Try Powtiva for 30 days, no commitment, no credit card
Receive your prepaid meter kit, install it in a few hours, and run electricity billing on your Airbnb rental for 30 days. If the system does not suit you, we refund you in full, no questions asked.
The 30-day free trial of an Airbnb prepaid meter, risk-free
Installing a submetering device in a furnished rental often feels like a technical and financial gamble. Many hosts hesitate to invest several hundred euros in a physical EDF meter or in a software solution without being able to test it under real conditions, with real guests, over at least one full booking cycle.
That is exactly why we created Powtiva's 30-day free trial. You receive the hardware, collect your first top-ups from guests, and concretely measure the drop in consumption observed on the ground, typically around 25 to 30% from the first equipped stay.
No credit card is required to start your trial: you commit only once you have seen the numbers from your own rental. This approach turns a strategic choice into a simple operational test, with a clear exit and a satisfaction guarantee during the first 30 days.
How your 30-day free trial works
Three simple steps to test Powtiva without financial risk
Order without a card
Reserve your kit online in 2 minutes, without entering a credit card. We ship the hardware within 48 business hours, with clear instructions and immediate access to your SaaS workspace.
Installation in 2 to 3 hours
A local electrician, or you yourself if you feel comfortable, installs the module in your electrical panel in half a day. Our teams support you by video call if needed, at no extra cost throughout the trial.
30 days of real use
Use the platform on your actual bookings: prepaid top-ups, included quotas, kWh dashboard. If you are not convinced after 30 days, we take the kit back and refund 100%.
A prepaid meter trial compliant with the furnished-rental framework
Rebilling electricity in short-term rentals relies on precise rules that Powtiva respects throughout your trial.
Article 23-1 of law 89-462
The French law article 23-1 of law 89-462 authorizes individual rebilling of energy consumption in short-term furnished rentals, provided it is based on real metering. Our submetering hardware delivers that count from day one of your trial.
No EDF meter modification
Our module sits downstream of your Linky meter, without touching the main breaker. Nothing irreversible, unlike installing a secondary EDF meter which legally binds the property.
Guest notices included
During the trial, we provide sample wording to include in your Airbnb listing and contract, notifying guests of real-time billing. A clean base to test without unpleasant surprises.
The advantages of Powtiva's 30-day free trial
A full test, with the same features as the paid version
Zero credit card at start
Unlike most SaaS products, we do not require a card imprint to launch your trial. You will never be charged by surprise at the end of the 30 days: you actively choose to continue, or send the kit back.
Satisfaction guarantee
If the experience fails to deliver, you get 100% of the kit and installation price back. We cover the return shipping. That is the safety net few competitors dare offer on physical hardware.
Reversible, unlike EDF
Installing a classic EDF meter in a rental locks the property for years and adds an extra subscription. Our kit uninstalls in 30 minutes and leaves no administrative trace. The trial is genuinely risk-free.
Full SaaS access
For 30 days, you get all the features: prepaid top-ups, included quotas per night, kWh statistics, notifications, multi-property. No limited version: you test the final product as it will run afterward.
