Indiana is not an easy market — strict local rules and high cleaning costs — so a tool that holds up here tends to hold up anywhere.
How to read this ranking
The order is not a popularity contest and it is not alphabetical. Our number one is the one we tested hands-on; everything below it is scored on published information, pricing transparency and the owner feedback we have gathered. Where a company publishes nothing about price, that counts against it here, because you cannot budget around a number you cannot see. The weighting we apply:
- Time saved — 40%. Real hours back per week, measured against doing the job by hand.
- Fit — 30%. Compatibility with the channels and software you depend on.
- Value — 20%. Cost weighed against the money it makes or protects.
- Support — 10%. Whether you can reach a human quickly when something breaks at 11pm.
A high position means we would be comfortable putting an owner in front of them — not that your result is guaranteed. Read the individual review before you commit to anyone.
Three things to confirm in writing
Whatever you pick from this list, get these in writing:
- What the headline number leaves out. Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras. Ask for them itemised rather than implied.
- How you leave. Notice period, who owns the listing and its review history, and whether the calendar and guest data come with you.
- Who answers at 11pm. A guest locked out on a Friday night is the real test of a service, not the sales call.
