Turno built its name on one thing: a marketplace that connects Airbnb hosts with vetted cleaners and auto-schedules turnovers off your calendar. That works well if you need to find a cleaner. But plenty of hosts already have a cleaner they trust and want something Turno was never built to do — catch a missed checkout message, track maintenance, prove a clean actually happened, or fold cleaning into one flat-price automation stack instead of a standalone tool.
This is the multi-tool roundup. If you only want a head-to-head, we already wrote a focused Turno vs BnBGenius comparison and a deeper single-alternative breakdown for cleaning. Here we line up five real options side by side — Breezeway, ResortCleaning, Properly, NowIStay, and BnBGenius Task Loop — and tell you honestly which one fits a 1-to-5-listing host versus a 50-unit operation. Prices below were verified in June 2026.
Quick comparison: Turno alternatives at a glance
| Tool | Best for | Pricing (2026) | Key feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breezeway | Pro managers, 10+ units | $19/unit/mo, higher tiers by quote | Full operations + maintenance |
| ResortCleaning | Cleaning companies, PMs | ~$5/property/mo, $20/mo minimum | Housekeeping scheduling + payroll |
| Properly | Quality control on turnovers | ~$69/month (up to 5 properties)/mo, scales to ~$5 | Photo-proof checklists + AI inspection |
| NowIStay | Hosts wanting AI co-host + cleaning | ~EUR 9/property/mo | AI guest messaging + cleaning coordination |
| BnBGenius Task Loop | Self-managing hosts, 1-5 listings | $10/mo flat, all listings | Auto-creates cleaning tasks from guest comms |
None of these is a clone of Turno. Each solves a different slice of the turnover problem, so the right pick depends entirely on whether you manage your own listings or run a cleaning operation for others.
Breezeway — operations-grade, built for property managers
Breezeway is the heavyweight of this list. It is an official Airbnb Software Partner and goes far beyond cleaning into a full property-care platform: customizable inspection checklists, automated cleaner scheduling and payment, work-order tracking, inventory monitoring, and vendor management. The mobile app supports 12-plus languages and lets field teams attach photo proof and severity levels to every task.
Its standout trick is review analytics tied to specific tasks — if a guest dings you for cleanliness, Breezeway can link that review back to the exact turnover record so you can find the root cause. That is genuinely useful at scale, and something our Task Loop does not do.
- Pricing: Free for 1 property (trial); Host Essentials starts at $19/unit/month for under 5 properties
- Higher tiers: Essential Ops, Operations Pro, and the Guest Experience Suite all require a custom sales quote
- Add-ons: Guest Messaging, Breezeway Guide, and 24/7 Assist are priced separately on top
- Founded: 2017, Boston; built by the FlipKey founder
Who it is for: professional managers with 10+ units who need maintenance and inventory in one system. For a 3-listing host, $19/unit means roughly $57+/month before any messaging add-ons — and most plans hide behind a sales call. We go deeper in our Breezeway vs BnBGenius comparison.
ResortCleaning — housekeeping software for cleaning companies
ResortCleaning is the most operations-specialized name here, and it is openly aimed at professional vacation-rental managers and cleaning companies rather than solo hosts. Think of it as back-office software for a housekeeping business: powerful scheduling and dispatch, time tracking, billing and invoicing, payment processing, and payroll reporting.
It connects cleaning companies to property-management clients through its own network and integrates with QuickBooks plus PMSes like Escapia, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Lodgify, and OwnerRez. If you run a crew that services dozens of units across multiple owners, this is built for you.
- Pricing: free tier plus paid plans from ~$5/property/month (unlimited appointments) or ~$1.39/appointment
- Minimum: ~$20/month for small accounts
- Focus: dispatch, payroll, invoicing — a cleaning business tool, not a host automation tool
Who it is for: cleaning companies and managers coordinating large teams. A self-managing host with two listings will find most of the feature set — payroll, dispatch, invoicing — is overhead they will never touch.
Properly — quality control and photo-proof turnovers
Properly takes a narrower, sharper angle: turnover quality. You walk each room once to capture step-by-step photo instructions (in 8 languages), and from then on your cleaner follows that visual checklist and must upload photo proof for every task — they cannot mark a job done without it. You review timestamped photos from your phone and catch a missed bed or dirty counter before the guest arrives.
For hosts who want extra assurance, Properly offers AI inspection at ~$5 per turnover: AI flags issues in each photo and a human reviewer confirms them. It also includes a cleaner marketplace, so like Turno it can help you find staff.
- Pricing: starts at $69/month (up to 5 properties), scaling down toward ~$5 as you grow; free trial available
- Add-on: ~$5/turnover for AI-plus-human inspection
- Strength: photo-proof accountability and remote inspection
Who it is for: hosts whose number-one pain is inconsistent cleaning quality and who want visual evidence every turnover. Pair this thinking with our Airbnb cleaning checklist to standardize what good looks like.
