Zugrow is invite only. Join the waitlist and we will email you when your place is ready.
A direct connection, not an iCal link
iCal links copy your dates on a timer, and Airbnb's help page says “Your Airbnb calendar automatically updates every 3 hours”. Solo connects both channels directly, so a booking on one closes the same nights on the other as it arrives.
1 booking already overlaps on your calendar. You can connect and sort it after.
ConnectDouble booking protection from the day you connect
As you connect, Zugrow checks the bookings coming in against your calendar and tells you about any overlap: “1 booking already overlaps on your calendar. You can connect and sort it after.” Any clash then shows on your calendar as needing attention until you sort it.

What a double booking really costs
Stops double bookings before they cost you a refund, a rebooking and a review
Nights sold on one channel close on the other as the booking arrives, not hours later on an iCal timer.
Spots a clash months ahead, while there is time to fix it
Zugrow checks your bookings as you connect and flags any overlap, so you can sort it early.
Questions about the free channel manager
Is Zugrow Solo really free?
Yes. Solo is free forever for one property: a plan, not a trial, with no card or bank details and 0% commission on your bookings.
Which channels does the free plan connect?
Airbnb and Booking.com, both connected directly and never through an iCal link.
What is the difference between a channel manager and iCal?
An iCal link copies blocked dates between sites on a timer. Airbnb's help page says your Airbnb calendar automatically updates every 3 hours, so a second guest can book nights that are already sold before the next update. A direct connection closes those nights on the other channel as the booking comes in.
What happens if my calendars already clash when I connect?
Zugrow checks as you connect and tells you, for example: “1 booking already overlaps on your calendar. You can connect and sort it after.” The calendar then shows the double booking as needing attention until you sort it.
Do I need to be technical to set it up?
No. Follow four quick steps yourself, or bring your bookings across from your old channel manager with an export file. Nothing on your channels changes until you press Connect.
Can I move from another channel manager?
Yes. Export your bookings from Hostaway, Lodgify, Guesty, Smoobu, Hospitable or another system, and upload the file during setup. Zugrow reads the file and never signs in to your old system.
Can I sign up today?
Zugrow is invite only. Join the waitlist with your email and how many properties you host, and we will email you when your place is ready.

Move up to Pro, with unlimited properties and every agent included, for £19.95 per property per month, or £16.60 billed annually (2 months free).
