The Monthly Minimum Fee (MMF) ensures you have consistent access to the Guesty platform and services, regardless of your booking volume. This fee acts as a baseline agreement in your contract, guaranteeing that you can always use our features to manage your business effectively.
How it works
The Monthly Minimum Fee operates on a simple principle based on your contract. Your contract sets a specific minimum monthly payment, for example, $200. At the end of each billing cycle, we compare your actual usage fees against this minimum.
If your usage fees are lower than the minimum, you pay the difference to reach that amount. If your usage is equal to or greater than the minimum, you simply pay your actual usage amount with no additional charges. We calculate and apply the fee on a month-by-month basis, so unused amounts don't roll over to the next month.
Locate the fee on invoices
We process the MMF adjustment on a separate invoice issued at the end of the billing month. This separate invoice only appears if your usage is below the threshold and includes the difference needed to meet your minimum commitment.
Adjust the fee
Your MMF is established in your contract. Contact your account manager to discuss your specific situation if you need to make adjustments.
