Why Own vs List on VRBO

Keep Your Guests and Your Data, Not Pay a Commission

On VRBO, you pay fees on bookings and the marketplace owns the guest relationship. Running your own platform keeps the commission and the customer data yours.

Listing on VRBO

  • Commission and booking fees per stay
  • Guest relationship belongs to VRBO
  • Owners compete in a giant global pool
  • Limited control over ranking and rules

Your Own Platform (BistroStays)

  • Keep the full commission
  • Owners, guests and data are yours
  • You set the rules for your market
  • One-time licence + low running cost

Dan Otieno
Dan OtienoFounder

I searched online when I was looking for a company to help me realise my startup dream, and that is when I came across NCrypted Technologies. I explained to them what I had in mind and what I intended to achieve, and they did not waste time getting back to me.

Danny MookaFounder and CEO

Professionalism and transparency. While the work is ongoing, NCrypted Technologies enabled us to do a soft launch of our mobile app. The team's outcome received incredible feedback from external stakeholders, as evident in the massive downloads and sign-ups.

NCrypted has helped our little nonprofit develop a powerful website, Treatment Scout, to help people find and review treatment clinics for mental health and addiction. I have been amazed by their ability to bring this complex and important project to life under our very lean budget.
Matt Kuntz
Executive Director, NAMI Montana, USA
Very professional team and always ready to help. NCrypted Technologies delivered two spectacular products that attract more users, helping the client's business grow their audience. The project was executed smoothly.

You decide. You control commission and fee rules, so you choose what guests pay and what you keep.

Yes. With the Enterprise source licence you own the entire codebase and can run and customise it on your own stack.
