What’s in the report
Every room, every rate plan, every date, and the things around the price that make a difference.
One row per room, rate plan and occupancy, for every check-in date across 365 days. Sold-out days stay in as a row with no rate.
When a partner offer or targeted deal is available, if it’s cheaper, and by how much.
Which rates carried a sale badge that day, so a discount is never mistaken for a standard rate.
How many of each room type are left when stock runs low, and the full count where a site holds it.
Breakfast, free cancellation and non-flexible, as flags on every rate.
The cheapest rate each day, and the cheapest the property itself sells, ignoring partner offers and targeted deals.
Whether a members-only price is available to signed-in guests.
How it compares
Most rate-shopping tools are built for one hotel watching its own market. Rate Capture is built for everyone else.

Questions
Every rate shown for the property on every check-in date across the next 365 days, one row per room, rate plan and occupancy: property, source, check-in date, availability, room, occupancy and price always, then optional columns for rate plan flags, sale badges, rooms left, cheapest-rate markers, parity issues and member pricing. You tick the optional groups on or off in Beacon Pro before you export. Parity issues and member pricing come from the world’s largest online booking site, so they’re blank for properties captured from a hotel chain’s own website.
Live at the moment the report runs. Beacon Pro reads the rates a guest is shown online right then and stamps the run with its date and time. To see how a market has moved, clone the report later and run it again, and both snapshots stay in your account for comparison.
365 days from the day it runs, for every check-in date, at the stay length you choose from 1 to 7 nights. Every run in Beacon Pro checks every date in that window, so next summer is in the file today, not only the next few weeks.
A CSV from Beacon Pro with the columns you choose, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, Python or R. Nothing is summarised or sampled. A 7-property, 1-night report is about 30,000 rows, roughly 13 rates per property per day, one row per room and rate plan shown.
Yes. Every run is a dated, unchangeable snapshot kept in your account. To capture the same list again, clone the report and run it, which costs credits again. Export both files and compare them in your own tools to see how the market moved, date by date and property by property.
Yes. You can use it for your own analysis, in client deliverables and as an input to your own models, research and products. You can’t resell or publish the raw file as a standalone product. The terms set out the detail.
Three optional columns. Partner offer marks a partner offer or targeted deal for the same room, Parity issue marks that it undercut the property’s own rate, and Undercut by gives the amount. Beacon Pro records these for every rate on every date for properties on the world’s largest online booking site, so a parity audit is a filter on the file rather than a separate product.
Any accommodation with a public listing on the world’s largest online booking site, plus properties from major hotel chains that sell mainly through their own websites: hotels, aparthotels, serviced apartments, hostels and guest houses. In Beacon Pro you add a property by pasting the URL of its page. Typical reports hold 5 to 10 properties, but there’s no fixed cap, and a report can be any list you like, in any market.
You choose one currency per report and every rate in it is returned in that currency. Beacon Pro supports over 50, including GBP, EUR, USD, AUD, CAD, CHF, JPY, AED, SGD, HKD, INR, ZAR and the main European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Latin American currencies. Credits themselves are bought in GBP.
£1 per property, each time a report runs. One credit checks one property and costs £1, so a 10-property study is £10 and returns a year of rates for every property on the list. Every new Beacon Pro account gets 6 free credits, enough to try it on a comp set before you spend anything. No card to sign up, no subscription, and credits never expire. Top-ups start at 10 credits.
Yes. A Beacon Pro account belongs to a business, and you can invite colleagues as Owner, Admin or Member. Credits sit on the business account and are shared by everyone in it, and every user’s reports are kept in one place, so a colleague can clone a report someone else built and run it again.
No. Beacon Pro is for consultants, developers, investors, vendors and anyone else who needs a year of rates for a list of properties and isn’t one of them. You don’t connect a property or need anyone’s permission. Running a hotel? Rate Radar checks your market up to four times a day and flags the moves that matter with Signals.
An STR report is historical and aggregated. It is built from performance figures that participating hotels submit, averaged across a comp set of at least four properties, and delivered as one blended rate for each month. Rate Capture is the opposite: the actual public prices for each named property, by room and rate plan, for the next 365 days, in a file within minutes. Most studies want both. STR tells you how the market performed. Rate Capture tells you how each property is pricing now.
A rate shopper is built for a hotel watching its own market: a subscription tied to that hotel and a fixed set of competitors. Rate Capture is for the other side of the table. Any list of properties, every room and rate plan, no subscription, no need to be the hotel, and you can use the file in client work. If you run a hotel and want to watch your market every day, Rate Radar is the tool for that.
