The tools behind every property.
Every CohostIQ account runs on the same core: accounting, PMS sync, maintenance, and reporting. From there, switch on the modules you need, cleaning operations, AI guest messaging, a unified inbox, upsells, and a branded guest portal.
Start with the core. Add what you need.
Every account includes accounting, reservation sync, maintenance, and reporting. Optional modules connect cleaning, owner access, and guest services to those same records.
Accounting & Owner Billing
Owner statements, per-property fee rules, cohost payout math, and two-way QuickBooks sync. The numbers foot to the penny, the same way, every month.
PMS Sync
Reservations and properties sync from Hospitable automatically. Smart lock control and thermostat monitoring come along, included when you connect Hospitable.
Maintenance
Track every appliance with warranty dates and repair history, spot repeat offenders, auto-create tickets from guest issues and low lock batteries, and dispatch to a field-ready mobile app.
Reporting
Year-over-year revenue, occupancy, expenses, ADR, and cleaning P&L, with date filters and CSV or PDF export.
Cleaning Operations
In-house cleaner scheduling, conditional checklists, crews, a mobile app, payroll, supply-level reporting, and linens.
AI Guest Messaging Beta
CIQ Concierge drafts or auto-sends guest replies grounded in your real property data, and never invents details.
InboxIQ Unified Inbox Beta
Every guest conversation across channels in one installable app, with tickets, presence, and a property calendar.
Upsells & Guest Portal
Sell early check-in, mid-stay cleans, and local experiences, and give guests a branded stay portal with live chat.
The core is priced per property. Add-on modules are optional and priced separately, talk to us about turning one on.
CohostIQ vs. The Tools You Already Use
We're not a PMS replacement. On the cleaning side, we do everything Turno does except run their marketplace, and we add the billing tie-in nobody else has. We're the layer that connects your operations to your owner billing so nothing gets dropped between systems.
Comparison reflects core product surface area. Many of these tools integrate with CohostIQ rather than competing with it.
The Part That Has to Be Right Every Month
Accounting, PMS sync, maintenance, and reporting. This is the foundation every CohostIQ account runs on, and every module feeds back into it.
PMS Sync Core
CohostIQ connects to your existing PMS like Hospitable. We pull in reservation and property data, then add the billing, reporting, cleaning, and team management your PMS doesn't cover. You keep using your PMS for guests, channels, and messaging, and if your smart locks and thermostats are connected to Hospitable, CohostIQ sees them too.
- OAuth connection to Hospitable, with more PMS platforms on the way
- Automatic reservation sync for accurate billing calculations
- Editable check-in and check-out times that push back to your PMS
- Smart lock control with battery alerts and per-lock problem tracking, included on Hospitable
- Auto-created maintenance tickets for low lock batteries
- Auto-created urgent tickets from guest issues reported in Hospitable
- Thermostat monitoring that flags likely thermostat or AC problems: high humidity, a fan left on in a vacant home, or temperature drifting past the setpoint
- Vacant homes re-lock themselves; every unlock is logged
- Single source of truth for financial and operational data
Accounting & Owner Statements Core

Every Airbnb Payout Method, Handled Core
Airbnb keeps changing how payouts work, and every owner seems to be on a different method. CohostIQ handles all of them. The fee math is right whether your owners are on cohost payouts, host-only fees, or split payouts, with no manual workarounds.
- Cohost Payouts: Airbnb pays you directly, then you pay your owner their share
- Host-Only Fees: Airbnb pays the owner, and your management fee is deducted automatically
- Split Payouts: Airbnb splits the payout between you and the owner based on your agreement
- Different owners can be on different methods, and our calculations are correct for each
- Per-property payout rules so different owners can be on different methods
- Accurate fee calculations regardless of which method each property uses
Two-Way QuickBooks Sync Core
Keep your books in sync without double entry. CohostIQ connects directly to QuickBooks so owner statements, expenses, credits, and payouts flow automatically into your accounting, and changes reconcile both directions. Saves hours every month and keeps the financials accurate.
- Automatically sync owner statements and invoices to QuickBooks
