The published facts, in plain English
Changeover is Cleaning scheduler. On cost, the published figure is 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 Pennsylvania.
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
Changeover files under Cleaning scheduler; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. 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.
Same tool, two situations
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Changeover genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- 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.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: no-PMS host automation — 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. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
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.
Questions to put to 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- AirDNA — Free tier; paid from ~$20/mo (market-size dependent).
- OwnerRez — From $40/mo (published ladder) + add-ons.
- Duve — From $120/$150/$200/mo minimum.
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see Airbnb management software for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
