The rubric behind every number.
Tested on real listings, weighted by what actually costs you money.
A Big Sky Host Ledger score is not a vibe or a vendor claim. It earns its keep on real bookings for a season before we write a word. The weighting below is where the real judgement lives.
We connect each tool to real listings and use it the way an owner would — through peak weekends and quiet midweeks — before it gets a score.
The four things we score
- Reliability — 38%. How rarely it breaks, double-books or drops a message when it matters.
- Value — 27%. What you pay versus what you would lose in missed nights and mistakes.
- Support — 20%. Whether you can reach a human quickly when something breaks at 11pm.
- Setup — 15%. How painless it is to connect your listings and get started.
The rubric is the same for everyone, and it is not for sale. If a provider will not let us test on live bookings, we simply do not rate it.
