Smoobu at a glance

While Smoobu offers basic automation like scheduled messages and multi-channel sync, it lags behind in several key areas. It does not support AI automation, has no Google Vacation Rentals integration, and lacks co-hosting and property management capabilities.

Smoobu at a glance

Smoobu offers basic automation tools like scheduled messaging and multi-channel syncing. However, it lacks key modern features: there’s no AI-powered automation, no Google Vacation Rentals integration, and no tools for co-hosting or property management. It offers a 14-day free trial, a proprietary dynamic pricing tool (available only as a paid add-on), and a limited selection of integration partners.
