Best for scheduling cleaners and maintenance across rentals
Breezeway schedules cleanings and maintenance from your reservations, and the first property is free. It doesn't replace a PMS, and guest messaging, Guide, Assist and smart locks are paid add-ons.
Who Breezeway is for
- Fits if you coordinate cleaners and maintenance across many units
- Works for hosts with a single property, as the first one is free
Who Breezeway is not for
- Skip it if you want a PMS, as it takes reservations from yours
- Pricey if you need guest messaging, Guide, Assist or smart locks, which are all add-ons
- Watch out: plans for larger portfolios have no published price
- Watch out: the pricing page shows Host Essentials as both $19.99 and Starts at $19 a month

Keep Breezeway, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Breezeway you could make: job scheduling, tasks, inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $239.88 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, tasks, inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Breezeway’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
