Who it’s for
This service might suit property owners who prefer a per-booking fee structure and don't mind a partial PMS integration. It's designed for those who want both guest screening and damage protection bundled together.
Our take
Truvi's pricing structure of $12.60–$28.75 per booking, with no subscription option, means costs can accumulate rapidly with frequent short stays. While it combines screening and payout, this model may not be cost-effective for owners with high turnover. They do not publish information on their market or listing counts, but their size is considered mid-tier.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Truvi lists Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Truvi offers a unified screening and protection service without a subscription, but its per-booking fees can be high for short stays. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

What we would ask Truvi
- “Is Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
