Booking Platforms Show Revenue.
Not Profit.

Whether you host on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or take direct bookings — your platform shows what guests paid. Not what landed in your pocket after cleaners, utilities, software, supplies, and taxes.

Hidden Expenses

The average host underestimates expenses by $4,200/year. Cleaning fees, maintenance, supplies, mortgage — they add up fast and no booking platform tracks them for you.

Tax Season Chaos

Hosts spend 12+ hours scrambling for receipts and spreadsheets every April. Schedule E shouldn't take a weekend.

No Real Visibility

You know what you earned. But do you know what you actually kept? Most hosts can't answer that — and it's costing them thousands.

Owner Statements (PM tier)

For property managers: generate monthly owner statements with commission, expense breakdowns, and pro-rata splits for shared utilities. Owners get a portal to view their statements securely.

Multi-Unit Properties

Duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings: track each unit independently while sharing utilities. Per-unit P&L, per-unit bookings, automatic pro-rata expense splits.

You're probably comparing us to
Stessa or Hostaway.

Honest answer: it depends on what you're trying to do.

Stessa

Solo long-term-rental hosts

Great for SFR landlords doing basic books. STR features (Airbnb categorization, Schedule E, occupancy) are a bolt-on. Free tier is ad-supported. No PM tier.

Hostaway

PMS — channel management

Real platform for managing multiple listings across channels. Finance and Schedule E are checkbox features — not the focus. No free tier.

Black Cat

STR financials, correct

Multi-platform bookings unified. Bank sync deduplicated against CSV. Per-property Schedule E. Full PM tier with owner statements + per-owner tax PDFs. Free for 1 property.

Comparisons reflect Stessa and Hostaway's public features as of June 2026. If you're using either and we got something wrong, email support@tryblackcat.com — we'll fix it.

For Property Managers Talk to us

Managing properties for other people?

Running a property management company means spending hours each month compiling owner statements in spreadsheets, tracking commission splits manually, and emailing PDFs to each owner separately. Property Management tier automates the whole stack: per-owner statements with commission + pass-through expenses, secure owner portal where each owner sees only their own properties (never yours, never other owners'), per-owner Schedule E reports at tax time, and team-member accounts so your staff can operate the dashboard without seeing company financials.

  • Owner statements with commission breakdown, expense pass-through, and pro-rata splits for shared utilities on multi-unit properties
  • Owner portal — each owner logs in 24/7 to view their statements + pull their own Schedule E PDF at tax time. Strict isolation: they see only their own properties, never your company books or other owners' data.
  • Team members — multiple staff accounts under your organization with role-based access
  • Everything in Business tier (unlimited properties, API, white-label reports, advanced cleaner ops)

Starting at $299/mo. Pricing depends on owner count + team size. We'll quote you on a 15-min call — no commitment.

You're trusting us with your
money data. Here's the deal.

No vague reassurances. Specific mechanisms.

Plaid Bank connection

Your bank password never touches our servers.

Plaid handles the bank login — the same connection layer Venmo, Robinhood, and your bank's own mobile app use. We only receive the transaction data Plaid shares back. Disconnect any bank in one click from Settings, which immediately revokes our access.

Stripe Payments

We don't see or store your card number.

Subscriptions are billed through Stripe. We receive a subscription status and the last four digits of your card — nothing more. Manage or cancel any time through your Stripe customer portal (linked from Settings), no support email required.

Your data

Yours to export. Yours to delete. Yours, full stop.

Export every transaction to CSV from Tax & Reports. Delete your entire account from Settings → Danger Zone — no support ticket, no waiting. We don't sell your data, we don't share it for advertising, and AI features only process your data when you ask them to.