NowIStay — AI co-host with cleaning coordination at EUR 9
NowIStay bundles cleaning into a broader AI co-host product. Its AI answers guest messages on Airbnb and Booking.com 24/7 in 90-plus languages, runs a digital welcome guide with an upsell shop, and — relevant here — coordinates with cleaning teams for early check-in and late-checkout requests autonomously. In 2026 it added WhatsApp messaging, smart-lock integrations, and PriceLabs dynamic pricing.
- Pricing: starts at ~EUR 9/month per property, flat regardless of revenue
- Strength: AI guest messaging plus light cleaning coordination in one tool
- Note: cleaning is coordination, not a full dispatch or payroll system — and it does not cover VRBO
Who it is for: hosts who want an AI co-host first and cleaning coordination as a bonus. Worth noting the price is per property, so at 5 listings you are near EUR 45/month — fine for one unit, less so as you scale.
BnBGenius Task Loop — cleaning tasks that create themselves
Task Loop approaches turnovers from a completely different direction, and it is why we put it last. Instead of being a cleaner marketplace or a payroll system, Task Loop watches your guest communications and auto-creates the task the moment something needs to happen. A guest messages “checking out early” or “the shower is leaking” — Task Loop catches it, creates a cleaning or maintenance task, and mobilizes your ground team, without you copy-pasting into a group chat.
It installs as a Chrome extension in about 5 minutes. There are no API keys and no login sharing — it reads your own Airbnb and VRBO dashboards right in your browser, so credentials never leave your machine. And cleaning is just one of five products in the bundle alongside Voice Concierge, Review Automation, Telegram Control, and Upsell Engine.
- Free: first 500 messages, all features unlocked
- Pro: $10/month flat — unlimited everything, any number of listings, no contracts
- Setup: ~5-minute Chrome extension, no API keys, no credential sharing
- Platforms: Airbnb and VRBO
Take Maria, a host with three Austin listings. Her cleaner is already booked and reliable, so a marketplace is useless to her. What kills her week is the 11pm “we’re leaving at 7am, fridge is broken” message that gets buried. With Task Loop, that single message spawns an early-clean task and a maintenance ticket automatically, her cleaner and handyman both get pinged, and Maria pays $10 flat for all three listings — not $19 per unit, not EUR 9 per property. For more on this exact workflow, see managing a cleaning team without text chains.
Honest limit: Task Loop is not a cleaner marketplace — you bring your own team, the same as Breezeway. It also does not do payroll, dispatch routing, or maintenance inventory the way ResortCleaning and Breezeway do. If you need those, the enterprise tools win.

Who should use what — the honest matrix
- You run a cleaning company or manage 50+ units: ResortCleaning for dispatch and payroll, or Breezeway for full property-care operations.
- You manage 10+ units and need maintenance plus reviews tied to tasks: Breezeway, and budget for the add-ons.
- Your biggest pain is inconsistent clean quality: Properly, for photo-proof and AI inspection.
- You want one AI tool to message guests and nudge cleaners, one listing at a time: NowIStay (Airbnb and Booking.com only).
- You self-manage 1-5 Airbnb or VRBO listings, already have a cleaner, and want cleaning folded into one $10 automation bundle: BnBGenius Task Loop.
- You mainly need to find a vetted cleaner: stay on Turno or use Properly’s marketplace — that is not what we do.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Turno alternative for a small host?
we’re the cheapest for multiple listings at $10/month flat for any number of properties. Per-property tools like ResortCleaning (~$5) and NowIStay (~EUR 9) look cheap for one unit but multiply with each listing, while Breezeway’s $19/unit adds up fastest.
Do any of these include a cleaner marketplace like Turno?
Properly includes a cleaner marketplace and ResortCleaning runs a property-management network. Breezeway, NowIStay, and BnBGenius do not — they assume you already have a cleaning team and focus on coordinating it.
Which alternative is best for cleaning quality control?
Properly is purpose-built for this: every task requires photo proof, and you can add AI-plus-human inspection for ~$5 per turnover. Breezeway also offers checklists with photo proof for larger teams.
Can BnBGenius schedule and pay my cleaners like Breezeway?
No. Task Loop auto-creates and assigns tasks from guest messages and your calendar, but it does not run cleaner payroll or invoicing. For dispatch and payment, Breezeway or ResortCleaning are stronger. See our task management software comparison.
Does BnBGenius work with VRBO as well as Airbnb?
Yes. We read both your Airbnb and VRBO dashboards through our Chrome extension. NowIStay, by contrast, covers Airbnb and Booking.com but not VRBO.
How is Task Loop different from a standard cleaning app?
Most cleaning apps wait for you to create a job. Task Loop reads your guest comms and creates the job itself when a checkout, early departure, or maintenance issue appears — turning messages into action automatically. Browse more options in our best Airbnb cleaning apps guide.
Do I need to share my Airbnb password with these tools?
Most cleaning platforms connect via PMS integrations or account access. we’re the exception — our Chrome extension reads your dashboard locally with no API keys and no login sharing, so credentials never leave your browser.

Bottom line: Turno wins on its marketplace, the enterprise tools win on dispatch and maintenance depth, and Properly wins on photo-proof quality. But if you self-manage a handful of listings, already have a cleaner, and want turnovers handled inside one flat-price stack with no API keys, our Task Loop is the most practical pick.
