FAQ
Straight answers before you start.
What does HostHours record?
Property work by date, duration, person, category and notes, plus optional image or PDF evidence. Entries remain factual records you review and can correct.
Does it support both STR and LTR properties?
Yes. Rental type belongs to each property, so one portfolio can include both short- and long-term rentals with a clear tax year for each workspace.
What is the difference between Free, Essential and Pro?
Free covers one property and up to 15 saved records. Essential adds up to three properties, unlimited records, custom organization, one evidence file per activity and standard CSV. Pro adds unlimited properties, reviewed recall tools, five files per activity and the complete PDF/CPA CSV packet.
How do Voice AI and Calendar Recall work?
They create editable starting points. Voice AI structures what you say into a draft. Calendar Recall shows clues from calendars you explicitly select on your device. Neither creates an activity until you review and confirm it.
Does HostHours give tax advice or tell me if I qualify?
No. HostHours does not determine material participation, deductions, tax status, compliance or audit outcomes. It organizes factual records for discussion with a qualified CPA or tax professional.
Is evidence required?
No. Evidence is optional supporting context and does not independently verify that work happened. Free allows no new evidence uploads, Essential up to one file per activity, and Pro up to five.
Can I export or delete my data?
Export My Data remains available on every plan. Account deletion is available in Settings, but it is separate from canceling an App Store or Google Play subscription.
HostHours for web, iOS & Android
Start with the work. Finish with a clean record.

Important boundary
HostHours is a factual recordkeeping tool, not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. It does not determine material participation, deduction eligibility, tax classification, compliance, audit acceptance or another professional outcome. Review your circumstances with a qualified CPA or tax professional.
