Our verdict
Best-value indoor STR sensor when hardware-included annual pricing fits your portfolio
What Alertify actually is
Alertify is an indoor STR sensor that bundles noise monitoring, smoking detection, and temperature/humidity readings into a single device, with an upgraded AQI+ tier adding air-quality and CO2 sensing. Hardware ships included in the annual subscription rather than as a separate SKU, and the platform integrates with most major short-term rental PMSs to automate guest messaging when incidents are detected.
What we like
All-in-one indoor sensor with hardware included in the subscription
The annual fee bundles the Alertify Device rather than billing hardware separately. Vendor copy notes that 'Average Smoking Damage costs are 250% of the cost of an Alertify Device,' framing the device as cheap relative to a single incident.
Strong third-party review consensus on accuracy and alerting
Independent STR review sites consistently rank Alertify near the top for indoor monitoring. Summer calls out a 'robust alert system with immediate notifications,' and Turno highlights its precise noise measurement.
Broad PMS integration list with automated guest messaging
The integrations page names 10+ PMSs including Hostaway, Guesty, Hospitable, Lodgify, OwnerRez, Mews, and Hostfully, plus Slack and webhooks — letting hosts automate the guest nudge when an incident fires.
Where it falls short
No outdoor sensor option
Summer's review is explicit: if guests sneak parties onto a patio or in a backyard, Alertify won't catch it. Hosts whose noise risk lives outside should look elsewhere or layer a second product.
Annual-only billing forces a 12-month commitment
Both visible tiers on the pricing page are 'Billed Annually' with no month-to-month plan surfaced, which makes piloting a single device on a short trial harder than with subscription competitors.
Enterprise pricing above 25 properties is opaque
The pricing page explicitly punts portfolios above 25 properties to 'Contact our sales team' without publishing a discounted per-unit rate, so larger operators can't self-serve a quote.
Is Alertify right for you?
OK for
Mid-sized portfolios of 25–100 units willing to negotiate a custom quote, particularly when air-quality data or post-incident evidence for deposit claims matters.
Skip if
Your main concern is outdoor patio or hot-tub noise, or you're looking for a property management platform rather than a hardware-led sensor.
