Comparison
CheckYout vs Turno – which checkout tool fits your vacation rental?
Turno runs the largest cleaner marketplace for short-term rentals and auto-schedules jobs from 20+ booking systems. CheckYout does not run a marketplace – it detects the real departure moment, which is what triggers cleaner notifications.
TL;DR
Turno fits when you need to find a cleaner or hand off scheduling, payments, and photo checklists. CheckYout fits when you already have your cleaner but want them notified the second the guest actually leaves – via WhatsApp, email, or webhook, with optional thermostat and lock automation.

How we read it
The two tools solve different problems. If you already have a cleaner, what remains from Turno is mainly the auto-scheduling. That still runs on the planned checkout time from the calendar, never on the real departure.
When CheckYout fits
- You already have a cleaner or small team and just want them notified the second the guest leaves, not at 14:00 because the calendar says so.
- You want heating, lock, or lights to reset automatically at the real checkout (tado°, Nuki, Philips Hue, Shelly).
- You want a Google review after each checkout without pushing an app onto the guest.
When Turno fits
- You are actively looking for a cleaner and want to find and hire a vetted pro through a marketplace.
- You want scheduling and cleaner payouts handled by the platform and are fine with a 5% platform fee.
- You need a wide set of channel-manager integrations CheckYout does not yet cover (e.g. Hostfully, OwnerRez, Tokeet).
