iGMS vs Smoobu (2026): which should you pick?

Pick iGMS if

• Fits if your rentals sit empty some months and you'd rather pay per booked night
• Works for Airbnb hosts adding Vrbo and Booking.com who want one inbox

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want owner statements or dynamic pricing, which need PRO+ at $56 a property a month billed yearly
• Watch out: dynamic pricing works only in the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the UK and Spain
• Watch out: a listing on several sites counts as separate properties unless you group them
• Tight if you pay yearly with under 10 properties: it's charged up front, and leaving early bills you the monthly price
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as the Free Plan pilot the site mentions isn't on the pricing page

Pick Smoobu if

• Fits if you rent a few apartments or a B&B in Europe and pay in euros
• Works for hosts who list on Booking.com and Expedia as well as Airbnb

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: subscriptions are billed in euros, and the dollar and pound prices on the page are only estimates
• Pricey if you add units or people: each extra unit is €12 a month before discounts, and write-access accounts start at €12
• Not for you if you want dynamic pricing built in, as it's a separate product, with two months free on Pro+
• Tight if you manage for owners, since no owner statements or cleaning tasks are on record
• Watch out: cancelling takes 30 days' notice and only ends the plan at the next renewal

iGMS

• After the first property, iGMS charges only for properties booked at least once that month; listings on several sites count separately unless grouped.
• Annual plans under 10 properties are charged up front, and cancelling early switches you to monthly prices for the months used.
• Dynamic pricing on PRO+ is offered only in the US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the UK and Spain.
• The site mentions a Free Plan pilot at $0 a month with a 4% fee on direct payments, but the pricing page does not offer it.

Smoobu

• Subscriptions are billed in euros; the dollar and pound prices on the page are estimates at the exchange rate.
• Each extra unit adds €12 a month before discounts, and extra write-access accounts start at €12 a month.
• Plans can be cancelled with 30 days' notice, and cancellation takes effect at the next renewal.
• Smoobu Dynamic Pricing is a separate product; Pro+ includes two months of it free.
