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.; Uplisting the 100 US dollar monthly minimum means an owner with one or two properties pays roughly fifty dollars per unit, five times the effective rate a twenty-unit manager pays.
  • They diverge on capability: Properly covers Photo-verified checklists, Uplisting covers Channel sync.
  • 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.

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.

Uplisting

  • The 100 US dollar monthly minimum means an owner with one or two properties pays roughly fifty dollars per unit, five times the effective rate a twenty-unit manager pays.
  • Owner statements and trust accounting are effectively absent, so agencies that must report to and pay property owners need separate bookkeeping alongside it.
  • Payments are tied to Stripe for direct bookings, which limits operators in countries Stripe does not serve well or who want to keep an existing acquiring relationship.
  • Channel coverage is narrower than the larger platforms: Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo are solid but regional OTAs and wholesale distribution are not there.
  • Reporting is basic, with limited custom report building, so investors or multi-entity operators typically export data and analyse it elsewhere.

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.

Uplisting: Does Uplisting take a percentage of bookings?

No. It charges a flat monthly rate per property and takes no cut of reservation value, including on direct bookings.

Properly: Does it replace my property management system?

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

Uplisting: What is the minimum I can spend?

One hundred US dollars a month, regardless of whether you have one property or five.

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.

Uplisting: Does it do owner payouts and statements?

Not meaningfully. Managers who owe monthly statements to property owners generally run accounting separately or choose Hostaway or Guesty instead.

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.

Uplisting: Which channels connect?

Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo are the core two-way connections, plus its own direct booking site and Google Vacation Rentals.
