What It Is

Casa Inspect is a turnover inspection app for short-term rental hosts and small property management teams. It is not positioned as a full PMS; instead, it fills the gap around checkout inspections, cleaning coordination, and maintenance dispatch. It lets users inspect each room on a phone, take photos and flag issues, then send cleaning, repair, or all-clear results to the right people via SMS.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is mobile-first and works in modern browsers. The iOS version is currently available via TestFlight, while Android, iPad, and desktop users access the same Web App. Team roles include owner, cleaning company owner, Turnover Pro, repair, maintenance, and inspection. A Turnover Pro can join with a 4-digit code, without an email address, password, or app download, which makes it suitable for cleaners who do not want to deal with complex systems. Each property can have team assignments configured so cleaning issues go to cleaners, maintenance issues go to a handyman, and owners receive the all-clear. The AI assistant, Casa, is based on the Claude API and can guide setup, assist during on-site inspections, and answer natural-language questions such as “When was this property last maintained?”

Integrations, Data, and Security

For integrations, Casa Inspect supports the HostHub API, with sync every 30 minutes. It can also sync via iCal links from Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, or bookings can be entered manually. Its data security description is relatively specific: guest names and dates are used only as routing metadata for inspections, and guest emails, phone numbers, and other PII are not collected. SMS unsubscribe/resubscribe links are signed and isolated by user. Row-level security is enabled at the Postgres layer. Owner-level users can export properties, bookings, inspection results, and team assignments as CSV files.

Pricing, Pros, and Cons

Pricing is the biggest highlight: all features are free, with no per-property fees and no feature gates. The model is voluntary contribution from $0-50 per month; choosing $0 does not affect usage or support. Its strengths are focus, lightweight operation, and practical SMS-based dispatch, especially for owner-operators and cleaning companies managing 1-100 properties. The limitations are that it does not provide full PMS features such as pricing, guest messaging, or channel management; third-party integrations are limited; and support mainly depends on founder email, so its ability to provide support at scale is unclear.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for teams already using Hostfully, Guesty, Hospitable, or other channel tools but lacking a closed-loop on-site inspection workflow. It also fits smaller hosts still piecing together operations with group chats, spreadsheets, and photos. Information on access from China is not provided and needs real-world testing. SMS, HostHub, iCal, and other overseas service dependencies may involve network availability and phone number reachability issues. Payment methods are not disclosed. If you need a more mature enterprise-grade solution, compare it with Breezeway, Properly, Turno, and Operto.
