Turno is Cleaning marketplace. Published pricing: Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners. There is a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: Largest cleaner marketplace; cleaning-only, free tier keeps narrowing.
Who it’s for
Turno is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in the Peak to Peak.
Our take
We list Turno’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: Turno lists Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners, 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 record says about fit
Turno files under Cleaning marketplace; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. The free tier is the sensible on-ramp: put it on one live listing and let a real booking cycle do the judging. Published pricing of Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Turno genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Turno’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
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 — run your rental from Telegram — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If Turno 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 Turno cost?
Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners.
Is there a free tier?
Yes.
Do you need a PMS to run Turno?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What we would ask Turno
- “Is Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Touch Stay — From ~$15/property/mo (calculator).
- iGMS — FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo.
- Zeevou — Free tier; paid £18.56–£21.66/unit/mo (3/10/50-unit mins).
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
