More Operations reviews
- Airtasker
Airtasker is a UK gig marketplace where hosts can post Airbnb cleaning jobs and get bids from local Taskers (cleaners) within minutes. Typical cleaning costs range from £13–£40 per hour or £20–£300 per job depending on property size, location, and service level (regular turnover vs deep clean), with hosts setting their budget and Taskers proposing rates. It offers insurance up to £10,000 per task, ratings/reviews, and chat for coordination, but lacks PMS integrations, auto‑scheduling or cleaner‑ops workflows, making it a good backup or small‑volume option rather than a scaled STR cleaning solution.
- Handy
Handy is an on‑demand marketplace for home cleaning and handyman services in major cities that some STR hosts use for one‑off or recurring turnovers. It offers instant online pricing, app‑based booking, vetted pros, and a satisfaction guarantee, but doesn’t provide a true PMS integration, auto‑scheduling or cleaner performance workflows like dedicated STR cleaning platforms. Pricing is typically shown per job (e.g., flat quotes like a 4‑hour deep clean for ~$129 or average ~$100/hour in US reviews), making it convenient for occasional jobs but expensive and under‑automated for scaled portfolios.
- Cleanster
Cleanster is both a vetted cleaner marketplace (US/CA/UK) and a SaaS operations platform that automates vacation-rental cleaning using PMS/iCal sync, auto-scheduling, checklists, progress tracking, and messaging. You can either hire Cleanster marketplace cleaners or bring your own team and simply use the software. SaaS pricing starts around $3.99–$12 per property/month depending on tier and region, with unlimited bookings, checklists, properties, and team members, plus API, Slack/Zapier and PMS integrations (including iGMS). Strong fit if you want “one app” for marketplace + team ops globally.
- Touch Stay
Touch Stay is a digital guidebook platform that replaces printed welcome books with a mobile-friendly web app. Hosts create branded guidebooks with house rules, WiFi info, local recommendations, check-in instructions, and more. It integrates with 50+ PMS platforms for automatic booking sync and guest messaging, starting at $19/month for single-property hosts up to $199/month for large portfolios.
