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.
RoomChecking pricing
- Entry From $199/month
- Works out around $2.50 per room per month depending on property size. A published starting figure, which after a run of vendors in this category who won't name one is a small mercy.
- Volume Discounts for larger operations
- Available above the entry level. As ever, the detail arrives in a conversation rather than on a page.
There's a free trial but no free tier, so you can test properly before committing without running it indefinitely on nothing. For a 45-room property, $199 a month isn't expensive if it saves your supervisor half an hour a day and stops the sort of miscommunication that puts a guest into an uncleaned room. That's happened to me twice in four years, both times because a paper handover failed between shifts. A digital system that catches those failures is worth real money. Whether this particular one earns it depends less on price than on whether your staff can read it, which is a separate problem I'd test first.
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 RoomChecking 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.

RoomChecking
I tested RoomChecking across my three English properties because the flexibility promise sounded right for multi-property operations. Some of that promise held up. Some of it didn't survive contact with a Tuesday morning housekeeping briefing.
