Comparison
Helpy Travel and GuestIntro both give hosts a free-forever digital guest guide with an AI concierge and automatic translations. The difference is the model: Helpy Travel builds bookable services, experiences and local recommendations into the guide itself, and scales to more properties on one flat plan.

Choosing a guest-guide tool
Helpy Travel and GuestIntro each publish one guest guide free forever, but the free scopes differ: GuestIntro's published free plan lists 7 guide sections and 2 translations, while Helpy Travel's includes automatic translations into 5 languages and an AI concierge. If you only need a single informational guidebook, both do the job well.
Helpy Travel turns the guide into a revenue path: bookable services, curated experiences and affiliate-friendly local recommendations are part of the guide, not a separate product.
Helpy Travel is €14.99/month to publish more than one property guide — one plan, rather than a per-guidebook charge for each additional property.
Each Helpy Travel guide is its own web page with a QR code and link. Guests open it in any browser, in their language, with no app to install.
GuestIntro is a strong choice if you want the fastest single-guidebook setup, offline PDF export, or its separate direct-booking website product.
Both products change. Check each vendor's current pricing and features before you decide.
Decision guide
The right pick depends less on a feature checklist than on what you want the guide to do for your business.
Just information, or also local discovery, bookable services and host revenue?
Compare one flat plan for several properties against a per-guidebook charge for each one you add.
Confirm guests can open the guide by QR code or link, in their own language, without an app.
