TripBidWhat the usage-based model measures
The model applies across hotels, apartments, villas and other accommodation types. It measures occupied room or independently bookable unit nights, not guest headcount, advertised room capacity or a percentage of booking value. One occupied room for four nights contributes four room nights; two occupied rooms for four nights contribute eight.
Realised nights are allocated to the relevant calendar month, excluding checkout day. Future reserved nights do not become occupied nights just because a booking has been created. A booking cancelled before the stay contributes no occupied stay. The subscription statement is the reference for the recorded usage and any authorised correction.
Illustrative cross-month stay
One room is occupied from 29 September to checkout on 3 October. That is four nights: 29 and 30 September, then 1 and 2 October. Two room nights belong to September and two to October, rather than putting the entire stay into the booking-created month.
Current core subscription brackets
The current implemented ladder is shown below. These are fixed bracket amounts per accommodation, not a charge per occupied night. Check the current subscription agreement, subscription information in your host dashboard and usage statements for the arrangement applying to your account, applicable tax and the amount invoiced.
| Previous month's occupied room/unit nights | Monthly bracket amount |
|---|---|
| 0–2 | €0 |
| 3–20 | €40 |
| 21–50 | €120 |
| 51–80 | €260 |
| 81–100 | €400 |
| 101 or more | €500 |
Illustrative usage and fee calculation
An accommodation records 17 eligible occupied room nights in one month. Its bracket amount for the following month is €40, not 17 × €40. Another accommodation with 34 eligible nights falls into the €120 bracket. Each accommodation is assessed separately even when the same host owns both.
New hosts do not automatically receive a free trial. Existing approved trial arrangements can be preserved. Check the terms shown to your own account rather than assuming a promotional period.
AI inclusion and older add-on arrangements
AI Reservation Manager access is included for accounts enrolled in the current qualifying core model, subject to core access and the host's AI authorisation. Older accounts may still have a separate per-property AI add-on until their applicable transition is completed. It is not accurate to describe every host as paying an extra AI fee, or every existing account as already migrated.
Read the AI status and subscription information in your AI Reservation Manager settings before subscribing or changing arrangements. Legacy add-on rates can depend on the property. Use the price and terms shown there rather than a historic rate or retired room-count core plan.
No booking commission does not mean no processing costs
TripBid's booking commission is zero. Accommodation payments go to the host's connected payment account under the booking's payment setup, not into a platform-held accommodation balance. Your payment provider can charge processing, currency-conversion or other contractual fees independently of TripBid's subscription.
Illustrative distinction
A guest books an agreed €724 stay. TripBid does not take a percentage commission from that €724. Any processing fee depends on the host's payment-provider agreement; this guide does not invent a percentage or promise the provider will settle exactly €724 net of its own fees.
For a legacy account, review the terms of any subscription change before consenting. This guide explains the model; it does not change billing or enrol an account.
