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.
Optii Solutions pricing
- Custom quote Per room, per month, figure withheld
- The model is per room per month, which is standard for the category. The number is not published anywhere I could find. I had to book a call, describe my property, explain my needs and wait. The rep was knowledgeable and the call was efficient. I still shouldn't have needed it.
If I need a demo call to see your pricing, I already know it's too expensive. Or at least I know you think I'll be put off by the number without context. The reason it grates more here than elsewhere is that Optii sells on ROI, and you cannot evaluate a return without the cost side of the equation. Their materials reference a 500% ROI within months of implementation, which is the sort of claim that makes me reach for the calculator. Get your quote first, then model the saving against your own labour costs, not against their percentage.
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 Optii Solutions 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.

Optii Solutions
Optii claims its AI route optimisation can cut housekeeping labour costs by 18%. I tested it at my 80-room Amsterdam property with a spreadsheet in one hand and a stopwatch in the other.
