Upbridge and Breezeway.
Breezeway is bigger, and there a cleaning company usually comes in as a vendor inside the manager's login. In Upbridge the account can belong to the manager or to the cleaning company, and everything is in Mexican Spanish.
Which one should I pick, Upbridge or Breezeway?
If your operation is very large, your team speaks several languages or you need preventive maintenance and smart locks, Breezeway goes further. If your team is in Mexico and already organizes itself on WhatsApp, Upbridge fits you better. Cleo, our AI operations assistant, joins those chats, builds the tasks and hands them to each person, and you also get photo checklists and inventory per house, all in Mexican Spanish.
What each one does, today.
Breezeway's numbers come from their site. The Upbridge side is what you can use in Mexico today.
| Topic | Breezeway | Upbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Where | They publish 350,000+ properties in 90 countries. | Mexico. Mexican Spanish end to end, including the cleaner’s app. |
| Cleaning checklists | Mobile lists, photos, several languages. | Room-by-room list on the phone, with photos and comments, chat with the cleaner, and whichever items you mark as required. Timestamped report when they finish. |
| Inventory | Inventory, and they can deduct supplies from the cleaning list. | Inventory per house. Auto-consume rules (not a barcode on the list). It deducts automatically by task or by reservation, depending on how you set it up. Low-stock alerts in the app, email and WhatsApp. |
| Guest guides | Digital welcome book, and you build it yourself. | We build it for you, with that house’s check-in. The guest opens a link and downloads nothing. |
| Extras (early check-in, etc.) | The guest requests and pays for extras inside their welcome book, sent by SMS or WhatsApp. | They request it in the guide and pay on Upbridge, and from there we coordinate it: the task reaches the cleaner without you lifting a finger. |
| Calendar and tasks | Workflows and team assignment (on their site). | Connect Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify or Uplisting, or import iCal. That updates the calendar here, and what hangs off each stay: checkout can create the task; lists also repeat on a schedule; assign if configured. Your PMS stays your PMS; we read its calendar and write nothing back. |
| Guest check-in | Guest verification inside their platform. | Online check-in with ID verification. The guest uploads their ID before arrival, and you turn on a PIN and a contract if you want them. |
| AI | AI agents inside their platform: they answer the guest and support the team. | Cleo, our AI operations assistant, works inside WhatsApp. She reads your team’s WhatsApp chats, builds the tasks and assigns them. You write to her and ask for things the way you would ask anyone on your team, without opening the app. She only sees the chats you add her to, the same as anyone new on your team; she does not touch the rest of your WhatsApp. |
| Who we are | A large company, with a sales team and one product for everybody. | A small team. If your operation needs something different, you tell us and we make it fit. |
What Breezeway has that we do not.
- Scale, preventative maintenance and smart locks.
- The team app in ten languages, if your operation is not Spanish-speaking.
What we do have.
- Mexican Spanish in the app the cleaner actually opens.
- Cleo, our AI operations assistant, reads the operation on WhatsApp, builds the tasks and assigns them. You never open a platform to hand out the work.
- Check-in with ID verification, and extras paid inside the guide: when the payment lands, the task comes out on its own.
- We build the guide and the inventory catalog with you. No empty screen.
- Your team is already on WhatsApp. The clean’s evidence stops living in the group.
Is Upbridge an alternative to Breezeway in Mexico?
Yes. You get photo checklists, guides we build for you, inventory per house, check-in with ID verification and Cleo, our AI operations assistant, on WhatsApp, all in Mexican Spanish. Breezeway is bigger and goes further on maintenance and locks. If your team already lives in WhatsApp and the pain is knowing whether the house is ready, Upbridge fits you better.
Do you have AI?
Yes, and it lives on WhatsApp. You write to it the way you write to anyone on your team: it reads your team’s WhatsApp chats, builds the tasks and assigns them. If you want to know how a house is doing, you ask it and it answers.
Does Upbridge inventory deduct when a clean is completed?
Yes. Automatically by task or by reservation, depending on how you set it up. Hand movements too. Below minimum: app, email and WhatsApp.
