Switch to BrightSide for a Seamless, Scalable Alternative

The vacation rental industry is evolving rapidly, and the recent acquisition of LiveRez by Inhabit (Streamline’s parent company) has left many users facing a mandatory migration to Streamline. This isn’t just a simple upgrade—it’s a shift to a more complex, enterprise-focused platform that could disrupt your daily operations and inflate costs.

If you’re among the LiveRez users searching for options beyond this forced transition, we invite you to consider BrightSide as your ideal alternative. BrightSide is a cloud-based vacation rental management software designed to streamline your workflow, boost efficiency, and scale with your growth. Our motto is “Do More. Work Less.™”

BrightSide is experienced, with more than 20 years in the vacation rental management software space. Our software is feature-rich, yet easy and intuitive to use. You may be surprised just how much you can do with so little effort and expense.

“Switching to BrightSide for our software needs has been an outstanding decision for our company. The transition was seamless, and the support we received made the process incredibly smooth. BrightSide’s solutions have significantly enhanced our productivity and efficiency. We’re thrilled with the improvements and can’t recommend them highly enough!” – Brandy Hanwell, Parkside Resorts

Whether you’re managing 10 properties or hundreds, BrightSide adapts to your needs without the bloat or expense of Streamline. Let’s explore the implications of the LiveRez shutdown and see why BrightSide is the superior choice.

Understanding the LiveRez Transition and Its Challenges

LiveRez has been your trusted partner for vacation rental management, providing essential tools like channel management, trust accounting, and automation. However, with the platform’s impending sunset, the push to Streamline introduces potential pitfalls: a steeper learning curve, modular add-ons that drive up costs, and a system optimized for high-volume enterprises rather than diverse operations. Many users are rightfully concerned about adapting to this change, especially when it feels more like a corporate mandate than a tailored improvement.

One former Streamline user told us that Streamline was complicated to use. It has a lot of features, but you couldn’t figure out how to use them. BrightSide is so much easier.

Instead of settling for Streamline, why not opt for a fresh, user-focused solution? BrightSide delivers the core functionalities of LiveRez, and more, while supporting businesses of all sizes. Let’s look at why so many property management companies from across the U.S.A., Canada, Belize, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, have chosen us as their software partner.

Why Choose BrightSide Over Streamline

Developed by industry veterans for property managers like you, BrightSide emphasizes simplicity, affordability, and flexibility. Our all-in-one platform handles everything from reservations to revenue optimization, with built-in scalability that grows with your business. Here are the key reasons to make the switch:

• Quick Adaptation: We don’t think you should spend the next six months to a year figuring out how to use our software. We begin by training you, then we walk with you, and we are here to assist you into the future. Real people with real assistance.
• Scalable for Any Size Operation: BrightSide works seamlessly with clients managing as few as 10 properties or those overseeing hundreds of units, offering robust features without requiring enterprise-level commitments. Unlike Streamline’s focus on large-scale enterprises, we’re versatile for growing businesses at any stage. (Many of our clients came to us after using Streamline, OwnerRez, Track, and others, proving we’re not just for small operations.)
• Cost-Effective Pricing: Transparent, tiered subscriptions based only on units managed, starting at $16 per unit for the first 25, down to $10 per unit for 51+ (with a $160 monthly minimum and $1,000 one-time setup fee*). This costs significantly less than Streamline’s modular, customized pricing. No hidden fees, add-ons, or long-term contracts, just value that fits your budget. Use our Price Calculator to see your monthly subscription fee.
• Intuitive Interface and Rapid Onboarding: User-friendly design with features like quick reservations and automated communications, backed by exceptional uptime. BrightSide helps you onboard in just four weeks in most cases, but could be slightly longer for very large companies. This contrasts with Streamline’s more intricate system, which may overwhelm LiveRez users.
• Comprehensive Integrations: Seamless API connections to major OTAs (Google Vacation Rentals, Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com) and tools like PriceLabs, Beyond, and Wheelhouse for dynamic pricing; Breezeway, Operto, and Resort Cleaning for housekeeping; MailChimp for marketing; plus Whimstay, dormakaba, and more. We prioritize user-requested additions. Review our integrations.
• Dedicated Support and Customization: Personalized, responsive assistance from our teams in Tennessee and Florida, we answer calls or return them promptly, with emails handled in minutes to hours.
• Tools to Drive Revenue: Built-in dynamic pricing, Google Reviews integration (plus Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com reviews), in-depth analytics, automations, source tracking, and reservation statistics, all without unnecessary complexity. Explore our features.
• Data Migration: We offer an optional service to convert your LiveRez data (reservations, images, property settings, guest info, and more) so you don’t lose historical records.

BrightSide isn’t just an alternative, it’s an upgrade that aligns with your goals. Our users praise our ease of use and support: If you liked LiveRez, you’ll love BrightSide!
