Proptonomy vs Conduit (formerly HostAI): guest agents for all of hospitality, or an operations layer built for rentals.
Conduit, the company formerly called HostAI, builds AI agents for guest operations across hotels and short-term rentals, with voice in its packages. Proptonomy is built for rental operators and puts as much weight on the cleaners, vendors and follow-up behind the message as on the reply.
The short answer
Conduit suits operators who want guest messaging and voice agents across hotels and rentals, with SOC 2 Type II and published packages from $18 a unit. Proptonomy is priced per listing with every product included and no AI credits, and is built around the rental work after the message: cleaners and vendors briefed, chased and checked. Choose Conduit for voice-first guest service and security paperwork; choose Proptonomy to run the operation behind the reply.
How Conduit describes itself: “AI agents for guest operations.” source
Choose Conduit when
- You run hotels as well as rentals and want one agent platform across both.
- Your owners or buyers require SOC 2 Type II, which Conduit states it holds.
- Voice is central: Conduit lists inbound and outbound Voice AI in its packages.
- You want to drive the agents from your own stack through an API as well as MCP.
Choose Proptonomy when
- You want one per-listing price that includes every product, with no credit allowances to track.
- Your cleaners and vendors work in WhatsApp, Telegram or Slack, and you want each job chased until it is accepted, done and photo-checked.
- You want every outgoing reply checked for unconfirmed promises, and door codes released only to verified bookings.
- You run several client organisations and want one ranked queue across them.
- You operate in the Nordics: a Norwegian company, EU servers, KrossBooking, Hybel.no and EasyPick.

Fair is fair
What Conduit does well.
Voice in the package
Voice AI, inbound and outbound, is listed in Conduit’s packages, so guest calls and messages sit with one vendor. source
Enterprise security posture
Conduit states SOC 2 Type II certification, role-based access controls and full audit logs, and that customer data is never used to train shared models. source
Published starting prices
Package rates from $18 to $48 per unit are on its pricing page, with a flat $899 plan and no implementation fee for up to 25 units. source
Where each one stops
The limits, on both sides.
Conduit
- What a credit buys, and what overage costs, are not published.
- Its navigation still marks “Operations” as coming soon, while its rental pages describe live turnover work.
- Direct Booking.com and Vrbo connectors are marked “Coming soon” on its integrations page.
- No free plan, and a trial is not stated; the smallest plan is $899 a month.
Proptonomy
- No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification yet.
- No public REST API: the integrations and the MCP server are the ways in.
- Carrier usage (phone numbers, call minutes and SMS) is metered on top of the per-listing price.
Switching from Conduit
Three steps, and nothing goes quiet in between.
- 1
Connect your PMS next to Conduit
Proptonomy connects through your PMS’s marketplace or API and starts in observe mode, so Conduit keeps answering while Proptonomy reads, drafts and learns.
- 2
Move procedures and knowledge
Bring the procedures you configured in Conduit and your property details. Every Proptonomy draft cites what it used, so gaps show up early.
- 3
Hand over inbox by inbox, then the crew
Switch each inbox when it meets your pass mark, then move cleaners and vendors into their briefing chats.
Proptonomy and Conduit: questions
Yes. Conduit states that HostAI Labs, Inc. does business as Conduit. It was founded in 2024, is based in San Francisco and serves hotels as well as short-term rentals.
Conduit publishes starting rates of $18 to $48 per unit a month, each with a monthly credit allowance, and a flat $899 a month for up to 25 units. What a credit buys and overage are not published. Proptonomy is priced per listing with every product included, no setup fee and no AI credits, and quotes your portfolio in writing; only carrier usage such as numbers, minutes and SMS is metered.
No. Conduit says cleaners get assignments on the channel they already use. Proptonomy does the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, Slack, Teams or email, follows each job up until it is accepted and done, and checks completion photos against the checklist before the guest is told. Staff who want an app can use Proptonomy’s for iOS and Android.
No, not yet. Proptonomy runs on EU servers, encrypts integration credentials, logs every write to your PMS and uses AI providers that do not retain or train on your content. If SOC 2 Type II is a hard requirement today, Conduit states that it holds it.
