Pricing Engine

The only model that optimizes for revenue.

Dynamic pricing ≠ optimized pricing. Quibble comps like-kind units instead of nudging an arbitrary base price — solving directly for the rate the market will actually pay, every night.

Pricing Engine — the real Quibble app

Solves for revenue

Not a base price with rules — a model that searches for the rate that maximizes revenue on each night.

Like-kind comps

Prices against units genuinely similar to yours, not a regional average.

1.3× average uplift

Versus 1.1× for base-price tools and 1.0× for manual.

A comp set you can actually read

The engine builds a comp set of genuinely similar units — not studios five miles inland — grades it for trading, confidence, fit, and depth, and shows you every unit in it. When your rate moves, you can see exactly why.

Comp Model tab: comp set grade with potential replacements

Past dynamic, into optimized

Reacting to demand is table stakes. Quibble reads how your comps price into events, how fast they discount, where they hold — and solves for the rate the market will pay on every night. Small, consistent gains compound across a portfolio and a season.

Engine-set prices across the whole portfolio

Warm up silently, go live with confidence

Silent mode runs the full engine without touching your channels, so you can watch it price before you hand it the keys. Set a target, keep your floors and ceilings — the engine respects every guardrail.

How the model works

Seven parts, in the order the model uses them.

1

Expected revenue = price × booking probability

Dynamic pricing changes price over time by rules and signals such as season, day of week, lead time, and occupancy. Revenue management goes a step further: for each night it sets the price where expected revenue, the price times the probability the night books at that price, is highest. The price is the output of the optimization. Base-price tools multiply one reference price by adjustments; they do not estimate where each night’s revenue-maximizing price is.

2

A discrete choice model

The method is discrete choice (multinomial logit), developed largely by Daniel McFadden, who shared the 2000 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for theory and methods for analyzing discrete choice. The science is in estimating booking probability accurately. Once the probability is known, choosing the price is arithmetic.

3

Comp sets matched the way a guest compares

Quibble matches comps the way a guest would compare them: it looks within a radius starting at 10 km, takes same-bedroom listings first and backfills, keeps listings within a 75–200% rate band, and scores candidates on bedrooms, rate and distance. About 30 are attached to each listing, and for each night the 10 best matches that are still available go into the model, because shoppers screen down to a small consideration set of about 10 rather than weighing hundreds. Comp rates are all-in, fees included, and are compared with the guest-facing price. On the Comp Model tab you can replace a comp only when it is flagged Needs revision: Quibble offers up to 5 candidates and the replacement reprices on the next nightly run. Adding a listing by URL is a read-only inquiry that shows how it compares without adding it to the set. Comp Model → Simulator shows your share of a night, the best comps, and what-ifs.

4

Thin data: predict the set, then split it

When one listing has thin data, Quibble predicts total demand across the small comp set and splits it by choice probability: expected bookings = set demand × your choice probability.

5

Bookable Search™ sets seasonality

Bookable Search™ counts only searches that ended in a purchase: your listing appeared in the search and the shopper booked something very similar. Predicted bookings across the comp set set the seasons. Revenue managers do not hand-pick them.

6

Market share is a probability

Market share is the probability that the next qualified shopper, someone who will book something in the set, picks your listing. Price, amenities, ratings, reviews, and photos all move it.

7

Your controls: multipliers first, overrides last

Price = clamp(optimized × (1 + Σ multipliers ÷ 100), floor, max), unless an override is set. Multipliers come first and add as percentage points. Floors and a max exist for owner minimums, protection under large negative adjustments, and holiday or peak-season dates; the model rarely prices below the lowest comp. An override pins an exact rate and is the last resort, for when a client explicitly wants a fixed rate. The better the annual rent target is set, the fewer controls a listing needs.

“Comping like-kind units rather than an arbitrary base price is a game changer.” — Mike Springer, Book Nola
