Calendar-aware pricing for medium-term rentals

A 29-night booking can consume 47 nights of your calendar.

Price the Gap adds a calendar-aware second pass to your PriceLabs prices. It recognizes the nights a booking would make impossible to sell—and adjusts the quote before those nights are stranded.

The calendar math

A booking has two footprints.

The guest footprint is the nights they stay. The calendar footprint also includes nights their booking leaves too short to sell.

Scenario AClean fit

29 stayed + 0 stranded = 29 consumed

Scenario BBad fit

29 stayed + 18 stranded = 47 consumed

Same stay length. Very different cost to your calendar.

A focused second pass

PriceLabs prices demand.
Price the Gap prices calendar fit.

PriceLabs remains your pricing engine. Price the Gap adds one narrow calculation for medium-term calendars: what will this date combination do to the nights around it?

Better-fitting stays are favored. A stay that would create an expensive sub-minimum gap can be repriced—or intentionally deterred—before the guest books it.

How it works

Protect the calendar automatically.

  1. 01

    Read the real calendar

    Start with your PriceLabs prices, availability, and existing booking boundaries.

  2. 02

    Measure the full footprint

    Detect when a valid stay would leave another block shorter than your minimum stay.

  3. 03

    Price the impact

    Favor better-fitting stays so costly gaps are either avoided or reflected in the quote.

  4. 04

    Keep it current

    Recalculate as PriceLabs prices and reservations change, because tomorrow's answer may differ.

Price the Gap does not create, cancel, or move reservations. It only changes pricing for the dates it protects.

Deliberately narrow

For calendars worth protecting.

This is not an occupancy tool for empty calendars. It protects valuable space on calendars that already book.

Likely a good fit

  • Your listing has a roughly monthly minimum stay.
  • Your calendar books often enough that preserving the next booking matters.
  • A poorly placed stay can strand days that become impossible to sell.
  • PriceLabs is your pricing source of truth.

Probably not useful yet

  • Demand is sparse and almost any booking is better than waiting.
  • You run short-term stays with flexible one- or two-night gaps.
  • You prefer not to vary pricing based on how a stay fits between bookings.
  • You frequently edit the automated listing's daily prices by hand.

Trust before automation

See it before it changes anything.

The free scan first shows calendar shape using availability dates alone. A pilot preview then adds live PriceLabs prices and shows the resulting quote changes. Automation starts only after the behavior makes sense on your own listing.

  • PriceLabs remains the baseline pricing engine.
  • Every managed change is attributable and reversible.
  • Unexpected manual changes stop the write instead of being overwritten.
  • Removing Price the Gap's overrides returns those dates to PriceLabs control.
Why might individual nightly prices look unusual?

Airbnb derives the accommodation price from daily prices, then applies the listing's discounts and platform adjustments. Because the calendar risk exists at the whole-stay level, Price the Gap uses reversible daily overrides to encode the intended pre-discount stay total.

The preview exposes the daily pattern and validates every eligible stay window. One nightly price may look unusual; the full pre-discount stay total is the result the model controls.
