The published facts, in plain English

ResortCleaning is Housekeeping software. It lists its pricing as $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.

Data-desk note: Cheapest per-property cleaning; $20 min, utilitarian, no marketplace.

Who it’s for

ResortCleaning is one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Maine.

Our take

We list ResortCleaning’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.

How it compares to BnBGenius

Side by side on published terms: ResortCleaning lists $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.

Reading the record

ResortCleaning files under Housekeeping software; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. Test path: use the trial on a real listing immediately — an empty sandbox tells you nothing. Published pricing of $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min makes the value math checkable before you commit.

Same tool, two situations

  • The remote self-manager. Automation earns its keep fastest at a distance — every task ResortCleaning genuinely takes over is a drive you do not make. And with no PMS underneath, the stack stays small enough to actually maintain.
  • The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read ResortCleaning’s model with your exact count in mind.

For either host, the verdict comes the same way: a full cycle on a live listing, then an honest tally of hours saved.

Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: BnBGenius Voice — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If ResortCleaning beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.

Verdict

A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.

Questions owners ask

What does ResortCleaning cost?
$5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min.

Is there a free tier?
There is a trial, not a free tier.

Do you need a PMS to run ResortCleaning?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.

What to pin down with ResortCleaning

  • “Is $5/property/mo or $1.39/appt; $20/mo min per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
  • Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
  • What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.

Alternatives worth comparing

Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:

  • DPGO — $18/listing/mo, or 0.5%/booking, or $1/night; 30-day trial.
  • Quibble — Not published (quote); flat per-listing.
  • Party Squasher — $249/yr (Std), $309/yr (Pro), sensor incl..

Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Reviews for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
