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
Changeover is best for Montana property owners with a niche portfolio who need a straightforward way to manage cleaner schedules without integration into a larger property management system (PMS). Its focus on direct communication is ideal for those who prefer a simple, hands-on approach.
Our take
Changeover offers a budget-friendly cleaning scheduler starting at £6 per property per month when billed annually, with a 30-day trial available. Notably, it does not require a PMS connection. However, its feature set is described as shallow, with early-access features including WhatsApp alerts for cleaners, which is its primary advantage. This makes it a tool for basic scheduling needs.
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.
What the published record signals
Changeover files under Cleaning scheduler; 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. 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 remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task Changeover genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read Changeover’s model with your exact count in mind.
For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Tasks — 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. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
Changeover is a no-frills option for basic cleaner scheduling via WhatsApp, especially if you don't use a PMS. For a more comprehensive, owner-first solution, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to 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.
