OpenStays.AI alternatives for Malaysian homestay owners
OpenStays.AI publishes a free Property Passport so AI travel agents can find your stay and send guests to your own booking route, with no commission. It takes no payments. UrusPro is that route and the system behind it: first listing free, then RM 10 a month per homestay listing and RM 3 per room.
What OpenStays.AI's own site says
- The OpenStays.AI homepage states 0% booking commission, no listing fee and no monthly subscription.
- Their product is a Property Passport: you send the URL of an existing listing, review a private draft, and approve which facts become public for AI agents to read.
- Their How can it be free? page states that they do not take booking payments, and that optional paid services fund the free network.
- The footer on every page states that OpenStays.AI does not take payments, inspect properties, verify ownership or guarantee stays, and that guests should book through the owner's own domain.
- The site is published in English and its contact WhatsApp number is a United Kingdom number.
Why Malaysian operators look for something else
- A passport needs a booking route to point at: an owner with only an Airbnb link sends the guest back to the channel they were trying to avoid.
- The facts a passport publishes, prices, rooms, beds and open dates, have to be correct and current somewhere first.
- Approving a passport does not answer the message, hold the date, collect the deposit or issue the receipt.
Options, by situation
Give the passport a booking page to point at
Every UrusPro listing can publish on hellostay.my with its own page, prices in RM and direct booking with no commission. That is the URL a passport can point at.

Discovery brings the guest to the door; after that the dates, the money and the documents still have to be handled. First listing free, then RM 10 a month for each homestay listing and RM 3 a month for each room or bed let monthly, monthly rent included.

If your booking route already works, a free passport adds discovery without adding work. There is no reason to change a system that is doing its job.
Frequently asked questions
- What does OpenStays.AI cost?

- No. One publishes your listing's facts to AI agents; the other is the booking page it points at, and runs the calendar, payments and rent after that.
- Does UrusPro do everything OpenStays.AI does?
- We do not claim that. We do not run their network, so we do not compare features with it. What UrusPro does is listed one by one, with its limits, on our features page.
