Tired of building rental apps from scratch for every client?
White-label Airbnb clones are your secret weapon as it’s fully branded, ready-to-launch marketplaces you can deliver in weeks, not months.
Turn client ideas into revenue-generating platforms fast with quick TAT.
Let’s discuss how top agencies do it.
How do White-Label Clones help agencies?
White-label means you get a complete Airbnb clone with web, iOS, Android apps, and an admin panel. All these come with 100% source code.
This helps agencies to rebrand it completely. i.e., logo, colors, fonts, etc.
- Speed – allows them to customize and launch in 2-4 weeks vs 6-12 months of custom development
- Profit – can charge clients $50k-70k, pay $15k-25k for clone = $40k+ margin
- Repeatable – yes, same process but different niches (pets, luxury, boats)
- Scalable – can handle 10 clients simultaneously with a small team
One agency I know launched 16 client marketplaces last year, with each sale making $2k-10k/month commissions.

Step 1 - Pick the right White-Label Clone
Not all clones are agency-ready, so choose them wisely. Here are a few tips,
- Choose an Airbnb clone that provides Full Source Code (100% source code)
- Along with the web, mobile apps should also be customizable
- Look for a clone that is built with strong architecture and advanced technologies
- Check whether they can help you with web installation and mobile apps submissions.
- A one-time fee would be fine, or sign a contract on a client basis for lower fees.
Step 2 - The Agency Launch Process
Get on a discovery call with your client, and I have prepared a few lists of questions to ask (checklist)
- Identify their Niche (pets? luxury? boats?)
- Find out their target cities/countries
- Talk about branding guidelines
- Discuss timeline expectations
- Ask about their budget
- Rebrand UI/UX (logo, colors, fonts)
- Domain setup (clientbrand.com)
- Payment gateway (Stripe/PayPal setup for client)
- Legal pages customized if needed
There are some customizations that needs to be done. Here are few scenarios,
- Niche filters (pet size, boat length)
- Custom pricing rules
- Local taxes/VAT
- Multi-language setup based on their target location
- Unique host verification process
- End-to-end testing (bookings, payouts, mobile)
- Live demo with fake or dummy data
- Client training (30-min video)
- Go-live checklist complete
Step 3: Set your Agency Revenue Model
Here are few pricing model that works,
1) Fixed Model – One of the common models used in agencies where you can set a fixed price for clone, setup and technical support .
Example: $60k with clone + setup + 3 months support
Tip: If your client needs 6 months or 1 year of technical support, you can modify the pricing accordingly.
2) Revenue Share – You can get lifetime of revenue from all the bookings that happen on the platform or a % commission every year on the revenue they make.
Example: $50k + 2% lifetime revenue
3) Monthly SaaS – Very good model if you are planning for monthly recurring revenue.
Example: $5k setup + $2k/month for using the platform
4) White-label Reseller – Sign a reseller agreement and people are refer to their clients and they get a share for every sale that happens.
Example: $10k + $500/client you refer
Tip: You can upsell addons.
Example: $5k/month maintenance packages or $2k/month marketing services or $3k SEO setup + content if you have a marketing team with you.
