The published facts, in plain English

Changeover is Cleaning scheduler. It lists its pricing as 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 Maine.

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. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. 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 one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what Changeover’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 — 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

Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:

  • Track — Not published (demo).
  • Gustaf.ai — Free (2 listings); Premium $8/property/mo.
  • Conduit — $649/mo (Starter) / $1,499/mo (Growth, voice).

The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see automate it for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
