Why property managers switch from Turno to SparkList
- 1
They need more than scheduling
Turno is strong for finding, scheduling, and paying cleaners. SparkList focuses on making sure the work is done right before check-in.
- 2
They want clearer cleaner instructions
SparkList places tasks directly on property photos, so cleaners know exactly what to clean, check, restock, or photograph.
- 3
They want proof they can review fast
SparkList links proof photos to tasks, rooms, properties, and cleaning history — not scattered messages or random photo uploads.
Why property managers choose SparkList
Visual tasks instead of long written instructions
Show cleaners exactly where to act on real property photos.
Structured proof photos before check-in
Review what was completed, what was missed, and what needs fixing before guests arrive.
Geofence check-in and auto-checkout
Know when cleaners start at the property and when they leave the approved area.
Property photo timeline
Compare how a property looked after each cleaning and keep visual proof over time.
Feedback shown automatically next time
Reject a photo, draw on it, leave a note, and show that feedback when the cleaner takes the same photo again.
Pay only for active properties
Pause off-season or inactive properties and keep your data saved without paying for unused properties.
When Turno is the right choice
Turno can be the right choice if your main need is finding cleaners through a marketplace, automating cleaning schedules from booking calendars, or handling cleaner payments in one platform.
SparkList is the better fit if your main pain is cleaner execution: giving clear visual instructions, collecting structured proof photos, tracking onsite work, and verifying every cleaning before guests arrive.
