Turno alternatives for managers running their own team
Once you have your own cleaners, the tool you need has to do more than book them. Same-day turnovers, faults caught before check-in, restocking, contractor costs and the owner's monthly payout all have to land in one place. Here are the five platforms worth shortlisting — and why Torro is built for all of it.
A marketplace solves hiring. It does not run your operation.
Booking a cleaner is one job out of ten. The ones that actually cost you money are the same-day turnover nobody resequenced, the broken boiler reported at 11am for a 3pm check-in, the towels nobody replaced, the contractor invoice nobody can reconcile, and the owner statement you rebuild in a spreadsheet every month.
The five platforms below all assume you have people. They differ in how much of that list they actually cover, how they are packaged, and which PMS platforms they support.
Five alternatives, compared honestly
1. Torro — built for managers running their own team
An operations layer on top of your PMS: turnovers created automatically, assignment that respects real travel times, maintenance and missing items tracked to completion, contractor costs on record, and branded owner reports with the payout calculated. Built by operators who ran 50 apartments in Zagreb for five years — every feature was tested on that operation first.
- Packaging: one plan, every feature included, price published for any portfolio size — no modules, no add-ons, no minimum fee, no quote
- Best for: managers and agencies from 5 apartments to 300+, with their own team or partner companies
- Live in about an hour after the demo: connect the PMS, add the team, jobs start generating
2. Breezeway — the modular enterprise platform
Operations, inspections, inventory and asset management, plus guest messaging, digital guidebooks, smart locks and a 24/7 support desk sold as separate add-ons. 40+ PMS partners and a dedicated implementation team.
- Packaging: an entry plan is published for the smallest portfolios; larger portfolios are quoted, and guest tools are a-la-carte
- Best for: large portfolios and hotel-style operators who want one vendor for everything
- Where it stops: most portfolios cannot see a price without a sales call, onboarding is a project, and it bills in US dollars
3. Operto Teams — scheduling with deep inventory
Formerly VRScheduler. Drag-and-drop scheduling, staff time tracking with automated payroll reports, maintenance, inventory with automated reorders and owner billing, vendor dashboards and 150+ published integrations.
- Packaging: sold as part of the Operto suite alongside Access and Guest; its public pricing page did not load when we checked
- Best for: managers who schedule by hand and want inventory and payroll reporting
- Where it stops: no published price to check, assignment is calendar-driven rather than travel-time aware, and it bills in US dollars
4. Properly — photo-based quality control
Photo-driven checklists and an autoscheduler, with a provider network alongside your own team, plus an add-on where experienced inspectors review turnover photos before check-in. Managed co-hosting is sold separately.
- Packaging: published self-service tiers, then per-inspection and managed-service fees on top
- Best for: hosts whose problem is cleaning standards and proof rather than coordination
- Where it stops: reports and dashboards only — no maintenance work orders, no contractor costs and no owner-payout reporting published
5. Sweeply — hotel-style housekeeping board
Task and housekeeping management with real-time unit status and SOP-style checklists, sold as separate housekeeping, maintenance and guest modules and priced per sellable room. Euro-billed, with a PMS connection required.
- Packaging: modular — housekeeping, maintenance and guest features are bought separately, and a monthly minimum applies to every account
- Best for: hotels, hostels and aparthotels that think in rooms rather than apartments
- Where it stops: the monthly minimum makes it poor value below hotel scale, and contractor costs, travel-time assignment and owner payouts are not published
The five, compared on what matters
A capability is only marked missing where the vendor's own material says so; where we could not verify it, the cell says “not published”. No prices are quoted on purpose — every vendor on this list changes them, ours included.
