What Qeepl does

Qeepl operates a two-sided online marketplace that connects travelers needing temporary luggage storage with local businesses that have underutilized physical space (hotels, cafes, shops, offices, warehouses). The platform operates as a self-serve consumer product — a map-based website and iOS/Android mobile application where travelers discover nearby storage locations, view availability, hours, pricing, and reviews, then complete booking and payment entirely online. The company monetizes by taking a commission on each booking; product pricing is usage-based at a per-bag daily rate (from US$3.50), with regional pricing variations (€4.39/day in Europe, S/10.90/day in Peru). Every booking automatically includes insurance coverage up to US$1,000/€1,000/S/4,000 per item.

The core technology stack is a map-based booking platform with native mobile apps, integrated with Stripe for payment processing and global payouts to host businesses. Supporting features include a host management dashboard for capacity/schedule/operating-hour configuration, a referral program with commission tracking (5% customer discount, 10–20% partner commission), and a localized website available in 22+ languages. The platform operates across 462 cities in 23+ countries, working with 2,004 registered hosts including enterprises such as Accor, UPS, FedEx, and Estafeta. Distribution is primarily product-led via organic SEO across hundreds of city-specific landing pages and a content marketing blog, supplemented by a referral/affiliate channel (Travelpayouts).

Commercially, Qeepl's go-to-market is consumer-led with no sales intervention required; travelers self-navigate the full booking flow, and local host businesses self-onboard into the supply side. The unit economics rest on a low variable cost-per-bag structure (no dedicated facility capex) and a transactional revenue model. According to company materials, the platform has served over 171,479 users and stored over 130,270 bags, with a 4.93/5.0 aggregate rating across 5,189 reviews. The company was founded in 2019 and is incorporated in Delaware, USA, with operating origins in Russia. The only disclosed funding is a February 2024 angel investment of ~2,000,000 RUB from business angel Ludmila Bulavkina, earmarked for geographic expansion and new product development.

Revenue model

1. Booking Commissions: Qeepl earns a commission on each luggage storage booking made through the platform. Hosts provide physical storage space (secure rooms, lockers, reception desks at local businesses) and Qeepl takes a share of the per-bag rental fee. The platform acts as an intermediary, handling bookings and payments between travelers (Renters) and local businesses (Hosts).
2. Investor Funding: Qeepl has received investment from business angel Ludmila Bulavkina totaling several million rubles. The funds are directed toward market expansion, entering new geographies, and developing additional services.

Product overview

Direct peers

• LuggageHero: Direct competitor operating a luggage storage marketplace connecting travelers with local shops and hotels; closest comparable in business model, host-partner network, and per-bag daily pricing structure.
• Bounce: Global luggage storage marketplace with comparable host-partner model, map-based booking, and insurance coverage; one of the largest and best-capitalized competitors in the category.
• Radical Storage: Luggage storage network operating across hundreds of cities with a bag-tag/QR-code drop-off model; directly comparable in target customer (travelers), host network (local shops), and pricing tier.
• Nannybag: European-headquartered luggage storage marketplace with hotels and shops as storage hosts; comparable in operational model, traveler pain point addressed, and partner-driven supply.
• Vertoe: On-demand luggage storage service targeting business and leisure travelers with vetted local partners; directly comparable in use case, insurance inclusion, and per-bag pricing.
• CityStasher: UK and EU luggage storage marketplace targeting travelers with vetted shop and hotel hosts; comparable in pricing structure, target persona, and partner onboarding model.

Emerging players

• StowEasy: Smaller luggage storage marketplace with similar host-partner economics; competes in overlapping US/EU cities but with narrower geographic coverage.
• BagsAway: Airline-crew and traveler luggage storage platform serving as both a B2B and B2C marketplace; relevant comparable for the corporate-travel and airline-crew customer overlap.

Regional players

• LUGGit: Italy-focused luggage storage and delivery startup serving travelers via hotels and local shops; relevant peer for European market dynamics and host economics, though geographically narrower.

Broad incumbents

• Accor (hospitality partner): Global hotel operator whose brands (Ibis, Novotel, Mercure) already serve as Qeepl storage hosts; broader incumbent that could internalize luggage storage as a guest amenity and disintermediate Qeepl.
