Why our launch pricing is so low
StayNear is new, and we believe early partners shouldn't take a big financial risk while we build regional traffic, SEO pages, attraction guides, event pages, and owner analytics.
The 6-month launch rate is intentionally discounted because we're building this with owners — not extracting from them.
This is not a commission model. This is not a guest-fee model. This is not a percentage-of-revenue model. It's simple launch-term or annual visibility built around the places guests already want to visit.
One good booking can cover your annual listing.
