The short version

Actabl is built for large US hotel management companies wanting labour, BI, and operations under one PE-backed roof. Breezeway is built for vacation rental and short-term rental property managers with 10–200+ properties.

What each one costs
Actabl pricing
- ALICE (operations and housekeeping) Referenced at around $6,000 per user per year
- The operations, housekeeping, messaging and concierge module, and the part I tested. It is quote-only in practice; the per-user figure is what has been referenced to me and to other hoteliers, not a published rate, and your real cost depends on property size and configuration.
- Hotel Effectiveness (labour management) From $99 per month, entry-level
- The labour management arm, PerfectLabor. This is the strongest part of the platform and the one with a visible entry price. Actual cost climbs with property size, and you cannot buy it as a clean standalone once you are inside the Actabl bundle.
- Full platform Custom, sales call, enterprise-level
- Operations, labour, BI and asset management together. There is no public number. This is priced for a management company running hundreds of properties, like Highgate, not a 40 or 80-room independent.
Actabl does not publish prices; you contact sales, sit through a demo and negotiate. The figures I can give you, roughly $6,000 per user per year for ALICE and from $99 a month for Hotel Effectiveness, are references rather than a rate card, and the full platform is enterprise territory. Opacity is a choice, and it tells you the vendor thinks the number would scare off prospects. For a European independent with 40 or 80 rooms, the maths almost certainly does not work.
Breezeway pricing
- Small portfolio $19.99/property/month
- Up to four units. Reasonable if you manage four holiday lets. The trouble starts with the word property, because a hotel room is entered as one.
- Five or more units Custom quote
- Above four you're into a sales conversation, and the pricing conversation stops being public.
The pricing doesn't translate to a hotel, and the reason is structural rather than expensive. My thirty rooms each go in as a separate property. At the small portfolio rate that's roughly $600 a month for a housekeeping scheduling tool. Sophie would close the browser tab at that point and so did I. This isn't Breezeway overcharging hotels, it's a product priced for a portfolio of holiday homes being asked to describe a building with thirty doors in it.
Prices as last verified during each review. Hotel software pricing moves, and per-room rates behave very differently at 20 rooms and at 200, so run the arithmetic at your own room count. Full detail on Actabl pricing and Breezeway pricing.

Actabl
Actabl is a private equity roll-up of four separate hotel tech companies, headquartered in Florida, backed by a PE firm managing $18.8 billion. The labour management tools are strong. Everything else is a sovereignty and integration problem dressed up in enterprise marketing.
-
Breezeway
A colleague recommended Breezeway for housekeeping. The scheduling works, the mobile app is decent, but the whole product thinks in vacation rentals, not hotel rooms. My staff could use it, but they shouldn't have to.
