About AirDNA

AirDNA was created to address a key challenge: how to make informed decisions in the short-term rental market when reliable data is hard to find. What began in a California garage in 2015 has grown into a global company supporting everyone from new hosts to large real estate firms in making smart investment choices, setting competitive prices, and scaling their businesses.

Our goal is simple — to empower people to achieve financial freedom through short-term rentals. Whether you’re buying your first Airbnb or managing a growing portfolio, we’re here to help you succeed.

We monitor over 10 million listings across 120,000 markets, and our platform is trusted by users in more than 100 countries. We turn big data into actionable insights.

In 2023, AirDNA acquired Uplisting, a robust property management tool that helps hosts and operators manage listings on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. With features such as channel management, automated messaging, dynamic pricing, task coordination, and financial reporting, Uplisting enhances our ability to support users at every stage of their short-term rental journey — from investment to daily operations.
