Category: Travel Tech · Short-Term Rentals Platforms: iOS & Android · Web Project Type: Vacation Rental Marketplace & Hospitality Platform

SnappStay is an innovative short-term rental platform and mobile application designed to make vacation rental booking simple, fair, and cost-effective for both guests and hosts. Built as a modern alternative to traditional marketplaces, the platform connects travelers to unique stays worldwide while empowering property owners to earn more with lower service fees and transparent pricing.

Our collaboration spanned from designing and developing the mobile apps to handling ongoing marketing strategy and execution, helping grow SnappStay’s presence in a competitive travel tech market.

Traditional vacation rental marketplaces often:

Charge high service fees that reduce hosts’ earnings

Create friction in booking flows for guests

Rely on complex interfaces that aren’t optimized for mobile

Struggle to balance host profitability with guest affordability

SnappStay’s vision was to address these gaps with a mobile-first, host-friendly, and guest-centric platform that simplifies discovery, improves transparency, and enhances the overall booking experience.

Additionally, as a new entrant in the travel tech space, SnappStay needed strong positioning and visibility — particularly on mobile — to compete with legacy players.

We delivered a fully functional, consumer-focused mobile application that brings the SnappStay experience into users’ hands. The app provides:

Seamless browsing and booking of vacation rentals worldwide

Clear pricing and transparent service fees for both guests and hosts

User-friendly search and filtering to match traveler preferences

Host tools that simplify listing management and performance insights

Beyond product delivery, we owned the mobile marketing strategy, driving awareness, adoption, and engagement through targeted campaigns, app store optimization (ASO), and performance tracking.

The SnappStay app was crafted to be intuitive and fast:

A clean search interface that helps travelers find properties by location, date, and preferences

Host onboarding flows that make listing setup quick and effortless

Property details with high-quality visuals and transparent pricing

Integrated messaging and communication between guests and hosts

Responsive UI across multiple device sizes

This mobile experience ensures guests can book stays easily and hosts can manage listings without unnecessary complexity — all in just a few taps.

To support market entry and growth, we implemented a comprehensive marketing approach that includes:

Brand positioning that highlights SnappStay’s host-friendly economics and guest affordability

App Store Optimization (ASO) to improve visibility and conversion across iOS and Android platforms

Content campaigns that communicate key differentiators such as lower fees and transparent pricing

Performance analytics to monitor acquisition, engagement, and user retention metrics

Together, product and marketing efforts helped elevate SnappStay’s competitive presence and accelerate user adoption in key travel markets.

SnappStay delivers value to both sides of the marketplace:

Guests enjoy simplified booking, affordable rates, and a streamlined mobile experience.

Hosts benefit from higher net earnings, flexible listing tools, and support in optimizing their performance.

The platform’s transparent fee structure and intuitive interface help build trust and encourage repeat usage from both travelers and property owners.

SnappStay is not merely another booking platform — it represents a new paradigm in vacation rentals grounded in fairness and usability. The project demonstrates strengths in:

By integrating powerful features with strategic growth initiatives, we helped position SnappStay as a compelling alternative in a space dominated by legacy platforms.

The SnappStay app launched as a modern, mobile-first vacation rental marketplace that brings together guests and hosts in a fair, transparent ecosystem. Through product excellence and tailored marketing efforts, the platform offers a compelling value proposition that enhances host profitability and simplifies travel planning for guests.

This project highlights our ability to deliver holistic mobile solutions supported by strategic marketing that drives adoption and engagement in competitive digital markets.
