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 New York City.
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
Category first: Changeover is Cleaning scheduler, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. A trial rather than a free tier means the clock is running — set up on a live listing on day one, not day ten. 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.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — BnBGenius on Telegram — 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. Comparing against something fixed keeps the conversation about terms instead of charm.
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
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:
- Seam — Free dev tier; $5/device/mo → $50/device/mo.
- Turno — Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners.
- Escapia — Not published (demo).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see cleaning coordination for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
