Changelog
What's new in PrepBnB — updated regularly as we ship improvements for STR hosts and cleaners.
Free Airbnb cleaning fee calculator
Added a new free tool at /tools/cleaning-fee-calculator. Enter your property's beds, baths, market, and amenities to instantly get a market-rate cleaning fee estimate with a full breakdown. No account required.
Referral prompt after first completed job
After your first turnover is marked complete, PrepBnB now surfaces a share prompt so you can spread the word to fellow STR hosts — with a pre-written tweet and WhatsApp message ready to go.
Activation milestone tracking
We now track when you hit key setup milestones — first listing, iCal sync, cleaner invite, and first job completed — so you can see your progress in the Analytics dashboard.
Press & media kit page
Added a /press page with a product description, logo download, and key stats for bloggers and STR community sites who want to reference PrepBnB.
Cleaner feedback & NPS after job completion
Cleaners are now prompted for a quick 1–5 star rating after marking a job complete. Responses are stored so hosts can monitor cleaner satisfaction over time.
New guide: Best Airbnb Cleaning Apps
Published a comparison guide at /guides/best-airbnb-cleaning-apps covering how PrepBnB stacks up against paid competitors like Properly and TurnoverBnB.
Streamlined onboarding — single listing form
Replaced the old 4-step wizard with a single QuickListingSetup form. New hosts can add their first property and paste their iCal URL in under 60 seconds.
PrepBnB rebrand
The app formerly known as Turn by Stellar Rentals is now PrepBnB — a standalone brand at prepbnb.com built for STR hosts who want to stop texting their cleaners.
Free iCal preview tool
Added /tools/ical-preview — paste any Airbnb or VRBO iCal feed to see upcoming checkout dates and optionally receive them by email. No account required.
Interactive demo mode
New visitors can try the cleaner checklist experience at /demo without signing up — with a fully interactive mock job so they can see what their cleaner sees.
SEO guides hub
Launched /guides with three in-depth articles: the Airbnb Cleaning Checklist, How to Manage Airbnb Cleaners, and Same-Day Turnover Cleaning Tips.
Weekly digest email for hosts
Hosts now receive a Sunday morning digest summarizing the previous week: jobs completed, cleaners active, and any issues reported. Sent automatically — no setup needed.
Analytics dashboard
Added /dashboard/analytics with spend summaries, month-over-month comparisons, a jobs-per-week trend chart, per-cleaner breakdown, and top properties by volume.
Team / co-host support
Hosts can now invite team members to manage their properties. Co-hosts share access to listings, jobs, and cleaners without needing a separate account.
Payments tracking dashboard
Added /dashboard/payments showing unpaid, payment-requested, and paid job summaries alongside a per-cleaner earnings breakdown.
Day-before reminders for cleaners
Assigned cleaners now receive an automatic email reminder the day before each scheduled turnover — no manual follow-up needed.
iCal sync — auto-create jobs from your booking calendar
Connect your Airbnb or VRBO iCal feed to a listing and PrepBnB will automatically create cleaning jobs for each checkout. New bookings, cancellations, and reschedules are detected on every sync.
AI-generated checklists
PrepBnB uses Claude to generate a room-by-room cleaning checklist tailored to your property's beds, baths, and amenities. No more copy-pasting generic templates.
PrepBnB is free for your first property.
No credit card required. Sync your iCal and invite your cleaner in under 5 minutes.
