Turnover Time vs. Turno: Which Is Right for Your Rentals?
If you’re comparing cleaning-coordination tools for your Airbnb or VRBO properties, Turno (formerly TurnoverBnB) is probably already on your shortlist — it’s the most established name in the space. Here’s an honest look at how it compares to Turnover Time, so you can pick the right fit instead of the more familiar name.
| Turnover Time | Turno | |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner needs an app | No — text and reply YES/NO | Yes, dedicated cleaner app |
| In-app payments to cleaners | No | Yes |
| Automatic calendar sync | Yes, Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings via iCal | Yes |
| Reminders in English or Spanish, set per cleaner | Yes | Yes |
| Photo checklists | No | Yes |
The core difference
Turno is built around a cleaner marketplace — it helps you find and pay cleaners, on top of scheduling them. Turnover Time does one thing: it keeps the cleaners you already have informed automatically, with no marketplace, no in-app payments, and no per-clean fees.
If you already have reliable cleaners and just want them reminded reliably, that difference matters more than any feature list.
Pricing
- Turnover Time, 1 property: $5/mo.
- Turnover Time, 3 properties: $12/mo.

Billing model — Turnover Time: flat per-property tier. Turno: per-property, billed monthly or annually.
Feature comparison
When Turno makes more sense
If you don’t have cleaners yet, Turno’s marketplace is a real advantage — it connects you with vetted local cleaners in most US markets, which Turnover Time doesn’t do at all. And if you want to handle cleaner payments inside the same tool you use for scheduling, Turno’s in-app payment processing covers that end-to-end.
When Turnover Time makes more sense
If you already have cleaners you trust and just want them reliably reminded — with a calendar snapshot image, not just a bare text — Turnover Time is built specifically for that, without paying for a marketplace or payment processing you won’t use. It’s also the simpler lift for your cleaners: no app to download, no account to create, just a text message they can reply to from any phone.
Bottom line
Turno is the better fit if you’re actively looking for cleaners or want payments handled in-app. Turnover Time is the better fit if that part’s already solved and you just want the coordination piece to stop being manual.
