A Touch Stay alternative that's honest about price.
Touch Stay is a well-known digital guidebook with an AI writer and chatbot. If you'd rather have deeper, tasteful design, a no-card trial and pricing from £9.99/mo that pauses with your season, StayBinder is worth a look.
The short answer
Yes, if you value tasteful design and an honest price over a built-in AI writer. StayBinder is £9.99 a month for your first property, then £4.99 for each extra, pauses with your season and starts on a 14-day no-card trial. Touch Stay has the AI chatbot; StayBinder adds review routing, a UK bin-day schedule and seven-language guides.

Why hosts move
Design depth, without the design fee
Both tools answer the same guest questions. The difference is how the guide feels, and what it costs to keep going.
- A guard-railed studio: your photos, words, colours, fonts and layout, always tasteful.
- £9.99 a month for your first property, then £4.99 for each extra, with no card to start the 14-day trial.
- Pause a property for the off-season and its charge pauses too, no annual lock-in.
- Review routing sends happy guests public and unhappy guests to you, privately, first.
