FieldStay vs Properly
FieldStay is a short-term rental operations platform with photo-timestamped checklists, like Properly. The two biggest practical differences: FieldStay covers vendor work orders, asset tracking and owner reporting alongside turnovers, and it publishes one graduated price for any portfolio up to 150 properties with no sales call.
Every claim below cites where it comes from. See the note at the bottom of this section.
| Category | FieldStay | Properly |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | FieldStayOne published graduated rate schedule, calculable to the dollar for any count from 1 to 150 properties. No sales call at any size. | ProperlyPer-property tiers. Self-service Platform from $12.99 per property per month, Pro from $14.99 with direct PMS API sync, volume tiers that fall lower, and "talk to us about custom pricing" for portfolios. Real-Time Inspection is $5 per inspection. The Platform has a 30-day free trial. |
| Vendor work orders | FieldStayA vendor gets a link by text or email, opens it on their phone, and can view, quote, or complete the work order with no account and nothing to install. | ProperlyCleaners must be invited by a host or property manager, sign up for a Properly account and use the free Properly app. Dispatch of non-cleaning vendors as work orders was not independently confirmed. |
| Offline support | FieldStayThe crew app reads from local device storage as its normal mode, not a special "offline mode". Every checklist step, photo, and inventory count queues locally and syncs automatically once signal returns. A photo that fails to upload stays visible with a retry button. | ProperlyProperly's platform page says cleaners get a dedicated app with offline support and push notifications. What works offline and how it syncs was not independently confirmed. |
| Asset planning & CapEx forecasting | FieldStayEvery major appliance and system gets a health score that updates daily from its age and expected lifespan, rolled into a 10-year capital expenditure forecast automatically, feeding the capital planning page, the owner portal, and a CPA-ready CSV export. | ProperlyProperly lists issue reporting and maintenance management. An asset ledger, health scoring and capital forecasting were not independently confirmed, so no comparison is made. |
| Guest guidebook | FieldStayIncluded on every plan at no extra cost, and can pay for itself: every local business sponsor you sign into your guidebook takes a real $5/month off your bill automatically, from the first one. | ProperlyA digital guidebook was not found on the Properly platform or features pages. Properly lists AI-assisted guest support as a service. |
| Bookkeeper and finance access | FieldStayA finance role that sees the bill, its itemized breakdown, and every vendor invoice, and nothing else: no properties, turnovers, crew or settings. Your bookkeeper does not need an admin seat to close the books. | ProperlyProperly's roles and permissions, including any finance-only role, were not independently confirmed on the pages reviewed, so no comparison is made. |
| PMS integrations | FieldStayConnects to OwnerRez, Hospitable, Hostex, Hostaway and Lodgify and builds the turnover schedule from existing bookings, with iCal calendar feeds for everything else. | ProperlyProperly names BookingSync, Escapia, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Hospitable, Smoobu, Streamline and others, and syncs Airbnb and 50 or more other platforms by iCal. Direct API integration is listed on the Pro plan. |
FieldStay claims are verifiable against this product directly. Properly information reflects Properly's public website and help documentation, checked on or after 2026-10-14. Rows are re-checked one at a time, so some carry a later date than others. A competitor's pricing and features can change at any time, so verify current details on Properly's website before deciding.

Properly lists self-service Platform from $12.99 per property per month, Pro from $14.99 with direct PMS sync, and custom pricing for larger portfolios (checked 2026-10-14). The exact figure at 10 properties depends on the tier and any volume discount, so check their pricing page for your count.
Try it risk-free
Run FieldStay on 3–5 of your most demanding properties for 14 days, the ones with spotty signal, tricky access, or vendors who barely answer texts. If it doesn't make your week easier, cancel with one click. No contract, no penalty.
Real, shipped FieldStay capabilities, not compared above because we couldn't independently confirm Properly's equivalent one way or the other, and this page only makes claims it can back up.
Every checklist step, every photo, and every work order status change is timestamped and logged as it happens, including the ones your crew records with no signal at all. When an owner asks whether the house was ready, or a guest says something was missed, you open the property, pick the date, and read what happened.
One keystroke opens search from anywhere in the dashboard. Type a few words and it finds the work order by its title, its number or its description, in any status, completed and cancelled included, alongside the property and the vendor. "The thing about the water heater" is a search, not an afternoon of scrolling. Pick a property instead and you get its whole record by date.
Photos are shrunk on the phone before they are stored, so a full-resolution camera file cannot fill up the device mid-clean. If an upload fails, it queues and retries, and if it keeps failing your crew member sees it sitting there with a retry button instead of finding out weeks later that the proof was never there.
Ask a question in the app and the answer comes from something that can read your own setup, not a help article that assumes someone else's. Anything that needs a person, a billing dispute, a consent complaint, a safety issue, is handed to one instead of guessed at. There is no assigned account manager to wait on, because there is nothing queued behind one.
A secure, tokenized link for property owners, with no account and no login, showing revenue, expenses, and net income by period.
Par levels per property; a low-stock item is added to a purchase order automatically, with a one-click Kroger cart build.
The app walks your crew through the checklist step by step, and works with no signal. Your vendors don't need to download anything or remember a password. Every work order arrives as a link they open, quote, and complete from their phone.
The biggest practical differences are scope and pricing transparency. Properly is built around cleaning quality: scheduling, photo-verified checklists, a cleaner marketplace and optional paid inspections. FieldStay covers turnovers, crew dispatch, vendor work orders, asset tracking and owner reporting in one platform, and publishes one graduated rate schedule that prices any portfolio from 1 to 150 properties with no sales call.
It depends on your property count and which Properly tier you would use. For 10 properties, FieldStay is $118/month, publicly calculable from the rate schedule before you talk to anyone. Properly lists self-service pricing from $12.99 per property per month, with volume tiers and custom pricing for larger portfolios, so the exact comparison depends on the tier. Check getproperly.com/pricing for your own count.
There's no data migration to run, because FieldStay doesn't import FROM Properly. It connects TO your booking platform (OwnerRez, Hospitable, Hostex, Hostaway, or Lodgify) and builds your turnover schedule from your existing bookings automatically. Most teams run FieldStay on a handful of properties during a free trial alongside their current setup before moving the rest of the portfolio over.
Both give cleaners a checklist with photos so a clean can be verified. Properly is built around quality verification, with photo-verified checklists and a paid expert inspection option. FieldStay's crew app also timestamps every checklist step and photo, works with no signal, and keeps that record next to the rest of the property's history, including work orders, assets and inventory. If cleaning verification is the whole problem, Properly's focus is a fair strength to weigh; FieldStay is the better fit when verification has to sit alongside vendors, maintenance and owner reporting.
