6 Best Properly Alternatives for Turnovers (2026)

Written by Punn Kam, ex-Google AI engineer and Y Combinator repeat founder. He is the co-founder of Conduit, an AI agent platform built for hospitality, serving 300+ hospitality brands in 140+ languages. Last updated October 7, 2026.

The best Properly alternative for vacation rental turnovers depends on how you check a clean. Conduit pairs photo-required checklists with RapidEye video inspections and turns findings into tasks. Breezeway requires photo uploads and runs automated inspections. Guesty, Hospitable, Hostaway and Operto Teams each document one verification step, mostly inside a PMS or a staff app.

Why do property managers look for a Properly alternative?

Property managers usually look past Properly when per-property and per-inspection fees stack up as the portfolio grows. Properly's pricing page lists Platform Standard at $12.99 per property per month and Platform Pro at $14.99, and Real-Time Inspection costs $5 per inspection on top. A 30-property manager on Pro pays $449.70 a month, and inspecting 6 turnovers per property each month adds $900.

Integration used to be a second reason, and it no longer holds. Properly's Platform Pro plan, at $14.99 per property per month, includes API access and direct integration with Guesty, Hostaway, and 10+ PMS platforms (an older help article still says the API is for Custom subscribers only). For what happens after an inspection flags something, Properly sells the guest side as managed services, Cohost Pro from $119 per active property per month and Guest Support Plus at $149 per listing, so the repair and the guest conversation often live outside the inspection tool.

How did we rank these Properly alternatives?

Each Properly alternative is ranked by how many of three verification steps the vendor's own pages describe: photo proof on checklists, an inspection product or inspection task type, and damage findings that become tasks without someone retyping them. Properly's own page covers the first two. Ties go to the vendor that publishes a price, then alphabetical. We read every vendor page on October 7, 2026, and a cell marked "not published" means we could not find the item there.

What are the best Properly alternatives for turnovers?

Six Properly alternatives made the list. Conduit documents all three verification steps, with the inspection itself done by RapidEye, and Breezeway documents two. Guesty, Hospitable, Hostaway and Operto Teams each document one, and each entry says which step it is and links the page that says so, with a price wherever the vendor publishes one.

1. Conduit (3 of 3)

Conduit checks a turnover in three layers and keeps the result next to the guest conversation. Checklist steps can require a photo before they close. RapidEye's AI reviews the walkthrough video, and through Conduit's RapidEye integration each finding (room, severity of minor, moderate or major, category of damage, cleaning or lost item, and the video timestamp) becomes a Conduit task. The task holds the finding and photos; the video itself stays with RapidEye.

Task created is a trigger, so a workflow can assign the repair and notify the owner, or an agent can draft the message to the last guest about the damage. Agents work from their own instructions, guardrails and per-connection tool allowlists, and can run in Copilot mode so a person approves the guest message about damage before it goes out. Full Suite starts at $48 per unit per month, and the Startup plan is $899 per month for 0 to 25 units (pricing).

Watch-out: RapidEye is a separate subscription, and default assignees for repair tasks are set per property and task category.

2. Breezeway (2 of 3)

Breezeway documents photo proof and inspections. Its home page says you can "ensure quality cleans and inspections by requiring photo uploads from your field staff" and offers "automated inspection processes." Its Concierge suggests tasks from guest messages, but we found no Breezeway page describing inspection findings becoming tasks on their own. Breezeway is free for one property, and its Host Essentials plan starts at $19 per unit per month (the plan description says $19.99), with guest messaging as an add-on; higher plans are quoted (pricing). More in our Breezeway alternatives post.

3. Guesty (1 of 3)

Guesty documents the third step, starting from the guest review rather than an inspection. Its AI agents page lists a Review to Task Dispatcher that "creates a mandatory maintenance task whenever a guest review flags damage, odor, or cleanliness concerns." That catches a problem after a guest has complained, one stay later than an inspection would. Guesty Lite starts from $9 per listing per month for 1 to 3 listings and includes task management (pricing).

4. Hospitable (1 of 3)

Hospitable documents photo proof. Its Tasks page says teammates can "share pictures of the completed job." No inspection product or findings-to-task step is described. Hospitable's pricing page lists Tasks Manager, the Tasks App and Teammate Payouts on every plan, including the free Essentials plan, with payouts charged per clean. Our Hospitable review covers its messaging side.

5. Hostaway (1 of 3)

Hostaway documents inspections as a task type. The Hostaway AI page describes task management "for cleaning, maintenance, and inspections," with checklists and approval conditions per property in the Hostaway mobile app. Hostaway publishes no price. For a team already on Hostaway, the built-in inspection task is the cheapest thing to try first.

6. Operto Teams (1 of 3)

Operto Teams documents photo proof, with checklists that take both photo and video uploads on its product page. Its API creates a task with an image attached in one call, which a separate inspection tool could use to file a finding. Operto publishes no figures on its pricing page. The Operto review covers the rest of the suite.

How do Properly alternatives compare on verifying a turnover?

The table compares Properly and the six alternatives on the three verification steps, plus who reviews the evidence and the lowest published price. We filled each cell from the vendor's site on October 7, 2026, and wrote "not published" where the site does not say.

Is Properly still the right choice for some teams?

Properly is still a good fit for a small portfolio that wants published prices, cleaners scheduled from the booking calendar, and experienced reviewers checking each clean. The $5 Real-Time Inspection is a fair price for a second pair of eyes when you cannot visit every unit, and the 30-day free trial makes it cheap to test. Properly's Actionable Intelligence, priced by demo, builds property records with maintenance guidance and workflows from a walkthrough video.

The case for switching grows when the inspection result has to go somewhere: a repair task, a message to the last guest, or a note to the owner.
