Which Should You Pick: EZcare or Properly?

Pick EZcare if you're a mid-to-large operator on Streamline, Track, Escapia, or Barefoot who needs a back-office care platform covering housekeeping, maintenance, inventory, and inspections in one tool.

What each tool does well — and where it falls short

What EZcare does well

  • Vendor integrations page enumerates 20+ named PMS partners

    Hostaway, Guesty, Hostfully, Track, Escapia, Streamline, OwnerRez, Barefoot, LiveRez, Hospitable, and ResHarmonics are all listed on the vendor's integrations page, which makes EZcare a viable back-office layer for operators on most major property management stacks.

  • iOS app holds a 4.7-star rating across 59 reviews

    The Apple App Store listing for EZcare Property Care says the app is designed for housekeepers, maintenance contractors, and inspectors to receive and complete field work, with offline capability and cloud syncing when a connection is available.

  • Verified SourceForge reviewer calls it a 'pure operational tool'

    Ryan R., a Head of Revenue at a 26-99 employee operator with 6-12 months of daily use, says EZcare is 'Easy to use and a very pure operational tool only which is great' and a 'Great option for those not looking to get distracted with all the bells and whistles.'

What Properly does well

  • Extremely simple to use for high-frequency turnover management

    Users report it's "extremely simple to use" for companies "managing many properties that require frequent cleaning and not having time for any system that is difficult to navigate and time consuming."

  • Competitors admit they can't match Properly's turnover capabilities

    "Property Management Software companies who have Housekeeping modules have said they cannot compete with Properly for turnovers" — a rare endorsement from rival platforms.

  • Real-time photo-based updates keep managers in the loop

    Users value "true to time notifications and updates on ongoing jobs" and that the platform is "concise and very customizable, and can take pictures of areas which require extra attention from housekeepers."

Where EZcare falls short

  • Pricing requires a sales demo — no self-serve research possible

    STRhub describes EZcare's model as 'Tiered pricing based on the number of active properties' with 'Exact pricing given during product demo,' and SoftwareSuggest's CTA copy reinforces the quote-only posture with 'Get Best Quote for EZcare.'

  • Competitor editorial says you can't review task status in real time

    Breezeway's comparison post claims EZcare has maintenance tracking but 'you can't review task status in real-time,' which would limit live coordination during a turnover day. Note this is a competitor-authored piece, so treat as directional rather than authoritative.

  • Smaller community and weaker brand recognition than the leaders

    The verified SourceForge review explicitly cites 'Lesser market recognition compared to competitors like Breezeway' and 'Limited user community for idea-sharing' as the cons, which matters when operators rely on peer forums for setup tips.

Where Properly falls short

  • No in-app payments for cleaning providers

    Users report "inability to pay providers in-app is a problem" and confusion when in-app messages blur the line between Properly staff and actual cleaners.

  • Feature overload creates an initial learning curve

    The platform has "so many features that at first, it feels overwhelming to learn" — expect a ramp-up period before teams are fully productive.

  • Remote inspections miss non-visual issues

    Walk-through inspections catch 98% of errors, but remote inspections only catch 87% — they cannot detect issues "that can't be seen in a photo, such as a sticky floor or dust on furniture surfaces."

Which Should You Pick

Pick EZcare if

Mid-to-large vacation rental and corporate housing operators on Streamline, Track, Escapia, Hostaway, Guesty, or OwnerRez who need a dedicated housekeeping, maintenance, inventory, and inspections platform with mobile field-staff workflows.

Skip EZcare if

You operate under ~25 properties and want transparent self-serve monthly pricing — quote-only sales and enterprise feature footprint will be overkill versus per-property tools like Turno or ResortCleaning.

Pick Properly if

Property managers focused on housekeeping and maintenance quality control with visual documentation needs — especially teams managing 10+ listings with multiple cleaners.

Skip Properly if

You need comprehensive channel management or full-service property management beyond cleaning operations.

Where EZcare and Properly actually differ

  • EZcare is a full back-office care suite covering housekeeping, maintenance, inventory scanning, and inspections; Properly focuses on cleaning quality management with visual checklists and remote inspections.
  • Properly publishes per-property pricing from $12/mo at 1 listing down to ~$3.19/property at 500+ units with a 30-day free trial; EZcare uses quote-based pricing disclosed only during a sales demo.
  • EZcare names 20+ PMS and channel integrations including Streamline, Track, Escapia, and Barefoot plus SilverDoor for corporate housing; Properly integrates with 13+ platforms including Hostaway, Guesty, Hostfully, and Streamline.
  • EZcare's mobile app supports offline work, route optimization, photo checklists, and inventory scanning; Properly's mobile workflow centers on photo verification for turnover quality control.
  • Properly offers a direct Airbnb integration that imports listings and bookings automatically; EZcare connects to Airbnb-facing PMSs like Hostaway and Guesty but does not list a direct Airbnb channel connection.

Common objections

Properly's pricing is published and EZcare's isn't — isn't that a dealbreaker?
On pricing transparency alone, Properly wins outright. You can model exact costs at any portfolio size from their published tiers. EZcare requires a sales call. If predictable budgeting matters and you don't need EZcare's broader feature set (inventory scanning, maintenance, corporate-housing fit), Properly removes the guesswork.
Doesn't Properly's photo-verification advantage matter more than EZcare's broader feature set?
If guest cleanliness complaints are the actual bottleneck, Properly's photo-verified checklists and remote inspections are purpose-built for that problem. But if you also need inventory scanning, maintenance work-orders, and inspections in one tool — especially across corporate housing or serviced apartments — EZcare consolidates workflows Properly doesn't attempt.
EZcare connects to Streamline, Track, Escapia, and Barefoot — does that matter if I'm on one of those PMSs?
Yes. Properly names Streamline among its integrations but does not list Track, Escapia, or Barefoot. If you run one of those enterprise PMSs, EZcare is the safer integration bet — confirm specifics in a demo since the slim data only names partners, not integration depth.
