The short version
- Each has a real cost: 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.; Redlist no pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
- They diverge on capability: Properly covers Photo-verified checklists, Redlist covers Lubrication routes.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
Redlist
- No pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
- Cost scales with licensed users, which is awkward for operations with large numbers of technicians who each need only to record a completed lubrication route.
- Outside lubrication the CMMS is ordinary, so organisations without a lubrication-driven failure problem pay a specialist price for general functionality.
- The customer base and support presence are North American, which affects response times, lubricant catalogue coverage and reference availability elsewhere.
- The integration list is short compared with established CMMS platforms, so connecting to an ERP or a plant historian is likely to need custom API work.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
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.
Redlist: Is Redlist only for lubrication?
No, it is a full CMMS with work orders and scheduling, but lubrication management is the reason most customers choose it.
Properly: Does it replace my property management system?
No. It connects to one and covers turnovers only. Distribution, guest messaging and accounting stay elsewhere.
Redlist: How is it licensed?
Per user, across four licence types with different capabilities, rather than by asset count.
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.
Redlist: Does it publish prices?
No. Figures circulating on review sites are not vendor-published and should not be used to set a budget.
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.
Redlist: Can technicians use it without signal?
Yes, the mobile app captures work offline and syncs later, which is the normal case in mining and oilfield sites.
