Your operational partner
Not a co-host. Not a software tool. Dropby is your operational partner — like OYO did for hotels, we take over the full operational layer of your apartment: pricing, guests, check-in, smart home experience, platform management. All on a proven automated system. You keep ownership. Your property now runs to a Dropby standard — earning significantly more, requiring almost none of your time.
How we work
Most services hand you a piece and leave you to figure out the rest. Dropby takes accountability for the whole operation — so the gaps that cost you time, money and guests simply don't exist.
We start by understanding your property, your market and your goals — and design the right model for your situation. Not a template. A tailored plan.
We configure and connect the right tools — dynamic pricing, channel management, automated messaging, guest check-in — into one seamless system.
We run the operation — or hand it over to you fully configured. Either way, you get results without being buried in daily management.
Who we work with
Different situations. Different needs. One partner who understands all of them.
You own a property and want to generate significantly more income — but you're unsure where to start, what's legal, or whether it's worth the operational complexity.
See what's possible for you →You're currently renting long-term and wondering if STR could earn you significantly more. Spoiler: in most cases, it does — by a wide margin. We show you the real numbers.
See the revenue comparison →You're already on Airbnb or Booking.com but juggling too many tools, leaving money on the table with flat pricing, and spending more time than you planned.

Every other option leaves gaps in the operational layer. A tool without execution. A co-host without strategy. A consultant without follow-through. Dropby closes all of them.

Our approach
We don't run a franchise model. Every property gets a tailored operational setup — built on the same proven system, configured for your specific market, property type and goals.
We assess your property, your market and your current setup. We tell you what it could earn under the Dropby operational system — and whether it's the right fit. No pitch, no template, no assumptions.
We configure pricing, guest communication, check-in, platform management and reporting — all connected and automated. Your property is now running on the Dropby system, not your manual effort.
We run the full operation for you — or hand over a fully configured system so you can run it yourself with minimal effort. Either way, the outcome is the same: more revenue, less effort, full control.
