $0.50 per review.
A blog on every site, plus Blog Autopilot: on a weekly to monthly schedule Haven runs a real research pass — the queries people search about your area, the pages that rank and what they miss — reads the organiser, park, venue, and tourism-board pages it will cite, writes only from those verified facts and your listing, has an editor check every claim, and drafts the post for your review or publishes it with a Sources list, sitemap entry, and IndexNow ping. Keeping your own website? Embed the same blog with a two-line widget.
A blog is not documented; SEO pages are the only content feature listed.
AI social reels built from your own listing photos, clips and guest reviews, with a storyboard you approve before anything is spent; narrated property stories read by natural ElevenLabs voices; and custom one-minute instrumental soundtracks composed from the property’s photos, likely guests, location and brand.

A genuine strength on collection: a Google Review AI Agent asks guests for Google reviews at $0.50 per review, with review sentiment analysis; importing reviews from Airbnb, Vrbo or a file onto the site is not documented.
Haven Communities: shared regional pages that list member stays and exchange reciprocal backlinks with your site.
A cross-PMS network lets managers sell each other’s units; shared regional pages or a backlink exchange are not documented.
Haven Communities list member stays on shared regional pages and send travelers to each host’s own site; Haven does not sell another manager’s units through your checkout.

Not documented; rates are set in your PMS.
The Haven Assistant, pinned to every page of your dashboard, changes your sites and settings from a plain-language request — pages, copy, design, photos, domains, listings, rates and calendar, upsells, guest CRM and remarketing, and email settings — and you approve each change before it ships; for anything it does not change directly, it walks you there step by step. Or connect ChatGPT or Claude through Haven’s MCP server and work from there.
Not documented.
An open search API and an MCP server that lets ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP client read your listings, calendar, rates, bookings, and guest conversations — and, if you allow it, make changes — with a consent screen, role limits, and two-step confirmation for anything that moves money.
An API and webhooks are advertised; what they expose is not documented.
Haven’s phone web app — bookwithhaven.com on a phone, added to the home screen, with nothing to install from an app store — runs the same plain-language stay search on the same API as bookwithhaven.com/stays.
Not documented.
Free to be listed and free to build your site for as long as you like; pay only when you publish or accept a booking request. Plan prices are published on the pricing page.

A dated, public Capterra rating shown under the hero of this page, published plan prices, and a help center that documents every feature claimed here.
Six testimonials on its site and a vendor-reported 12-month pilot with 100 managers (“7 million guests analyzed”, “+28% direct bookings”, “+400% conversion”), all self-reported; no Capterra or G2 rating found, and no company location or team stated, as of November 2026.
A free Document Builder turns each listing into a printable House Manual (cover, welcome note, house rules, local guide with QR codes, in-stay store), QR cards, rebooking signs, and business cards — the manual also appears as a tile in the guest portal — and you can order branded business cards, cards, and signs professionally printed and shipped.
Printable QR cards, rebooking signs, welcome books or business cards generated from the listing are not documented, as of November 2026.
The same grounded assistant answers guests who booked on Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com inside their booking thread, through your connected PMS (Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, Track, Hostex, Uplisting, Smoobu, Beds24, or Hostaway), in the guest’s language, usually within a minute. Per PMS you pick Draft for approval or Send automatically; refunds, date changes, discounts, damage, and anything broken are handed to you without a reply; every exchange is graded under Analytics → Chats, you teach it from what it missed, and it writes in your voice and learns from the drafts you edit.
Not documented; guest messaging stays in the PMS, as of November 2026.
Plan your stay opens before checkout: guests drag your experiences and add-ons onto the days of their trip, pick a slot or request a time, or tap Plan my stay and AI lays the trip out from your catalog with a reason per item — never inventing an offer, price, or time. The plan carries into checkout, the reservation, and the guest portal, and a returning guest opens it with your gift already on it.
A guest-side planner that places experiences and add-ons on the days of the stay before checkout is not documented, as of November 2026.
A deposit at checkout (20%, 30%, 50%, or any percent) and up to five later payments charged to the same card on the days you set before check-in; guests see “Pay 25% now, the rest later” before checkout and can pay in full instead; a declined card gets a pay-now link, a late payment flags or cancels the booking under your rule, and every notice is an automation you can reword or switch off. Or collect payments yourself by Zelle, Venmo, or bank transfer with Haven sending each request.
Payments are pushed into the PMS, so any schedule depends on the PMS behind the site, not on Maveriks, as of November 2026.
A guest journey per channel under Communication → Message automations — booking, pre-arrival (agreement, ID, door code), check-in, checkout, and post-stay messages by email, text, and WhatsApp, with steps you add and a visual automation editor — plus an inbox with a Needs-you filter and saved replies, guest chats by text and WhatsApp, and account-wide switches that show exactly what sends and when.
Not documented; guest messaging stays in the PMS behind the site, as of November 2026.
Tasks → History keeps every finished clean on every listing for good. Search notes, steps and problem reports; filter by listing, cleaner and dates; browse every photo in one grid; download full size or each clean as a zip with a timestamped manifest for an insurance or damage claim.
A searchable per-property history of every finished clean, with photos downloadable for a damage or insurance claim, is not documented, as of November 2026.
Paste an Airbnb, Vrbo, Evolve, or direct-site listing URL and Haven imports the title, photos, amenities, reviews, and starting price; paste a guidebook link (Touch Stay, BetterSTR, Everhost, an Airbnb guidebook, or a PDF) and Haven proposes the same sections; import your existing website, and your contacts from Mailchimp or a CSV. You review each item before it is saved, and your PMS or Airbnb connection keeps calendars and reservations in sync.
Listing content comes from the connected PMS, live within 24 hours; a self-serve importer for a website, guidebook or contact list is not documented, as of November 2026.
Choose Haven if…
- You want to be found by travelers — in AI guest search, in the Haven app, and by ChatGPT and Claude — without a per-listing fee, a performance fee, or a PMS, and to pay only when a guest actually books.
- You want the booking site, checkout, and 0% commission in the same place, on a published flat plan with no 2% on an undefined base.
- You want a guest CRM with smart remarketing, guest portals with a digital guidebook, screening with damage protection, rental agreements, deposits, and taxes built in — not left in the PMS.
- You want to sell your own experiences and add-ons with 0% commission, and have the clean or the chef dinner dispatched and paid automatically.
- You want an SEO and AI-search scorecard that tells you the next step, Blog Autopilot, AI reels, One Click Ads on Google and ChatGPT, and session replay — included, not absent.
- You want pages in up to 5 languages with per-language URLs and hreflang, from a platform that publishes its location, its team, and its help center.
- You want proof you can check: a dated public Capterra rating and documented features, not a self-reported pilot.

- You run one of Maveriks’ thirteen PMSs, want direct bookings and their payments pushed straight into it, and want a white-label site live within 24 hours.
- You want the lowest per-listing price among PMS-synced builders — $8.90 per listing a month with no performance fee — or the Hybrid plan at $5 per listing a month plus 2% once a booking lands.
- You want to sell other managers’ units from your site through a cross-PMS network.
- You want onboarding calls and a dedicated customer success manager on WhatsApp or Slack, and do not need guest tools after the booking.
