Software vs agency

Hotel marketing agency alternative

Many hotel marketing agencies charge a monthly retainer and sometimes a percentage of ad spend. GuestBrain is a real alternative: it uses AI to run Google Ads and Meta Ads management, email marketing and CRM for a flat monthly fee with a fixed price, with no percentage of ad spend.

Clear cost

A flat per-hotel fee that drops as you add properties, with onboarding included. Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta and GuestBrain takes no percentage of it.

Continuous optimization

Instead of periodic reviews, AI continuously optimizes your campaigns toward the real cost per direct booking.

Transparency and data ownership

You see which campaign or email drove each booking. The CRM, contacts and history stay in your platform, not in a third party's account.

Business impact

Built for measurable organic and direct growth
