The short answer

BNBCalc underwrites any address, in the US or abroad, across four deal types, and starts at $30 a month after a seven-day trial.
BNBCalc vs Mashvisor at a glance
Both calculators do the financed math. The differences are scope, comps and how you pay.
| Investor task | BNBCalc | Mashvisor |
|---|---|---|
| Data and coverage | 10M+ Airbnb and Vrbo listings across 2,300+ markets worldwide. | US markets, plus short-term rental data for 13 other countries in a 2024 help article. The calculator page names Airbnb as its source. |
| Market stats and trends | Revenue, occupancy, ADR, gross yield, seasonality, and 3+ years of trends. | Market Finder and neighborhood heatmaps for US markets, scored with the Mashmeter. Heatmaps aren't on the Lite plan. |
| Comps and operator intelligence | Cleaner comp sets from 10M+ Airbnb and Vrbo listings and three years of history reduce outliers. Spy on competitors and see top hosts, property-manager revenue, and per-property stats. | Short-term and long-term rental comps with 12-month charts. Lite has no rental comps, and Standard adds 10 Excel exports a month. |
| Revenue-boosting amenities | The amenities that actually lift revenue for listings like yours. | Mashvisor's product, pricing and calculator pages don't describe an analysis of which amenities lift revenue. |
| Complete underwriting | Yes. Cleaning fees, local taxes, financing, cash flow, and returns. No spreadsheet. | Yes: cash or mortgage, down payment, interest rate, expenses, cash flow, cap rate and cash on cash. Expense editing isn't on Lite. |
| Works on your phone? | Yes. Full research and underwriting on mobile, plus reports that read well on any screen. | Runs in the browser. Mashvisor doesn't list a mobile app. |
| Free trial | Everything, free for 7 days. | No free trial on the investor plans, and payments are generally non-refundable. A free calculator entry point exists. |

Why investors switch from Mashvisor
Any address, four deal types
Underwrite a purchase, an arbitrage lease, a property you already own or a cohosting deal, for an address in the US or abroad, from up to 50 comparable listings.
Comps you can check
In the US, BNBCalc's AI Underwriter picks the comps and shows which listings it kept and which it set aside, so you can see why the estimate landed where it did.
Built for the phone
Find a property on your phone and run the full underwrite right there: comps, financing, cash flow and returns, then share the report.
Month to month, or free for a week
Calculator is $30 a month and Markets is $79, and everything is free for seven days. Mashvisor's investor plans start with a quarter or a year paid up front.
BNBCalc doesn't search homes for sale, so you bring the address you're weighing, from any listing site.
Market research built around the buying decision
Worldwide rankings, 10M+ Airbnb and Vrbo listings, and three years of history—blended to reduce outliers—take investors from discovery to a defensible underwrite.
