What each one costs
Flexkeeping pricing
- Per-user reference A figure of around $2 per user per month circulates
- This is the number that gets mentioned, not a published rate. I was told different figures depending on which sales conversation I was in, so treat it as a rough anchor rather than a quote you can hold them to.
- Full deployment Custom quote, sales call
- For a multi-property group with full feature access and PMS integrations, the real cost only appears after a conversation with sales. There is no public grid, no calculator, and no self-serve number for a group of our size.
Flexkeeping does not publish detailed pricing, which is a pet peeve of mine; if I need a sales call to see a number, you are starting from a deficit of trust. But the documented ROI, 283 per cent at WestCord and higher elsewhere, makes the cost question secondary. The real problem is not whether the tool is worth the money, it is that you cannot evaluate the money before committing to a conversation.
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 Flexkeeping pricing and Hoxell pricing.

Flexkeeping
Flexkeeping does housekeeping operations well and the ROI numbers from large groups are hard to argue with. But the Mews acquisition changes the calculus for anyone not on Mews, and the absence of public API documentation tells me something about where this product is heading.

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.
