Which one is for you
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
Pick Tokeet if
- Fits if you manage 5 or more rentals and want the price per rental to fall as you add them
- Works for hosts who list on Expedia and Agoda as well as Airbnb and Booking.com
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the PMS is now sold as AdvanceCM, so sign-up, login and the apps carry a different name from the website
- Watch out: the pricing page disagrees with itself, showing older prices ($134.90 for 10 rentals) beside the current ones
- Skip it if you have under 5 properties, as the company points small owners to its separate Sympl product
- Pricey if you want dynamic pricing or workflow automation, which are the separate products Rategenie and Automata
- Tight if you plan to stay free, because the free plan's limits aren't stated on the pricing page

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
