Sadie Marsh
Software & automation at Downeast Host Journal.

Self-manages a year-round listing near Portland and refuses to score any tool she has not left running through a full turnover cycle, including the February one.
What Sadie covers
Sadie covers host software and automation — whether pricing is per listing or flat, whether a free tier is real or just a trial, and whether a tool needs a PMS underneath it. Every piece of that work is held to how we test and our editorial policy, which means no company can pay for a place, a score, or a kinder sentence.
How Sadie works
The rule Sadie works to is simple: a number goes on the page only if it can be traced back to something the company itself published. Where a company does not publish a fee or a price, the review says so plainly rather than printing a guess dressed up as research. Our weighting leans hardest on guest experience (34%), setup (26%), and the same rubric is applied to every company in the field — the one we rank first included.
Where you will see Sadie’s work
Across our two rankings — management companies and host software — and in the individual reviews, which now run to 95 management companies and 74 software tools, each on its own page with the provider’s published facts laid out in full.
