Price of Airbnb Cleaning Software in 2026

How much does short-term rental cleaning software cost in 2026: three billing models, hidden fees, and how to calculate your real price.

8 min read

The advertised price of cleaning software means almost nothing. Three providers might claim “free”, “$8 per property”, and “€7.99 per month”, yet by year’s end, you could end up paying the opposite of what those figures suggest. It all comes down to the billing model and the fees that never appear on the pricing page. Here’s how to work out what you’ll actually pay, using Turno’s public rates as of August 2026 and CleanClac’s as of 9 October 2026.

The three models, and who benefits from each

Price per property

The most common model. You pay a fixed amount per property per month: Turno lists $10 monthly per property, or $96 per year per property on an annual plan, which works out to $8 per month.

This model is linear. Your bill grows exactly in line with your portfolio. It suits you if your portfolio is small and stable. It becomes painful beyond five properties, because the tenth property costs as much as the first, even though it doesn’t require ten times more work from the provider.

Tiered pricing

You pay according to a band based on the number of properties, and the average price per property drops as you grow. This is CleanClac’s model: the first property is free, with no time limit and no card required, and the subscription starts from the second property.

27.99€47.99€~4€
311.99€71.99€~6€
415.99€95.99€~8€
519.99€119.99€~10€
623.99€143.99€~12€
1039.99€239.99€~20€
2079.99€479.99€~40€

Beyond five properties, each additional property adds 4€ per month, or 24€ per year, which is 2€ per month. This model rewards growing portfolios without penalising smaller ones: at one property it costs nothing, just like a free plan, and it becomes much more cost-effective from four or five properties upwards.

Free with commission

You pay no subscription, the provider takes a cut from payments processed through their platform. Turno charges a 5% platform fee on every payment made via its marketplace, on the cleaner’s side, and applies payment processing fees to transactions.

This model is the hardest to predict, and it’s also the most expensive as your volume grows, because the commission tracks the number of cleans, not the number of properties.

The calculation, for three typical portfolios

Common assumption: six cleans per month per property, each clean paid €60 to the cleaner, which is at the top end for a one-bedroom flat outside Paris (€28 to €45) or the going rate for a Parisian one-bed (€40 to €58), according to BNB Cleaning’s 2026 figures. Turno’s prices are in dollars, CleanClac’s in euros: the comparison is indicative.

One property. Turno is free, even with your own cleaner. CleanClac is also free, with scheduling, iCal sync, checklists, photo proof, inventory, guest card, and one cleaner. At this level, price is no longer a differentiator.

Five properties, your own team. Turno comes to about $50 per month, or $40 on an annual plan. CleanClac charges 19.99€ per month, or 119.99€ per year, which is about 10€ per month. The difference ranges from two and a half times higher on monthly to four times higher on annual.

Five properties, marketplace cleaners. The Turno subscription drops to zero, but 30 monthly cleans at €60 each totals €1,800 in services, with 5% commission, so €90 per month in platform fees, and €1,080 per year. This is the most expensive scenario of the three, and it’s the one advertised as “free”.

The detailed reasoning on commission, with a plan to avoid it, is in our article on alternatives to Turno without commission.

The six lines missing from the pricing page

1. Cost per team member. Some providers charge per user. With four cleaners and a co-manager, your bill could double even if your property count stays the same. Ask before signing: “how much for the fifth cleaner”. At CleanClac, cleaners never pay anything; the free account includes one, and with a subscription, cleaners and co-managers are unlimited, at no extra cost.

2. Banking fees. As soon as the tool pays your team on your behalf, there are card or transfer fees. With Turno, discounted ACH transfers are only for US accounts, which is no use from Europe, and a minimum $1.50 applies to payments to cleaners outside the marketplace. A tool that doesn’t handle your money, like CleanClac, has no such line: you pay your cleaner directly, by transfer, cash, invoice, or CESU.

3. Currency. A subscription in dollars exposes you to exchange rates and, often, conversion fees from your bank. On $80 per month, a two-point exchange rate difference is about €20 per year: not much, but another line on your accountant’s statement.

4. Billing threshold. Check when a property becomes billable. With Turno, a property is billable as soon as an external cleaner is activated. With CleanClac, the subscription starts from the second active property.

