CheckinGuide vs CheckinLink

CheckinGuide gives you a beautifully branded guest guide plus AI Concierge, auto-translation, guest ID verification, security deposits and upsells, all in one place.

When hosts move on from a simple check-in link

A simple link with house rules and Wi-Fi details is a good start. Many hosts later want their guide to look like their brand, speak every guest's language and handle the jobs around a stay too.

• You want a guide that looks premium and matches your brand
• Your guests arrive from many countries and speak different languages
• You need ID checks and deposits without paying for extra tools
• You want to earn more with early check-in, late check-out and extras
