Hostshare Starter Plus Membership

Written by Faith W

Price: $20/month

Starter Plus is for hosts who want a simple, flexible membership without an annual commitment. You keep your nights alive and earn them at the moment someone books your home — not after they check out.

What you get:

  • 3 nights upfront, never expire

  • Nights credited to your wallet at the time of booking (not at checkout completion — this is the key difference from Starter)

  • No share contract — sharing is optional

  • No credits on signup, but credits can be earned through reviews, referrals, and promotions — fully spendable immediately

  • Full access to search and book across the 6-month window

How nights are earned on Starter Plus:

Unlike the Starter Membership, each listing earns independently using its own nightly rate — not a blended average. So if you have multiple listings, each one's earnings are calculated separately.

The honest math:

At ~$240/year, Starter Plus costs more annually than Pro ($299/year) for fewer nights. It's intentionally designed this way — if you're a committed host, Pro is the better long-term value. Starter Plus is the right fit for hosts who prefer monthly flexibility or aren't ready for an annual plan.

Upgrading:

Upgrading from Starter Plus to Pro or Max is lossless — all your nights and credits carry over. You'll receive the delta between tiers immediately: +11 nights and +$100 credits when moving to Pro, or +21 nights and +$1,000 credits when moving to Max.
