The Overview

Scheduling vs. verification — why the difference matters

Turno (formerly TurnoverBnB) is built around one core promise: get a cleaner scheduled automatically whenever a guest checks out. That is genuinely useful. But scheduling a clean is only half the job. Properly takes you through to the other side — verifying the clean was done right.

Recommended

Properly

A full-stack STR operations platform combining automated scheduling, photo checklists, a vetted cleaner marketplace, and a remote inspection team that reviews every turnover. Properly closes the loop between "cleaning scheduled" and "property confirmed guest-ready." Properly is AI-native: Actionable Intelligence onboarding, standalone Real-Time Inspection, and managed cohosting through Cohost Pro or Guest Support Plus are distinct offers alongside the self-service Platform.

Alternative

Turno

A cleaning coordination platform focused on auto-scheduling, cleaner matching, and payment automation. Turno excels at reducing manual calendar management, but offers no independent verification of cleaning quality and charges transaction fees per clean.

Common frustrations with Turno

Turno host payment fees are 8% by card or 5% by US ACH for marketplace cleaners, and 3.9% by card or 1.5% by US ACH for invited cleaners. The minimum fee is $1.50 USD. These are payment fees, not inspection charges.

Properly and Turno are available internationally; local cleaner coverage and payment options vary. Properly provides 24/7 live support in every language.

Turno has no independent quality verification. If a cleaner submits photos but missed the master bathroom, Turno will not catch it. Properly's inspection team will.

Turno's cleaner verification process is cumbersome — requiring detailed ID documentation that makes onboarding slow, especially for smaller or informal cleaning teams.

Where Properly Wins

The Properly advantage

01

The Only Inspection Layer

Properly's remote inspection team reviews every clean and issues a pass or fail with specific photo feedback. Turno has no equivalent — it is scheduling software only. With Properly, your property is truly verified, not just cleaned.

02

Global Coverage

Properly and Turno are available internationally; local cleaner coverage and payment options vary. Properly provides 24/7 live support in every language.

03

No Hidden Transaction Fees

For marketplace card payments, $100 per clean and 10–12 cleans a month means $80–$96 in host payment fees. Marketplace-only use has no subscription fee; other subscription conditions differ. Properly has no per-clean transaction fee; optional inspections cost $5 each.

04

70% Fewer Cleaning Errors

The combination of photo checklists and a dedicated inspection team creates accountability that scheduling software cannot replicate. Properly hosts see measurable drops in guest complaints from missed items.

05

1+ Hour Saved Per Turnover

Remote inspections mean you do not need to physically visit the property to verify cleaning quality. Properly does it for you, remotely — saving over an hour per turnover.

06

Managed Services Available

Beyond software, Properly offers Cohost Pro as a managed remote operating layer for property managers, working with their systems and local vendors. Turno is software only — no managed service offering.

07

AI-native onboarding and assistant access

Actionable Intelligence turns a property walkthrough video into property records and operating workflows as a separate onboarding offer. Read-only connectors let your team access Properly from Claude and ChatGPT. For Real-Time Inspection, AI flags potential issues and an expert reviewer verifies every flag.

Turno tells you a cleaner is done. Properly tells you the job was done right.

Third-party verification — the gap that scheduling software cannot close.
