Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 19 of the 29 other vacation rental tools we grade
Properly is a vacation rental operations platform. Its self-service Platform schedules turnovers from booking calendars and checks cleanings with photo checklists, and add-ons include paid photo inspection by reviewers and managed services where Properly's team handles guest support and operations. The site says it has served hosts since 2014.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Properly, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and you have to link your calendars and set up checklists before it does anything.
- 1
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.

As its pricing page puts it: $12.99 per property / month.

30-day free trial of the Platform, no credit card required

It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.

Autoscheduler
Turnovers and recurring jobs are scheduled automatically from the synced booking calendar.
- 6
Photo checklists
Unlimited checklists where cleaners submit photos as proof of completion.
- 7

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 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. |
| Features | C | Auto-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. |
| Ease of use | C | No 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Airbnb and iCal sync and direct sync to Guesty, Hostaway and other booking systems on Pro. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Hosts who want photo-verified cleanings scheduled automatically
- Small owners who can start at a few dollars per property a month
- Managers who want to hand guest support or operations to a managed team
Worth knowing
- Standard syncs through iCal; direct PMS integrations need the Pro plan.
- Photo inspection by reviewers is a separate $5 per inspection charge.
- Cohost Pro and Guest Support Plus are managed services; pricing and damage-claim help cost extra on Guest Support Plus.
- Portfolios are directed to custom pricing rather than a published volume rate.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
