## Common complaints about Jetstream

- **12% for half the job**: Jetstream handles remote coordination only. Cleaning, maintenance, and turnovers are still on you — while they collect 12%. TIDY automates everything for 3.9%.
- **No on-site operations**: Jetstream doesn't handle the messy, expensive parts: physical cleaning, maintenance calls, inventory, turnovers. You still have to coordinate all of that yourself or hire someone else.
- **Pay twice — Jetstream + your cleaners**: You pay Jetstream 12% AND you pay separately for your cleaning and maintenance pros. TIDY automates scheduling and messaging with your pros at 3.9% total.
- **Limited automation**: Jetstream is a human remote coordination service. TIDY is a fully automated AI platform — 24/7 scheduling, messaging, predictive maintenance, and digital twins.

## Who picks TIDY

- Owners who don't want to hand over their Airbnb account or bank account
- Property managers scaling operations without adding headcount
- Anyone who wants AI automation + a dedicated human account manager, not just software

## Customer perspective

> I was paying Jetstream 12% and still doing all the cleaning coordination myself. Switching to TIDY automated everything and cut my total costs by more than 60%.
