WelcomeScreen Review (2026)
Overview
WelcomeScreen is a guest-facing upsell and digital guidebook layer for STR operators that turns in-home TVs into branded welcome screens while also supporting mobile guidebook experiences and PMS-synced guest info . Pricing starts at $5.99 per property per month with no setup fees in most cases, month-to-month or annual billing, and unlimited TVs per property at the time of review [page:1][page:2].
At a glance
- Low entry pricing at $5.99 per property per month with no setup fees in most cases, which makes it accessible for small STR portfolios and single-listing hosts [page:1]
- Unlimited TVs can be used within the same property without extra charge, improving in-unit guest messaging economics for larger homes and multi-room stays [page:2]
- Supports branded guest experiences with logos, colors, fonts, images, videos, virtual tours, Wi-Fi display, weather, and local recommendations across TV and guidebook touchpoints [page:1]
- Hosts who want a clean UI
- Instant turn-on is only supported on Google streaming and Google TV devices, which limits the most polished in-room experience on Roku and Amazon hardware [page:2]
- WelcomeScreen does not directly integrate with guest mode, relying instead on a workaround rather than native support [page:2]
Pros & Cons
Highlights and considerations for WelcomeScreen.
- Low entry pricing at $5.99 per property per month with no setup fees in most cases, which makes it accessible for small STR portfolios and single-listing hosts [page:1]
- Unlimited TVs can be used within the same property without extra charge, improving in-unit guest messaging economics for larger homes and multi-room stays [page:2]
- Supports branded guest experiences with logos, colors, fonts, images, videos, virtual tours, Wi-Fi display, weather, and local recommendations across TV and guidebook touchpoints [page:1]
- Offers PMS-based property and guest syncing, plus manual property setup for hosts who are not yet running a full PMS stack
- Built-in partner-driven upsell potential includes promotion of early check-ins, rentals, shops, and activity bookings, with the site claiming hosts can earn up to 8% from partner-booked activities
- Instant turn-on is only supported on Google streaming and Google TV devices, which limits the most polished in-room experience on Roku and Amazon hardware [page:2]
- WelcomeScreen does not directly integrate with guest mode, relying instead on a workaround rather than native support [page:2]
- Some guidebook and attraction-related features are marked as coming soon on the pricing page, so not all promised functionality appears fully mature yet [page:1]
- Device setup requires someone to be physically present at the property, which adds operational friction for remote managers scaling across dispersed units [page:2]
- Public pricing is light on portfolio tiers and enterprise detail; operators with more than 3 properties are pushed to contact sales, reducing pricing transparency for scaled teams [page:2]
Scores
Strong in value for money and ease of use; weaker in data export for guest upsells.
