Signing up for Turno is completely free, but we may charge additional fees depending on how you connected with your cleaners. In order to explain the fees we charge, we must first describe the two ways a host and a cleaner can connect with one another, which we call Marketplace connections and external (Non-Marketplace) connections. This article gives an in-depth look on how each type of connection influences the fees you'll be paying as a host.
Connection types 🤝🏻
Turno offers two types of connection: through the marketplace, and outside of the marketplace (or non-marketplace connection, established with external cleaners).
A Marketplace connection is established when a host accepts a bid from a cleaner on their search. This means that you met the cleaner through Turno.
A Non-Marketplace connection, on the other hand, is established when a host and a cleaner connect through an invitation. This means that you met the cleaner outside of Turno, bringing in external cleaners to the platform.
Project fees 💳
For Marketplace connections with a cleaner, payments are required to go through Turno. We charge an 8% fee for each payment made using credit card ,and 5% for payments made with ACH (currently only available for US bank accounts).
On marketplace cleaners' side, the fee is always 5% of the payment amount, and depending on what US state they're located in, they may also be charged sales taxes.
Marketplace example: When a marketplace cleaner charges $100 for a cleaning project
using a credit card, you pay $108.00
using ACH bank debit, you pay $105.00
On the cleaner's side, they receive $95.00, regardless of your payment method.
For Non-Marketplace connections, payments through Turno are optional, but you can pay them through the app with automatic payments if you wish, or manual payments.
Automatic or not, payments for non-marketplace cleaners through Turno have a 3.9% fee for card payments (when located in the US and Canada), and a 1.5% fee if you use ACH bank debit (currently available for US bank accounts only). Non-Marketplace fees are only charged on the hosts' side.
Non-Marketplace example: When a non-marketplace cleaner charges $100 for a cleaning project...
using a credit card, you pay $103.90
using ACH bank debit, you pay $101.50
...and the cleaner receives $100.00, regardless of your payment method.
Subscription fees 💸
Turno is free to use if you have only one property with non-marketplace cleaners. Billing is associated to properties, and not cleaners, which means you can have as many cleaners as you need on that one property and remain free. However, if you use these cleaners across multiple properties, you'll need a subscription to continue scheduling cleanings for all of them. We offer both monthly and annual subscription plans. Here are the prices for each option:
$8/month per property on the monthly plan
$6/month per property ($6 x 12 months = $72 per property, charged once a year)
You can also see this information on the pricing page of the Turno website. To learn more about our subscription billing, take a look at the following article:
