TurnHiveTurnHive vs Hostaway: one job, a public price, no sales call
Hostaway is a complete property-management platform: channel management across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and more, AI guest messaging, pricing tools, reviews. It's sold through a demo, and the price is quoted on your portfolio. TurnHive does a single thing — making sure the unit is clean before the next guest — and you can see the price and start the trial without talking to anyone.
A platform versus a tool
A platform is the right answer when you run a portfolio and need channels, revenue and guest communication in one place. It also means onboarding, a contract, and paying for a lot of surface you may never open. If the only part you actually need is turnover coordination, a tool that does that one job will be faster to set up and easier to hand to your cleaner.
What you get instead
- A price you can read before you sign up, and a 14-day trial with no credit card and no demo.
- Setup in minutes — paste your iCal links, your cleanings appear.
- Your cleaner reads in their own language — 6 languages, with no account to create on their side.
- Ready-before-check-in guarantee — automatic escalation when a cleaning is at risk.
- It runs next to whatever you already use — TurnHive reads calendars, it doesn't take over your listings.

Frequently asked questions
Can TurnHive replace a property management system?
No, and it doesn't try to. TurnHive has no channel manager, no guest messaging and no pricing engine. It reads your calendars and coordinates the cleaning — that's the whole product.
Can I run TurnHive alongside Hostaway?
Yes. TurnHive connects through the iCal calendars your listings already publish, so it sits next to any platform without changing anything on your side.
Do I need a demo to get started?
No. The price is public, the trial is 14 days, and you connect your first calendar yourself.
