Why hotels choose Staylight instead
Self-serve, not project-based. RevPARGenius reads like a consulting engagement — an analysis delivered, a website rebuilt from roughly AUD $9,000 plus a retainer. Staylight is a tiered subscription you sign up for and log into, starting at $79/mo.
Weekly automated scans, not a one-off analysis. There's no public evidence RevPARGenius runs recurring, automated scans against a query panel. Staylight scans five AI engines on a schedule, every week or month depending on tier, with no manual project cycle in between.
A tier ladder that scales with you. From a monthly check on 2 engines to a full weekly sweep across all 5, Staylight has a plan sized to the hotel, not a custom quote per engagement.
Common ground worth naming: RevPARGenius's own published research found 94.3% of hotel sites invisible to AI search — pointing at the exact problem Staylight measures. We just measure it as a running dashboard instead of a delivered report.
No — that figure comes from RevPARGenius's own published research. We reference it because it's a real, findable data point that frames the same problem Staylight is built to solve, not a Staylight claim.
