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 Baker City.
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
On the published figures alone, Turno shows Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners 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.
What the published record signals
Turno files under Cleaning marketplace; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. The free tier is the sensible on-ramp: put it on one live listing and let a real booking cycle do the judging. On cost, the published Free (1 prop / marketplace-only); $10/mo BYO cleaners 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 Turno’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Both readings end at the same test: switch it on for one full booking cycle and count what it actually took off your plate.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius — 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. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

What to pin down with 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.
