There's no single answer to what an Airbnb co-host costs, because scope varies from message-only help to full operational management.
The short answer
Direct answer: Most co-hosts charge a percentage of revenue (10-30%) or a flat monthly rate ($70-$800/month depending on property size and scope).
What drives the price
- Scope of service โ messaging-only vs. full operations.
- Property count and size โ portfolios see per-property discounts; larger properties cost more.
- Pricing model โ percentage scales with revenue, flat doesn't.
- Geography โ UK/EU rates run somewhat lower on average than US percentage rates in some markets.
Real published rate ranges
Percentage-based: 10-30%, with 15-25% most common for full-service. Flat monthly by scope: roughly $68-$300/month. Flat monthly by size: roughly $599-$799/month.
What's usually not included
- Cleaning labor itself (vs. coordination, which is usually included)
- Platform/booking fees charged by Airbnb
- Maintenance/repair costs
- Furnishing, photography, or initial setup
