The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Percepto aIM is built for Percepto aircraft and base stations, so buying the software is buying the fleet, and a site that already owns DJI or other drones cannot bring them into 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: Percepto covers Drone-in-a-box base station, ResortCleaning covers PMS-driven job creation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Percepto

  • AIM is built for Percepto aircraft and base stations, so buying the software is buying the fleet, and a site that already owns DJI or other drones cannot bring them into it.
  • Everything depends on beyond-visual-line-of-sight regulatory approval, which is strong in the United States and patchy elsewhere, so a European or Asian site may face a materially different operating envelope for the same money.
  • Pricing is a per-site annual programme covering hardware, software and support, with no published rates, so comparing it against hiring an inspection contractor requires a full proposal.
  • The base station is fixed infrastructure requiring power, connectivity and a site survey, which means a linear asset such as a pipeline needs several installations rather than one system.
  • Weather, wind limits and airspace restrictions still ground flights, so the inspection schedule an operator plans around is a best case, and manual fallback procedures still have to exist.

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

Percepto: Can I use Percepto AIM with drones I already own?

No. The system is designed around Percepto's own aircraft and base station.

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.

Percepto: Do I need a pilot on site?

Not in jurisdictions where beyond-visual-line-of-sight operation is approved. Confirm the approval position for your country before committing.

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.

Percepto: What does it cost?

Percepto does not publish pricing. Expect an annual per-site programme covering hardware, the AIM subscription and support.

ResortCleaning: Does it replace my property management system?

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

Percepto: Can it detect gas leaks?

Yes, with an optical gas imaging payload, which is one of the main reasons oil and gas operators buy it.

ResortCleaning: Does it handle contractor pay?

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