Who actually tests the tools.
Every score comes from someone who runs real listings. Here's the team, and what each of them owns.

Rebecca ran a 14-unit short-term rental portfolio across Austin and Nashville for eight years before starting StayStack.
Marcus Reed
Management & operations
A former Superhost, Marcus has onboarded more than 30 listings to full-service management companies and knows exactly where the hand-off breaks.
Hannah Cole
Revenue & pricing
Hannah is a revenue analyst who has run dynamic pricing across 40+ listings.
Jordan Ellis
Automation & tools
Jordan self-manages his rentals and has tested every major PMS and guest-messaging tool since 2019.
Sam Whitaker
Guest experience
Sam hosts a lakeside cabin and two city apartments and writes from the guest side of the door — the details that turn a stay into a five-star review.
