Best for scheduling cleanings between rental guests
Properly schedules turnovers from your booking calendar and has cleaners send photos as proof the job was done. The catch is the price per property: $12.99 a month adds up fast, direct sync with your booking software needs the $14.99 Pro plan, and the photo review is another $5 every time.
Who Properly is for
- Fits if you own a handful of rentals and want cleanings booked from the calendar without texting people
- Works for hosts who want a photo of every room before the next guest arrives
Who Properly is not for
- Skip it if you want your booking software linked directly, because that starts at $14.99 on Pro
- Tight if you plan to use the photo review, as it's $5 an inspection on top of the plan
- Pricey if you have a big portfolio, since both plans charge per property and bigger portfolios are sent to custom pricing
- Not for you if you want a full booking system, because this handles cleaning and operations only
- Watch out: Cohost Pro starts at $119 per property a month and Guest Support Plus at $149 per listing
Why Properly gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$12.99 per property a month, under the $15.99 where the category's cheaper quarter ends. But it is per property, so ten homes is $130 a month, and Pro is $14.99.
- CFree plan and trialA 30-day trial with no card needed, and then nothing free. A month is enough to try the scheduler, not to see a full season of cleanings.
- CFeaturesAuto-scheduling, photo checklists, a cleaner marketplace and reports. The listing shows gaps: Standard syncs by iCal only, and photo review by a person is a separate charge.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and you have to link your calendars and set up checklists before it does anything. Mobile apps for iOS and Android.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Airbnb and iCal sync and direct sync to Guesty, Hostaway and other booking systems on Pro. No desktop app.

Keep Properly, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Properly you could make: job scheduling, tasks and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $155.88 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, tasks and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Airbnb, Guesty and Hostaway among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Properly’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
