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
This service is best suited for property owners who prioritise direct communication with their cleaning staff via WhatsApp and do not use a property management system (PMS). Its niche size suggests it caters to smaller operations or those with specific, streamlined needs.
Our take
Changeover provides a straightforward cleaning scheduling solution that bypasses the need for a PMS, a definite plus for some owners. The notable feature is its use of WhatsApp for cleaner alerts, offering a direct communication channel. However, the product is described as having a shallow feature set and being in early access, which may limit its utility for more complex operations.
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 offers a basic, WhatsApp-integrated cleaning scheduler for owners not using a PMS. For a more comprehensive, owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

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.
