The published facts, in plain English

The Cohost Co. is a co-host operator based in Tempe, AZ, covering Greater Phoenix / Scottsdale. No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. Published portfolio size: Small by design. In scale, we file it as local.

Data-desk note: "Fewer homes, better care" owner-operator co-host.

Who it’s for

The Cohost Co. is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in East Tennessee.

Our take

We list The Cohost Co.’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.

How it compares to One Fine BnB

A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: The Cohost Co. does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.

What the published record signals

In scale the desk files The Cohost Co. as local — the kind of operation where you are likely dealing with the same few people, which some owners pay a premium for on purpose. Published coverage is Greater Phoenix / Scottsdale — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. The listed model is co-host: you stay the operator of record and keep more control — and more of the work. With no fee in print, treat every The Cohost Co. conversation as a quote request first and a fit conversation second.

Two owner scenarios

• The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
• The hands-on owner. If you live nearby and enjoy the work, a full-service fee buys you time you may not need — run the math on what you would actually delegate before you sign anything with The Cohost Co..

Either way, judge the paperwork, not the pitch — extras, exits and escalation are where the two scenarios converge.

Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: see the numbers — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If The Cohost Co. beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.

Verdict

A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

Questions owners ask

Does The Cohost Co. publish its management fee?
No. The fee is not published, so you would need to request a quote.

Greater Phoenix / Scottsdale. It is based in Tempe, AZ.

How big is The Cohost Co.?
Published portfolio: Small by design. We file it as local in scale.

What we would ask The Cohost Co.

• “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
• Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
• Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.

Alternatives worth comparing

Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:

• Open Air Homes — 20–25% + $125/mo.
• Guestable — Not published (perf-based).
• Boring Host — $13/listing/mo (10-listing min).

Our own number one in this category is One Fine BnB — see a managed option for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
