AirROI offers free market tools and a pay-per-call API built on Airbnb data from 190+ countries. JokerPrice covers fewer places in more depth: the Gulf and Egypt, with Gathern and Agoda alongside Airbnb, priced in SAR. Competitor details checked on .
22 measures that matter to hosts in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. JokerPrice’s figures are read from its own database as this page loads. Figures for AirROI come from its public pages, read on ; each row links the page it came from.
The listing counts measure different things. JokerPrice counts the Gathern, Airbnb and Agoda listings it has collected from public searches. AirROI counts the Airbnb listings it found active in the 12 months to September 2026; where it publishes one city as several markets (for example “Medina” and “Madinah”), the row adds them up and names each one. Rows marked “Airbnb only” compare like with like. Results within 10% of each other are shown as even.

Honesty is part of the product. These are its gaps today.
Built for how short-term rentals work in the Gulf and Egypt.
JokerPrice reads public Gathern searches across 162 destinations and checks Gathern calendars daily. Neither PriceLabs nor AirROI lists Gathern on the pages we reviewed.
District names come in Arabic and English from Gathern’s own directory, and pages are available in Arabic under /ar.
Airbnb, Gathern and Agoda listings on one map and in one export, priced in SAR for the exact dates you choose.
Daily checks of public calendars turn closed nights into booking estimates. Figures stay marked “collecting” until an area has 7 days and 100 observed nights.
When fewer matching Gathern listings are open on a date than usual, the recommended rate rises, and it falls when more are open, within −15% to +20%.
The Atlas, reports and calculator are free for everyone. The 30-day free trial prices up to 25 properties and makes up to 25,000 API requests a day, with no card; after it, Host costs SAR 49 per property a month.
