The published facts, in plain English
Properly is Cleaning ops (photo checklists). On cost, the published figure is $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 30-day trial. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Best visual checklists; PMS API paywalled, inspections billed per turnover.
Who it’s for
This service suits owners who prioritise detailed visual confirmation of cleaning tasks. It's best for those seeking a straightforward, app-based solution for managing cleaning staff without needing a full property management system integration.
Our take
Properly's core strength lies in its photo checklist feature, allowing for clear documentation of cleaning standards. While it offers a 30-day trial, its pricing is per property monthly, and the data-desk notes that the PMS API is paywalled, with inspections billed separately per turnover. This model may lead to unexpected costs for hosts with frequent turnovers.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Properly shows $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 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.
Verdict
Properly is a decent choice for visually focused cleaning management, though potential costs for inspections and API access should be carefully considered. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Properly
- “Is $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 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.
