FreshLinen

A Guidey alternative with no trial clock

Guidey pledges no ads and still ships a guest-facing marketing area. FreshLinen has none: a guest reading your book sees your content and nothing else.

The other everyday differences are the trial and the price. Guidey runs a 14-day trial; FreshLinen lets you build your whole book free, for as long as you like, and you pay only when you publish. Guidey prices per property; FreshLinen is $49.99 a year for your whole account, however many places you host.

What about translation?

Guidey advertises guest translation into many languages on all of its plans. FreshLinen translates too: guests can read your whole book in 12 languages from a picker at the bottom of every page, and the translations are rebuilt whenever you edit, so they never drift out of date. Wifi passwords, door codes, and place names are left alone. The difference between the two is not translation; it is that FreshLinen does one job, a welcome book with nothing for sale in it, at one flat price.
