Upbridge and Turno.
Turno is a marketplace where you find a cleaner, and you can also run your own crew on it. Upbridge does not find you a cleaner, so it fits once you already have a crew, and it helps you organize that crew in Mexico and in Spanish.
Which one should I pick, Upbridge or Turno?
Turno serves you better if you don't have a cleaner yet, because it has a network of cleaners who bid on each job. If you already have your team, Upbridge fits you. Cleo, our AI operations assistant, builds the tasks and sends them to that team on WhatsApp, and you see the photos of each cleaning and the inventory of the house. Everything is in Mexican Spanish.

Turno helps you find a cleaner, and Upbridge comes in once you already have your crew.
| Topic | Turno | Upbridge |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A marketplace: the host posts a job, cleaners bid. They publish more than 126,000 pros, mostly US, Canada and Europe. | Cleo, our AI operations assistant, works over WhatsApp with the people you already have. Upbridge runs the photo checklists, the inventory for each house, the guest guides and check-in with ID verification. |
| Mexico | They have a Spanish site, but their volume is in the US, Canada and Europe. | We are Mexican. Everything is in Mexican Spanish, including the app the cleaner opens, and we support you on WhatsApp. |
| Lists and photos | Photo lists in the hired-clean flow. | Room-by-room list on the phone, with photos and comments, chat with the cleaner, and whichever items you mark as required. Timestamped report when they finish. |
| Inventory | They ship inventory and maintenance management. | Per house. It deducts automatically by task or by reservation, depending on how you set it up, and you can move things by hand too. Low-stock alerts in the app, email and WhatsApp. |
| Guest guides | Not the product. | We build them for you. The guest asks for an extra service in the guide and pays right there. The moment the payment lands, the task is created and assigned to whoever it belongs to, without you moving anything. |
| Guest check-in | Not the product. | Online check-in with ID verification. The guest uploads their ID before arrival, and you turn on a PIN and a contract if you want them. |
| AI | Not advertised. | Cleo, our AI operations assistant, works inside WhatsApp. She reads your team’s WhatsApp chats, builds the tasks and assigns them. You write to her and ask for things the way you would ask anyone on your team, without opening the app. She only sees the chats you add her to, the same as anyone new on your team; she does not touch the rest of your WhatsApp. |
| Who we are | An international marketplace, the same one for everybody. | A small team. If your operation needs something different, you tell us and we make it fit. |
What Turno has that we do not.
- A network of cleaners who send you a price for each job. If you do not have a team yet, that is what Turno is for.
- Paying and scheduling inside that network, as long as you hire through it.
What we do have.
- In Mexico the hard part is knowing whether the house is ready, how many towels are left and what you tell the guest.
- Checklists, guides, inventory and check-in with ID verification in one place, in the team’s language.
- Cleo, our AI operations assistant, reads the operation on WhatsApp, builds the tasks and assigns them.
- We are Mexican and we are small: if your operation needs something different, you tell us and we make it fit.
Does Upbridge find me a cleaner?
No. Turno does, in the markets where its marketplace runs. Upbridge is for the team you already have: photo checklists, guest guides, inventory per house.
Do you have AI?
Yes, and it lives on WhatsApp. You write to it the way you write to anyone on your team: it reads your team’s WhatsApp chats, builds the tasks and assigns them. If you want to know how a house is doing, you ask it and it answers.
Does it work with two or three properties?
Yes. Create the account, build the first list, and we can build the guide if you want.
Does inventory deduct automatically?
Yes. Automatically by task or by reservation, depending on how you set it up. You can also record movements by hand.
