The Verdict Score 3.3/5 is the plain average of the five factors, published exactly as they average out.
AirDNA turns scraped global short-term-rental listings into market metrics and property-level revenue estimates, aimed at STR investors, hosts and property managers, with a separate enterprise data tier for lenders and funds. It is a data source rather than a workflow app, so it is at its best for market-level and multi-market research and weakest where you need software integrations or day-to-day product support.
AirDNA (AirDNA, LLC; Denver, Colorado) is owned by Alpine Investors and prices on two axes at once — market size and feature tier — rather than a single flat subscription.
Within Market Research & Analytics for Real Estate Investors, AirDNA holds a Verified 3.3/5 under this assessment. Across the wider market, Trustpilot rates it 4.6 as of Jul 2026 — dated context shown in full further down the page. The factor-by-factor reasoning below shows exactly where the score is earned and where it is dented.
