The published facts, in plain English
Conduit is AI agent platform (voice + chat). It lists its pricing as $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice). There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest feature match with real voice AI; $649 floor is 65x our Pro.
Who it’s for
Conduit is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in New York City.
Our take
We list Conduit’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Conduit shows $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
What the record says about fit
Conduit files under AI agent platform (voice + chat); the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. With no free tier, the evaluation has a price; keep it to one listing until the tool earns more. Published pricing of $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Conduit’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: BnBGenius Tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Conduit beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Conduit cost?
$649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice).
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run Conduit?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What to pin down with Conduit
- “Is $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Proper Insurance — Not published (quote); annual policy.
- RueBaRue — Not published; ~$5–$10/property/mo (3rd-party).
- PointCentral — Not published (quote).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see Airbnb management fees for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
