Example of a rate change alert
What operators say
Independent hotels and guest houses using RateScan
“The 6-month forward view is the feature I didn't know I needed. Seeing what the Premier Inn charges in 6 months helped me price a corporate contract properly.”
James T.
Manager, 28-room hotel, Edinburgh
“£9 a month was a no-brainer. Within a week a competitor dropped their rate and we adjusted before we lost bookings.”
Priya K.
Owner, boutique B&B, Cornwall
“The alerts are clear and timely. We stopped underpricing busy weekends and our direct bookings improved within the first month.”
Mark L.
General Manager, city-centre hotel, Manchester
Common questions
Quick answers before you sign up
-
RateScan sources live pricing via Google Hotels, which aggregates rates from all major booking channels — Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Tripadvisor, lastminute.com and more. This is the same data your guests see when they compare hotels on Google.
-
No. Google's native tracker is designed for travellers — it tracks a destination, not a specific property, and doesn't let operators monitor competitors. RateScan is purpose-built for hotel operators.
-
Those are enterprise platforms built for chain hotels with dedicated revenue managers, costing thousands per year. RateScan does one thing extremely well at a fraction of the cost — alerting you when a competitor's rate moves past your threshold.
-
No. RateScan is completely standalone. Nothing to connect, no technical setup, no IT involvement. Sign up and you're done.
-
Our database is powered directly from Google Hotels. If a property doesn't appear, it likely has no Google Hotels listing. Please contact us if you believe it to be missing.
-
Yes. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings and you retain access until end of billing period.
