What each one costs
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.
Hoxell pricing
- Custom quote Sales call required
- No published figures and no tier structure. The rate depends on your property, which is the standard explanation in this category and no more satisfying here than elsewhere.
I'd rather evaluate a product against a published number, and Hoxell doesn't give you one. What I'd add is that the pricing conversation is the right moment to ask the questions that actually matter here, because they aren't on the website either: where the data sits, what the processing terms say, and who the sub-processors are. I read the DPA before I looked at the room status dashboard, and it held up. Ask for it before you ask for a discount.
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 Breezeway pricing and Hoxell pricing.

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.

Hoxell
Hoxell is Swiss, built by a real hotelier, and keeps your data under European law. I read the DPA before I looked at the room status dashboard. Here's what I found.
