The published facts, in plain English
Changeover is Cleaning scheduler. Published pricing: 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
This service suits Ohio Valley property owners who prioritise direct communication with their cleaning teams, particularly if they don't use a property management system (PMS). Its niche focus means it's best for those seeking a dedicated tool for scheduling and alerts rather than a comprehensive management solution.
Our take
Changeover provides WhatsApp alerts for cleaners and operates independently of a PMS, which can be a significant advantage for owners managing their own bookings. The pricing starts at £6 per property per month when paid annually, and a 30-day trial is available. However, the feature set is described as shallow, and it is considered a niche product, suggesting it may lack the depth of more established platforms.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, Changeover shows From £6/property/mo (annual); 30-day trial and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Changeover is a simple, affordable option for direct cleaner communication, but its limited features may not suit all owners. For a more robust, owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What to pin down with 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.
