Founder-Led Software • Built for STR Co-Hosts & Property Managers

Why I Built StayForge

By Jim Boyer — Founder & Architect, StayForge Inc. & Guest Detective AI

Short-term rental co-hosts and property managers are often forced into a fragmented software stack. Messaging tools handle guest auto-replies well, but leave operators drowning in 6 open browser tabs—texting cleaners for staging photos, logging into a separate app to reset smart lock PINs, manually checking Airbnb page-1 search ranks in incognito windows, and spending 15+ hours every month reconciling QuickBooks expenses into owner P&L statements. Meanwhile, stacking separate add-on subscriptions across your portfolio eats 15–20% of your management margin.

I built StayForge (under Guest Detective AI) so operators never have to face a painful PMS migration just to run professional field operations and owner accounting. StayForge connects in under 3 minutes as a zero-migration operational overlay on top of the tools you already use (Hospitable, Hostaway, Guesty, Streamline, Airbnb, QuickBooks Online, Seam, and PriceLabs)—or runs as your standalone PMS-Lite with transparent sliding volume pricing from 1 to 100+ properties ($20/mo for 1 property, $15/property for 2–5, $12/property for 6–10, $10/property for 11–20, and $8/property for 21+ properties). Every feature is engineered around one goal: helping you retain property owners, protect your operational margin, and get your weekends back.
