HostGuide Pricing Update: Moving to Global USD Pricing
We're excited to announce a change that makes HostGuide more accessible globally: transitioning from AUD to USD pricing at $20 USD/year for up to 20 properties.
What's Changing: HostGuide pricing is moving from $20 AUD/year to $20 USD/year for up to 20 properties. This change provides global pricing standardization and makes budgeting easier for international hosts.

Our platform helps hosts provide consistent, professional information to their guests while saving countless hours. As our community has grown increasingly international, we recognized the need for a pricing structure that serves our global audience better.

Questions About the Change?
When does this take effect?
The USD pricing is effective immediately for all new subscriptions. Existing subscribers will transition at their next renewal date with advance notice.
Will there be future price increases?
We're committed to keeping HostGuide affordable. We have no plans to increase the $20/year rate and will always provide advance notice if that changes.

Our payment processor (Stripe) automatically handles currency conversion, so you can pay using your local payment method. The charge will appear in your local currency at the current exchange rate.
