Florida checklist depth — not a PMS.
Hosteva is a Florida-first short-term rental compliance research product: address in → zoning risk → layered municipal checklist → official .gov portal links. We compete on curated Florida corridor depth and citation-backed tasks versus HostReady/PermitGuard-class checklist tools — not as an anti-Guesty property-management or multi-channel operations suite.
What Phase I ships
- Free Audit — Florida address lookup and preliminary zoning risk, or honest Under Review when data is missing.
- Compliance Essentials ($9.99/mo or $99/yr) — interactive state/county/municipal checklist, municipal fee notes when available, and direct .gov submission links.
- Citation-backed rules — checklist items point at official sources; Hosteva does not invent a green light.
What Phase I is not
- Not a property-management system (PMS), inbox, or calendar sync product.
- Not a live multi-channel / OTA publishing hub or “operations engine.”
- Not legal, tax, or licensing advice — you own final filings.
- OTA 1-click publish, multi-calendar sync, and similar ops modules stay deferred (Phase II waitlist).
How we position against checklist peers
Hosts comparing compliance SaaS will evaluate Hosteva next to HostReady-, PermitGuard-, and Lodge Compliance-class tools. Our wedge is Florida municipal depth (Kissimmee–Panama City Beach–Miami Beach corridors), honest Under Review when a locality is not curated, and every Essentials task tied to a .gov source where available — a data moat, not an AI slogan or a Guesty alternative narrative.
