The short version

  • Each has a real cost: PriceLabs the market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.; Properly properly solves only the turnover, so it is an additional per-property cost on top of a PMS that already claims to schedule cleaning, and the overlap is real.
  • They diverge on capability: PriceLabs covers Dynamic nightly pricing, Properly covers Photo-verified checklists.
  • 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.

PriceLabs

  • The market dashboard is a separate subscription from the pricing engine, so the widely quoted 19.99 figure is not what most serious users pay per listing.
  • The revenue share alternative at one per cent of bookings is a poor deal for high average daily rate properties, where it can cost several times the per-listing price.
  • Market data quality collapses in destinations with few tracked listings, which is precisely where an owner has the least pricing intuition of their own.
  • It will happily discount to zero margin if the base price and minimum are set carelessly, and the tool does not know your cost base, so an inattentive user can lose money faster than they would manually.
  • It prices but does not distribute or manage; you still need a PMS or channel manager underneath, and rate push failures between the two systems are a recurring support burden.

Properly

  • Properly solves only the turnover, so it is an additional per-property cost on top of a PMS that already claims to schedule cleaning, and the overlap is real.
  • The photo requirement adds time to every clean, and cleaners paid per turnover often resist it, which becomes a negotiation about rates rather than a software rollout.
  • Real-time inspection is billed at five dollars per inspection rather than included, so using it on every changeover materially changes the per-property cost.
  • The managed services tiers are priced an order of magnitude above the software, and operators sometimes discover the pitch is really about those rather than the app.
  • The cleaner marketplace has depth only in established North American destinations, and in thinner markets a missed turnover still means calling round yourself.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

PriceLabs: What does PriceLabs cost for ten listings?

Around 19.99 US dollars per listing per month at that volume for dynamic pricing, plus about 9.99 per market for the dashboard if you want the competitor data.

Properly: What does Properly actually cost per property?

The platform starts at 12.99 US dollars per property per month, falling toward 5 dollars at higher volumes. Remote inspections cost 5 dollars each on top.

PriceLabs: Should I take the one per cent revenue share instead?

Only if your average nightly rate and occupancy are low. On a listing earning 40,000 dollars a year the revenue share costs roughly 400 dollars against about 240 for the per-listing plan.

Properly: Does it replace my property management system?

No. It connects to one and covers turnovers only. Distribution, guest messaging and accounting stay elsewhere.

PriceLabs: Does it work for hotels?

It connects to Cloudbeds and similar systems and is used by small properties, but it is built around rental demand signals rather than hotel segmentation and forecasting.

Properly: Will cleaners actually use it?

They will if you require it, but the mandatory photo steps lengthen each clean and often need to be reflected in what you pay per turnover.

PriceLabs: Can I override the algorithm?

Extensively. Base price, minimum and maximum, seasonal profiles and day-of-week adjustments are all directly editable and reusable across a portfolio.

Properly: Does it help with damage claims?

Yes. Timestamped before and after photographs from the checklist are the main evidence operators use when claiming against a guest.
