VaultSTRThe verdict
AirDNA wins this comparison in 2026, and not primarily on data. AllTheRooms still holds the deeper archive — up to seven years of history against AirDNA's two to three — but its August 2025 acquisition by Deckard Technologies, a municipal compliance vendor, changed what the product is likely to become. For an agent staking client recommendations on a data source, roadmap risk is data risk. Here's the full picture, including the two cases where AllTheRooms is still worth paying for. VaultSTR may earn a commission from partner links on this page; that never changes what we recommend.
| AirDNA | AllTheRooms | |
|---|---|---|
| Historical depth | 2-3 years | Up to 7 years (Pro) |
| Coverage | 10M+ listings, ~120K markets | Broad, with patented cross-platform deduplication |
| Address-level projection | Rentalizer | None comparable |
| Price | Free tier; Research $34/mo annual | Free tier; Basic ~$19/mo; Pro ~$49/mo, per market |
| Ownership | Independent, STR-focused | Deckard Technologies (municipal STR compliance), since Aug 2025 |
| Support reputation | Adequate | Trustpilot 2.5/5 in early 2026; auto-renewal complaints |
Historical depth — AllTheRooms
Seven years of history changes certain questions: how a market behaved through a full rate cycle, whether current softness is seasonal or structural, what a downturn did to ADR. AirDNA's shorter window can't answer those. If your client's thesis rests on long-cycle behavior, this is the one thing AllTheRooms does that AirDNA can't. Winner: AllTheRooms.
Data engineering — AllTheRooms, narrowly
AllTheRooms holds six patents on cross-platform deduplication — the unglamorous problem of not double-counting a property listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo — with a claimed 95.5% accuracy. AirDNA's data is strong and partner-fed, but on the specific engineering of deduplication, AllTheRooms has the credentials. Winner: AllTheRooms.
Underwriting workflow — AirDNA
Only AirDNA offers an address-level projection (Rentalizer, used with the discount we detail in the Rentalizer accuracy breakdown), customizable comp sets, revenue percentiles, and forward demand data. AllTheRooms is a market-trends product; it doesn't attempt the property-level workflow that deal advisory runs on. Winner: AirDNA, decisively.
Pricing structure — AirDNA
AllTheRooms charges per market — ~$49/month for Pro in a single market. An agent working three metros pays three times. AirDNA's $34/month annual Research seat covers every market in the database (see the full pricing breakdown). For anyone advising across markets, it's not close. Winner: AirDNA.
Ownership and roadmap — AirDNA
The deciding section. Deckard's business is helping city governments find unlicensed rentals — a legitimate business that is nearly the opposite customer from an STR investor. The acquisition rationale points at AllTheRooms' data-aggregation technology, not its investor product. Add the post-acquisition signals — a Trustpilot slide to 2.5/5, recurring auto-renewal and support complaints — and the prudent read is that the investor-facing product is no longer anyone's priority. AirDNA, whatever its flaws, wakes up every morning selling to your side of the market. Winner: AirDNA.
When to recommend AllTheRooms anyway
Two cases. First, long-cycle analysis: if seven years of history materially changes the underwriting — resort markets with boom-bust patterns, post-regulation recoveries — buy one month of Pro for that market, extract what you need, and cancel. Second, as a verification layer: when a deal is large enough that two independent data sources are worth $49, a one-market month is cheap insurance.
In both cases: month-to-month, never auto-renew, and treat it as a supplement to a primary source.
Our call
AirDNA, with confidence. The data gap runs in AllTheRooms' favor on history and AirDNA's favor on workflow — but the ownership question breaks the tie before the data gets a vote. A recommendation you make to a client should sit on a vendor whose roadmap points at investors. In 2026, only one of these two does. Full evaluation in the AirDNA review, other options in the alternatives roundup, and the wider category in STR market analytics. This is not financial advice. Underwrite every deal on its own numbers.