5. Adding properties mid-term. What happens if you add a property mid-year? With CleanClac, you only pay the difference, pro rata for the current period. A PMS that imports more properties than your subscription covers will automatically adjust your subscription, with a notification and an “Adjusted subscription” email.

6. Leaving. What does it cost to leave? Rarely money, often time: your cleaning history won’t transfer from one tool to another. Plan to keep read-only access to the old tool during the transition. As for commitment, CleanClac can be cancelled from the app, at any time, with no notice and no fees.

Common mistakes when comparing prices

Comparing a monthly to an annual divided by month. Turno’s $8 and CleanClac’s €10 for five properties are both annual prices divided by month. Always put both pricing tables in the same format.

Forgetting cleans. A commission looks small on one clean, but adds up over three hundred a year. Multiply by your real number of cleans.

Paying for what you don’t use. A pool of cleaners is worthless if you already have your own team; a proprietary invoicing module is pointless if you don’t have mandates.

Overlooking time. A free tool that forces you to call your cleaner every Saturday costs more than a subscription that saves you those calls.

The right question to ask

It’s not “which is cheapest”, it’s “what am I growing”.

If what’s growing is the number of cleans (short stays, high occupancy, around 63% on average in France in 2025 according to PriceLabs), avoid commission: it tracks that growth exactly.

If what’s growing is the number of properties, avoid per-property pricing beyond five, and look for a tiered plan.

If what’s growing is the team size, avoid per-user pricing.

And if nothing is growing, if you have one property and will never have two, you’ll pay nothing at CleanClac either: the first property is free, with no time limit and no card required. At this level, price is no longer a differentiator; what matters is what the free offer is funding elsewhere. For a management company, the cost of cleaning software is on top of the PMS: see our overview of management software in France.

How to measure if the tool is worth the price

Count in hours, not euros. A tool that saves you two calls and one on-site check per week gives you back several hours a month. To check this in practice, look at the figures the tool gives you. In CleanClac, Reports (Menu) show, over a month or a year, by property or by cleaner, activity, real time spent, total paid to cleaners (per clean, per night, linen share), and the average arrival condition score. Each cleaner’s rate is set per property, per clean or per hour: if no rate is entered, no price is shown.

A rate per cleaner

Per cleaning or hourly, each cleaner has their own pay on each property.

More details

Two ways to lower your bill further: a promo code entered at payment (“I have a promo code” block), and referral, which gives the referred user 25% off one payment. Details are on the CleanClac pricing page. For a tool-by-tool overview, read our guide to choosing cleaning software.

Your questions

How much does cleaning software cost for a single property?

Often nothing. A marketplace like Turno is free for one property, taking its cut from marketplace services. At CleanClac, the first property is free with no time limit or card required, including scheduling, iCal sync, checklists, photo proof, inventory, and one cleaner. What sets free offers apart is what they fund.

Monthly or annual?

Annual, once you’ve validated the tool. The difference is about 20% with many providers, and even more with others: at CleanClac, two properties cost 7.99€ per month or 47.99€ per year, about 4€ per month, half the price. Start with your free property to test the tool on real cleans, then choose your plan.

Do prices change often?

Yes. Turno charged $8 per property per month in 2024, it’s $10 in 2026. Any comparison more than a year old should be checked again on the provider’s site, including this one.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Rarely on monthly plans, which end at the close of the current period. The annual plan is paid up front: that’s what funds the discount. At CleanClac, you can cancel your subscription from the app (Menu, then “Manage my subscription”) at any time, with no notice or fees.

How much does cleaning software cost for ten properties?

With a provider charging per property like Turno, about $100 per month, or $80 on an annual plan. At CleanClac, 39.99€ per month or 239.99€ per year, about 20€ per month. Add, depending on the model, commissions and payment fees, which track your cleans.

Do you have to pay extra to connect your PMS?

At CleanClac, PMS connection is included in the subscription, at no extra cost: it’s reserved for subscribers, meaning from the second property onwards. Nine PMS are connected: Beds24, Smoobu, Lodgify, Hostaway, Guesty, SuperHote, Uplisting, Hostfully, and GuestWisely. Without a PMS, iCal sync is open to all.
