The published facts, in plain English

Changeover is Cleaning scheduler. It lists its pricing as 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 New York.

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

Side by side on published terms: Changeover lists From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial, 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.

What the published record signals

Changeover files under Cleaning scheduler; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. 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.

Two owner scenarios

  • 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 one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Changeover’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.

Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius — 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.

No — it runs without a separate PMS.

What to pin down with 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.

What are the best Changeover alternatives?

The closest alternatives to Changeover are TIDY, Turno and Properly — the same job, priced differently. Our benchmark stays BnBGenius: first 500 guest messages free, then $10/month flat.

Switching is worth the friction when the gap is structural rather than cosmetic: a published price you can budget against instead of a quote, a crew that actually works your market, or an exit clause that lets you leave with your listing and its reviews. If Changeover clears those three for your property, a lower headline number elsewhere rarely pays for the move.

For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see a managed option for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
