Enso Connect prices one unit the same way whether it is a vacation rental listing or a hotel room, which makes it a natural fit for operators who run both. Every plan includes EnsoAI, a unified inbox, the Boarding Pass guest portal, upsells, a CRM and a dashboard. The AI agent answers guest messages on every channel, and the Core plan includes one WhatsApp brand, a website chat widget, an email inbox and an SMS line. You set up an AI knowledge base, messaging style, policies and escalation rules, and test replies in a sandbox before going live. Core starts at $16 per unit a month billed yearly, or $20 monthly, with a 5 unit minimum and no setup fees. Pro at $24 adds AI that runs workflows and tasks for up to 5 brands, and Max at $28 adds AI that runs operations across the portfolio. Enso walks through pricing for your portfolio on a demo call before you sign.
