Both platforms promise streamlined property care. Here is an honest look at where each excels — and where Properly goes further.
The Overview
Breezeway and Properly both help short-term rental operators run cleaner, more efficient properties. But they are built around different philosophies — and that difference matters when things go wrong at your property.
An end-to-end STR operations platform built around quality verification. Properly combines scheduling, photo checklists, a vetted cleaner marketplace, and a dedicated remote inspection team that reviews every turnover — so you get eyes on your property even when you cannot be there.
A property care and operations platform focused on task coordination, guest messaging, and maintenance tracking. Breezeway excels at large-scale operations management and guest experience tools, but relies on hosts or their own teams for quality verification.

Why Properly
Properly's dedicated inspection team reviews cleaner-submitted photos and gives a pass or fail — with specific feedback. Breezeway has no equivalent. This means with Properly, every clean has a third set of eyes on it.
Need a cleaner? Find one through Properly. Breezeway assumes you already have a team and simply helps you coordinate them. Properly can help you build that team from scratch.
Photo verification + third-party inspection creates accountability that checklist software alone cannot. Hosts using Properly's inspection service see a measurable drop in missed items and guest complaints.
No per-property pricing tiers for inspections. No hidden fees. At $5 per inspection and 15,000+ monthly inspections running through the platform, Properly is built for scale.
Beyond software, Properly offers a co-hosting service — taking on the day-to-day management of your property entirely. Breezeway is software only.
Remote inspections eliminate the need for hosts or managers to physically visit the property to verify cleaning quality — saving an average of over an hour per turnover.
Your cleaner says the job is done. The photos look great. But is your property actually guest-ready?
Properly Remote Inspections — peace of mind, built in.
