The published facts, in plain English
Smoobu is All-in-one PMS (EU). Published pricing: €29/mo +0.9% fee, or €31.50/mo 0%. There is a trial rather than a free tier. It sits on top of a property-management system, so you need a PMS as well. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Clean, cheap EU PMS; entry plan taxes every booking (HomeToGo-owned).
Who it’s for
Smoobu is an all-in-one Property Management System (PMS) based in the EU, suited for owners who need core integration functionalities. It is a mid-sized company that requires a PMS to operate.
Our take
The company provides a free trial, with paid plans costing €29 per month plus a 0.9% fee on bookings, or an alternative €31.50 per month with no additional booking fees. These pricing tiers are designed to be cost-effective for users within the EU market. Smoobu is identified as a clean and affordable option, with its entry plan applying a fee to every booking.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: Smoobu lists €29/mo +0.9% fee, or €31.50/mo 0%, while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
Smoobu is a solid, budget-conscious choice for EU owners needing a PMS. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

Questions to put to Smoobu
- “Is €29/mo +0.9% fee, or €31.50/mo 0% per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
