Keepers vs Properly: Automated Operations vs. Guided Checklists

Properly has built a solid reputation for visual cleaning guides and host education. Keepers is the operations platform for managers who need automation, not just documentation — AI scheduling, a cleaner marketplace, maintenance management, and real-time portfolio visibility that Properly doesn't provide.

See Keepers in Action

Watch how STR operators use Keepers to automate turnovers, manage maintenance, and scale their portfolios — all in one platform.

Section 1

Properly built its reputation on making it easy for Airbnb hosts to create visual, photo-guided cleaning checklists that cleaners can follow even without verbal training.

Section 2

Properly's strength is standardization. Its limitation is automation. Scheduling in Properly is manual — there's no AI engine that reads your booking calendar, creates jobs automatically, and assigns cleaners based on availability and optimization criteria.

Section 3

Keepers includes the SOP and checklist capability Properly offers — property-specific, photo-referenced checklists delivered to cleaners via mobile app — plus the full operational infrastructure that Properly doesn't provide.

Section 4

If you're a solo host managing one to three properties and your primary need is communicating cleaning standards to a single trusted cleaner, Properly is worth evaluating. If you're managing 10 or more properties, growing your portfolio, and finding that operational coordination is consuming disproportionate time — Keepers is the platform designed for where you're headed.
