Host Shortlist

About

How the Finder decides

It uses your five answers, the prices and features the sellers publish, and a short set of rules. It picks the plan that does the job you chose, fits your listing count and channels, and suits your budget and patience for setup. Commission is not an input. Links marked "paid link" earn us a fee if you sign up; so far only Hospitable has one.

What isn't assessed

Beds24, Hosthub, Hostex and Beyond are not assessed yet. Where a seller doesn't publish a price, the Finder says so rather than guessing.

How the facts were gathered

With AI help, from the sellers' own pages on Nov 6, 2026. A person checks them. Third-party price figures disagree, so they are not used as fact. What hosts say on Reddit is labeled as that and never changes the Finder's ranking; a known problem can appear as a warning beside a result.
