The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Hostfully the advertised per property price excludes a platform fee that is not published anywhere on the pricing page, so no listed figure is a real monthly cost until sales quotes it.; ResortCleaning pricing is not published on the vendor site, so comparison against Turno or an in-house scheduling board requires a sales conversation and third-party figures vary widely.
  • They diverge on capability: Hostfully covers Channel management, ResortCleaning covers PMS-driven job creation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hostfully

  • The advertised per property price excludes a platform fee that is not published anywhere on the pricing page, so no listed figure is a real monthly cost until sales quotes it.
  • The Growth tier charges 1% on payments and 0.85% on direct bookings, so the operators most focused on direct revenue are penalised on the cheaper plan and effectively forced to Pro.
  • Pricing is per property, so a portfolio of small low-revenue units pays the same per listing as high-revenue ones and studio-heavy portfolios carry a disproportionate cost.
  • Accounting is lighter than manager-grade competitors, with no full trust accounting, so client fund segregation has to be handled outside the platform.
  • Digital Guidebooks are sold and priced separately from the PMS, so the product Hostfully is best known for is an additional line on the invoice rather than part of the subscription.

ResortCleaning

  • Pricing is not published on the vendor site, so comparison against Turno or an in-house scheduling board requires a sales conversation and third-party figures vary widely.
  • It is a housekeeping system only, so it depends entirely on the PMS integration; if your platform is not on the supported list the automated job creation that justifies the product does not work.
  • There is no cleaner marketplace, so an operator who does not already have a workforce gets scheduling software with nobody to schedule.
  • The vendor is small, which means less depth of documentation, a smaller partner ecosystem and more dependence on direct support than a large platform offers.
  • Mobile field use is functional rather than polished, and cleaning crews with low technical confidence typically need in-person training before inspections are completed properly.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hostfully: What is the platform fee?

Hostfully does not publish it. Ask for the total monthly figure for your listing count in writing before comparing plans.

ResortCleaning: How is it different from Turno?

Turno matches hosts with cleaners from a marketplace. ResortCleaning is back-office software for a team you already employ or contract.

Hostfully: Which tier is cheaper in practice?

Pro, for anyone with real direct booking volume. Growth is $10 less per property but adds 1% on payments and 0.85% on direct bookings.

ResortCleaning: What does it cost?

Not published. Expect quoting by property count or job volume, and ask whether there is an account minimum for small portfolios.

Hostfully: Can I buy guidebooks alone?

Yes. Digital Guidebooks are priced separately and are commonly bought without the PMS.

ResortCleaning: Does it replace my property management system?

No. It takes reservation data from the PMS and handles the operations layer only.

Hostfully: Is there a minimum property count?

No stated minimum, but per property pricing plus a platform fee makes it uneconomic for one or two units.

ResortCleaning: Does it handle contractor pay?

Yes. Completed jobs feed pay calculations for contractors as well as owner invoicing.
