SmoothStay renames volume-discount prompt to match Units metric label
What happened
Between the Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 21, 2026 captures of SmoothStay's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Volume-discount prompt above the price reworded from 'Need 30+ guidebooks?' to 'Need 30+ units?', matching the 'Guides/Rooms/Units' metric label already used on the card; the 30+ threshold and offer are unchanged. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Host Plan at $5.9.
It lands 35 days after SmoothStay's previous change, "SmoothStay adds PMS integrations and webhooks to Host Plan" (Aug 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "SmoothStay: Guest registration + OTA compliance tools added" (Jul 4, 2026). SmoothStay has been tracked since 2026-03-03.
In the same window Guesty also changed their Collaboration & Productivity pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
