Question 1

Why Colorado-specific and not a general PMS?

Accepted Answer

A generalized PMS flattens town-by-town rulesets into the calendar average. Colorado's regulatory surface IS the product: Breckenridge's STR-license cap, Aspen's 2023 permit-cap framework and live/work requirement, Vail's recurring fire-inspection cycle, and Telluride's closed cap. We won't ship a town until its full rulebook is encoded. See compare, pricing, or the home.

Question 2

How do municipal filings and licenses actually work — every town is different?

Accepted Answer

Each of our 14 jurisdictions has its own cadence, exemption logic, and certificate. The compliance ledger tracks every permit, filing, and deadline; a settable ruleset per property gates what your messaging and dispatch agents are allowed to book or schedule. Track it in the dashboard; see how it plays out in Breckenridge, Aspen, and Vail.

Question 3

Which PMS platforms and channel managers do you integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Native channels: Airbnb, Vrbo, Direct. PMS connectors: Hospitable, Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, OwnerRez, Smoobu, GuestLink, and iGMS — auth via OAuth or a scoped API key on read-only terms. We never edit your listings or write rates back without explicit approval. Compare the connectors on the comparison page or start from the home.

Question 4

How is pricing really structured — is it truly per-property-per-month?

Accepted Answer

Yes — flat per-property, per-month, billed monthly, no per-booking cut, no revenue share, no per-message metering, no setup charge for the first town onboarded. Three tiers keyed to portfolio size (Solo, Portfolio, Operator); the per-property rate decreases as you grow. Full breakdown on pricing, or overview from home.

Question 5

What does Alpcret actually replace — do I still need a property manager?

Accepted Answer

The four agents bundle repricing, guest messaging, 90-minute turnover dispatch, and municipal filings — the four surfaces a property manager coordinates at 25–30% of revenue plus mark-ups on cleanings. Most Colorado self-managed hosts retire their property manager after onboarding; some keep one for local touch and use Alpcret for the always-on shifts. Pricing detail, comparison matrix, overview.
