What each one costs

Bookboost pricing

Customer Data Platform ~€2.20/room/month
Compulsory. Every other module sits on top of it, so this is the floor rather than an option, and it's the right way round: the data layer is the part of Bookboost I rate most highly.
Journey ~€2.80/room/month
Automated guest messaging across the stay. Optional, and the module most properties add first.
Inbox ~€2.80/room/month
The unified inbox, including WhatsApp Business API. This is what turned Bookboost into a proper messaging platform rather than a CRM that also sends messages.
Broadcasts ~€1.80/room/month
One-to-many campaigns. The cheapest module, and the one whose value depends most on whether you actually run campaigns.
Guest app €1.40/room/month
New since our review. Requires the Journey module.
AI agent €3.00/room/month
New since our review. Requires the Inbox module, and is the priciest single module on the list.
Insights platform €2.00/room/month, plus seats
New since our review. Creator seats are €200 a month and viewer seats €50, which is where Anna's complaint about exporting a CSV and doing the arithmetic yourself now has a paid answer.

There's a minimum of around €399 a month, which is the number that decides whether this is for you. Below roughly 60 rooms the minimum, not the per-room rate, is what you're paying, so a small property subsidises a pricing model built for larger ones. Add the modules you need to the compulsory data platform before comparing: the CDP alone is not a messaging tool, and the realistic configuration is CDP plus Journey plus Inbox, not the headline €2.20.

Quicktext pricing

Premium From $299/month
The only tier shown, priced on room count. Bundles eleven products under the new Q- naming, Q-Data, Q-Channel, Q-SEO, Q-Sales, Q-Task, Q-Connect, Q-Hub, Q-Automate, Q-Mail and Q-BI, alongside the fourth-generation Velma chatbot.

Two things moved at once. The rebrand Thomas described as half-finished is now complete: quicktext.im redirects permanently to quinta.im and the site brands itself Quinta throughout, so his complaint about both names circulating is out of date. And the headline price moved from roughly €250 a month to $299, quoted in dollars. For a Paris company selling mainly to European hotels that is worth noticing, because you now carry the exchange risk on a monthly subscription. The product names in our review no longer match the vendor's either.

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 Bookboost pricing and Quicktext pricing.
