Turno is Cleaning marketplace. On cost, the published figure is Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners. There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Largest cleaner marketplace; cleaning-only, free tier keeps narrowing.
Who it’s for
Turno is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Pennsylvania.
Our take
We list Turno’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Turno lists Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Reading the record
Turno files under Cleaning marketplace; 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: the free tier on a single listing, through at least one busy weekend. Published pricing of Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Turno genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Turno’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius Voice — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Turno 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 Turno cost?
Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners.
Is there a free tier?
Yes.
Do you need a PMS to run Turno?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Turno
- “Is Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners 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:
- Rentals United — Not published (quote, 5+ props).
- Breezeway — Free (1 prop); from $19/unit/mo + add-ons.
- Beds24 — From ~€15.50/mo + per-channel fees.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see host ops from your phone for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
