Thanks to the B2B SaaS model it ensures a steady revenue stream while hotels enjoy immediate ROI. With the platform's enhanced flexibility, hoteliers can implement various strategies to create value for both the hotel and their guests.
The cost-of-entry for hotels is low, with a simple pricing structure:
One-time activation fee of €499.00/property
Monthly subscription fee of €2.50/room/month
ExpectMe currently offers a single subscription tier but is enhancing the platform to introduce multiple tiers, allowing for differentiated services and features at a premium fee. This will boost revenue and create more upsell opportunities with existing customers.
GROWTH FORECAST
Based on ExpectMe's growth, current deal pipeline and ability to generate new leads, the company expects to have 16,000 hotel rooms under contract by the end of 2025.

Estimates for 2027 are a long way off. The current plan is to have 66,000 rooms by the end of 2027, with the onboarding of larger hotel groups influencing the actual outcome and potentially even higher uplift.
