Turnover Time vs. Hospitable: You Don’t Need a Full PMS Just to Text Your Cleaner
Hospitable is a full property management system — guest messaging, dynamic pricing, direct booking websites, and yes, cleaning coordination too. If cleaning reminders are the main thing you’re paying for, it’s worth asking whether you need the rest of what comes with it.
| Turnover Time | Hospitable | |
|---|---|---|
| Guest messaging automation | No | Yes |
| Dynamic pricing | No | Yes |
| Direct booking website | No | Yes |
| Calendar sync, Airbnb, VRBO, and direct | Yes | Yes |
| Setup time | About 10 minutes | Hours, more to configure |
| Focus | Cleaning coordination only | Full property management |
The core difference
Hospitable manages your whole guest and booking operation. Turnover Time manages one part of it — making sure your cleaners know what’s happening and when — at a fraction of the cost, because it’s not trying to be everything else too.
Pricing
- Turnover Time, 1 property: $5/mo.
- Turnover Time, 3 properties: $12/mo.
- Turnover Time, 7 properties: $26/mo.
Hospitable’s pricing depends heavily on which features you use — dynamic pricing and direct booking sites cost more than the base plan. If cleaning coordination is most of what you need, you’re likely paying for a lot of unused capability.
Feature comparison
When Hospitable makes more sense
If you’re managing guest communication, pricing strategy, and direct bookings across several properties, Hospitable’s all-in-one approach genuinely saves you from stitching together multiple tools. For hosts who want a single system running everything, that consolidation has real value.
When Turnover Time makes more sense
If you’re already happy with how you handle guest messaging and pricing — through Airbnb and VRBO directly, or another tool — and cleaning coordination is the one piece still running on texts and spreadsheets, Turnover Time solves exactly that gap without asking you to migrate your whole operation or pay for features you’ll never open.
Bottom line
Hospitable makes sense if you want one platform running everything. Turnover Time makes sense if you just want the cleaning piece handled well, without paying full PMS pricing for it.
