Beyond Pricing is free during beta, and then we will charge a reasonable monthly rate per property, similar to other SaaS solutions for vacation rentals. The channels like Airbnb actually love it because it helps maximize revenue across the system, making the pie from which they take a 10% commission on larger.

I'd be careful about assuming the platforms will "love it". AirBnB, in particular, is very sensitive to customer experiences and ever-changing prices are known to be extremely annoying. A delicate balance must be struck.
Maybe there could be an option for "max volatility" or something where an owner would give it a percent and say "Don't change my price by more than x% in y time".
