The published facts, in plain English
Conduit is AI agent platform (voice + chat). On cost, the published figure is $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice). There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Closest feature match with real voice AI; $649 floor is 65x our Pro.
Who it’s for
Conduit is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Pennsylvania.
Our take
We list Conduit’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Conduit lists $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice), while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Reading the record
Conduit files under AI agent platform (voice + chat); the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. Test path: one paid month, one listing, one honest verdict. On cost, the published $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Conduit genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read Conduit’s model with your exact count in mind.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius Tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Conduit beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Conduit cost?

Questions to put to Conduit
- “Is $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice) per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Nowistay — €12/property/mo; 1 mo free.
- StayFi — $19/mo software + hardware $99–$303/unit.
- Guesty — From $9/listing/mo; Pro/Ent custom.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see a managed option for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
