Vanio AI vs Properly
Cleaning checklists and inspection
Why teams choose Vanio over Properly
Checklists are part of a full task management system connected to AI, payments, and guest communication.
AI automatically creates cleaning tasks from reservation data — no manual scheduling.
Smart lock codes for cleaners generated per reservation, timed and auto-expiring.
If a guest reports an issue, AI creates a maintenance task automatically — no app switching.
Full PMS eliminates the need for Properly + PMS + messaging tool + lock tool.
Where Properly shines
Properly has a specialized visual checklist builder with photo verification per step.
More focused on cleaner onboarding and quality assurance workflows.
The bigger picture
Every operations tool is another app, another login, another integration to maintain. Your cleaning tool doesn't know your AI just told a guest about late checkout. Your task system can't generate lock codes for the maintenance person. With Vanio AI, operations are wired into the same system where AI manages guests — a late checkout automatically adjusts the cleaning schedule, and staff get timed lock codes without anyone doing anything.
Properly makes cleaning checklists great. But a checklist tool that doesn't know about your reservations, guest messages, or lock codes is working with one hand tied behind its back. Vanio AI connects everything so operations run themselves.
One flat fee. The entire guest lifecycle.
Vanio AI handles messages across all channels, phone calls, lock codes, task dispatch, upsells, damage waivers, review management — from booking to checkout. The quiet guest who self-checks-in? $5. The difficult guest who sends 30 messages and calls twice? Same $5.
Low platform fee per listing + usage-based add-ons for voice, IoT, and SMS. See full pricing
