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.
Sweeply pricing
- 30-day free trial €0
- A full month, which is long enough to cover a real changeover weekend rather than a quiet Tuesday. For a seasonal property that's the difference between a demo and a test.
- Guest Connect From €1/room/month
- The published module, and at thirty rooms that's €30 a month. Modest enough that the decision comes down to whether the tool works for your staff rather than whether you can afford to find out.
Modular, so you pay for the parts you switch on, and the published rate starts low. After being caught out by a surprise line on a different vendor's invoice, I asked what the full configuration would cost rather than the entry module, and I'd suggest you do the same before the trial ends. The thirty days matter more than the euros here. Use them on a busy week, with the staff who will actually use it, not with you clicking through it alone in the office.
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 Sweeply 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.

Sweeply
I handed Sweeply to Nikos and Katerina and watched. The colour-coded boards made sense to both of them inside twenty minutes. But the reporting left me wanting, and I still don't know many small hotels using it.
