Amenitiz vs Smoobu: Complete Comparison 2026

Smoobu is a channel manager and vacation rental tool built primarily for Airbnb hosts, apartment managers, and holiday home operators. Amenitiz is a complete hotel management platform designed specifically for independent hotels and B&Bs with 3 to 30+ rooms across Europe. The difference is not just about features: it is about who the product is built for. Amenitiz includes a front desk PMS, hotel booking engine, SEO-optimised website, AmenitizPay, and smart pricing in one subscription. Smoobu covers OTA sync well, but lacks the hotel-specific operations layer that a property with rooms, check-in procedures, housekeeping, and direct guest billing actually needs.

Smoobu works well for vacation rental hosts and apartment managers who need OTA synchronisation and guest communication tools. For hotels and B&Bs with a front desk, multi-rate structures, invoicing obligations, and direct booking goals, the platform shows its limits quickly. It has no native hotel payments solution, dynamic pricing is only available on the Teams Pro+ plan, and the website builder offers basic SEO with no expert support. Amenitiz was built from the ground up for exactly this property type.

Yes. Amenitiz connects to 150+ OTAs with real-time two-way synchronisation, included in all plans. Smoobu connects to 100+ OTAs, with a strong focus on vacation rental and short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. For independent hotels that rely on Booking.com, Expedia, Google Hotel Ads, and European regional OTAs, Amenitiz offers broader hotel-specific channel coverage out of the box.

Yes. Amenitiz offers PriceAdvisor, a smart pricing tool built into the platform that adjusts your room rates based on demand, seasonality, occupancy, and local market conditions, updating all connected OTAs instantly. Smoobu only includes dynamic pricing on its Teams Pro+ plan; on lower plans you need to connect an external tool. For hotels that need deeper revenue management, Amenitiz also integrates with PriceLabs at a discounted rate through the Amenitiz Marketplace.

Amenitiz includes AmenitizPay, a fully native hotel payment system covering deposits, pre-authorisations, payment links, and invoices, all inside your PMS, at a transparent rate of 1.4% + €0.25 per EU card transaction and 0% commission on direct bookings. Smoobu has no native payment functionality and relies on external processors like Stripe and PayPal, which means payments live outside your core management system and reconciliation is manual.

Yes. Every Amenitiz plan includes a hotel website built by hospitality experts, fully SEO-optimised, and natively integrated with the booking engine so guests book without leaving your site. Smoobu offers a basic website builder with limited SEO capabilities and no expert build service.

For independent hotels and B&Bs with 3 to 30+ rooms, yes. If you are using Smoobu primarily for OTA synchronisation and are patching together separate tools for payments, dynamic pricing, and your website, Amenitiz consolidates all of that into a single subscription. If you run a purely vacation rental operation with no front desk, no multi-rate hotel PMS needs, and no direct booking ambitions, Smoobu may remain a fit. But for any property that operates like a hotel, Amenitiz covers everything Smoobu does and significantly more.

Most hotels and B&Bs are fully live within 2 to 4 weeks. Amenitiz assigns a dedicated onboarding specialist in your language who handles data migration, including existing bookings, room configurations, and OTA reconnections. There is no gap in availability during the transition, and migration is included in all plans at no extra cost.

Amenitiz provides human support by phone, email, and chat in your native language (English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese), 7 days a week, with average response times under 2 minutes. It is rated 4.6/5 on Trustpilot from 4,800+ verified reviews. Smoobu operates a ticketing system with no direct contact with hotel specialists, and its Trustpilot score is 4.1. For independent hoteliers who need fast, multilingual, expert support, the difference is significant.

Amenitiz starts at €42/month and includes PMS, channel manager, booking engine, hotel website, payments, and smart pricing in a single subscription. Smoobu starts at €123/month per 10 rooms, and that price does not include dynamic pricing (Teams Pro+ only), a hotel website built by experts, or a native payments solution. When you account for the tools you need to add externally with Smoobu to reach the same level of functionality, Amenitiz is typically the more cost-effective choice for hotels and B&Bs.
