The published facts, in plain English
Changeover is Cleaning scheduler. Published pricing: From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: niche.
Data-desk note: WhatsApp cleaner alerts, no PMS; early-access, shallow feature set.
Who it’s for
Changeover is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in southern Idaho.
Our take
We list Changeover’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Changeover shows From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Reading the record
Category first: Changeover is Cleaning scheduler, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. On cost, the published From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial is the number to hold against your own hours saved.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read Changeover’s model with your exact count in mind.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Tasks — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Changeover beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does Changeover cost?
From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial.
Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.
Do you need a PMS to run Changeover?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Changeover
- “Is From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Boring Host AI — $13/listing/mo, $130/mo min; 14-day trial.
- Properly — $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 30-day trial.
- Touch Stay — From ~$15/property/mo (calculator).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius on Telegram for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
