Hosthub vs NextPax vs Smoobu

• A Host Admin must approve the link to an existing account. Actual bookings import, but inquiries and manual date blocks do not. Block dates in Hosthub. The connection turns Instant Book on and Airbnb Smart Pricing off.

• Follow the setup guide to link your Airbnb account. Your property-management software or Supply API controls where the data comes from.

• Link your Airbnb account and match its listings to Smoobu properties. Smoobu sends prices and open dates. It receives bookings and cancellations.

• Hosthub’s home page lists a direct Vrbo API. The PriceLabs guide describes a mix of direct and iCal calendar links, with slower updates. Do not assume every Vrbo detail updates instantly.

• Follow the partner setup steps and meet Vrbo’s listing and payment rules. The Americas FAQ explains how bookings are handled.

Details: Vrbo iCal

• Vrbo, FeWo-direkt and Abritel use two iCal calendar links. Set prices and stay rules on Vrbo. Imports usually take 10–20 minutes. Vrbo may take up to 24 hours to collect updates.

• Connect your Booking.com account and match listings to rentals. This does not create a Booking.com account or import past bookings.

• Follow the Booking.com setup guide. Match its price plans, stay rules and listing details.

• Connect each Booking.com property and match its rooms and price plans. Use Smoobu to send prices and open dates.

• Hosthub lists 200+ booking sites. Direct API and calendar links work differently. Its no-double-booking promise applies only to direct API links. Check the provider’s contract terms.

• NextPax lists sites beyond Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Check each site’s rules. Links to global travel-agent systems (GDS) cost extra.

• Other booking sites use direct connections or iCal calendar links. What you can share depends on the connection. iCal shares open and booked dates only.

• Match listings to send prices and open dates through direct links. Manage manual Airbnb date blocks in Hosthub. Booking approval and calendar rules differ. Vrbo uses a mixed connection.

• Supported property software shares bookings, open dates, prices and listing details both ways. White Label Supply API connects your own system. These links share more than calendar dates.

• Direct links work both ways. Each iCal calendar link works one way, so set up both import and export. Add existing outside bookings during setup. Set up the first price update too.

• PriceLabs sends prices, minimum stays, extra-guest charges and weekly/monthly discounts through Hosthub. Booking-site fees and price adjustments apply. When PriceLabs manages these values, change them in PriceLabs.

• Set multiple price plans and policies, plus price increases for each site. Booking.com policy overrides are listed too. Extra charges must use fields that the booking site supports.

• Smoobu sends prices and open dates through direct connections. Some settings stay on the booking site. The Vrbo iCal link does not send prices.

• The first connection does not import old bookings. Airbnb inquiries and manual date blocks are not bookings. Follow the booking and calendar setup guide.

• The property-software and Supply API links share bookings. Rules for changes depend on each booking site.

• Bookings and cancellations from connected sites appear in one calendar. You must add or import bookings from other sources.

• Direct updates start after you approve and match the connection. PriceLabs sends daily updates to Hosthub. Its guide says Vrbo’s mixed connection takes hours. The homepage’s real-time claim does not apply equally to every detail.

Details: White Label API

• The Supply API price table says updates happen in real time. This covers dates, prices, listings, messages, reviews, offers and bookings. Actual speed is not confirmed.

• Airbnb and Booking.com direct updates arrive within a few minutes. Vrbo imports usually take 10–20 minutes. Vrbo may take up to 24 hours to collect updates.

• Standard includes Unified Inbox. Pro adds AI co-host and more team-role controls. Check each booking site’s message limits.

Details: Supported PMS; White Label API

• Supported PMS and White Label API list Unified Inbox. The note names Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and Vrbo. Ask how to set it up, which accounts qualify and each site’s limits.

• Paid plans list guest messaging in one place. A calendar-only link does not confirm that you can send messages through that site.

• Standard includes automatic messages. Pro adds AI co-host. Standard’s scheduled messages are not the same as AI replies sent without review.

Details: Supported PMS; White Label API

• Supported PMS and White Label API list Messaging & Reviews through NextPax Automation. Ask which events send messages and what setup, schedules and limits apply.

• Smoobu lists automatic guest messages. Which booking sites can receive them depends on your connections.

• Booking Engine costs $599 once. Website Builder is separate at $799 once. These purchases are not included in the main plan bill.

• The plans list a booking tool for hotel-style and single-owner properties. Google Vacation Rentals and Hotels links are also listed. Ask about setup and extra fees.

• Booking Engine offers Invoice/Pay upon arrival, PayPal and Stripe Connect. Card and Apple Pay payments are listed. Link your payment service first. Fees depend on your merchant account.

• Hosthub lists 20+ links for pricing, locks, noise and cleaning. The PriceLabs guide explains which details it sends and where to change them.

• NextPax lists Hostfully, Escapia, Ciirus, Track and other software links. It also describes a way to connect with few or no property software tools. Check if your business qualifies.

• Smoobu lists links to pricing tools. We could not confirm a general link to other property-management software.

• Open API shares user, rental and booking data. Hosthub offers help for developers and partners. Ask about API fees, allowed tasks and request limits.

Details: White Label API

• White Label API connects your own system. Supported PMS is a separate option. Check whether your plan includes Promotions API.

• Developers can use an API key and receive automatic updates called webhooks. Ask support to allow API keys during a trial. The HMAC guide explains how to sign requests. Only the from/to booking-date filters currently work.

• Hosthub invites hosts with over 100 rentals to ask for a better price. This does not mean accounts stop at 100 properties.

• Both plans target 50+ units or rooms. The $350 monthly minimum covers the first 50. Ask whether smaller accounts qualify. We could not confirm a firm minimum or maximum account size.

• Ask for a price above 20 properties. We could not confirm a maximum number of properties per account.

• The monthly price is $27 for rental 1. Rentals 2–10 cost $16 each. Rentals 11–30 cost $12 each. Rentals 31–100 cost $7 each. Rentals 101+ cost $5 each. Yearly billing lowers the monthly equivalent by 20%. Pro adds 0.7% of net booking value to the fixed plan price.

• The USD $350 monthly minimum includes the first 50 units/rooms. Extra units are advertised at $4 monthly or a $3.60 monthly equivalent on yearly billing. It is unclear if the minimum also gets the yearly discount.

• Professional Prepaid costs €35 a month for the first property. Each extra property costs €12 a month. The yearly discount is 10%. The two-year discount is 20%. Flex costs €29 for the first property plus a 0.9% booking commission. Contact the vendor for Flex. Teams Pro costs €55 for the first property. Confirm the exact Flex rate for extra properties.

• Pro charges 0.7% of net booking value processed each month, excluding fees and taxes. This is added to the fixed plan price. Revenue Booster costs $75/property/booking site. Website Builder costs $799. Booking Engine costs $599. These charges are separate.

• You pay at least $350/month despite the advertised price per unit. Global travel-agent system (GDS) links, outside services and NextPax Payments by Stripe may cost extra.

• Flex charges 0.9% on connected-site and Booking Engine bookings. Users who can make changes cost €15/month, with no yearly discount. Read-only access is free. Check the billing currency; displayed conversions may differ. Smoobu’s guides disagree on website booking fees. The Flex guide says 0.9%, so check your agreement.

• All plans include free setup, 24 x 7 support and a 14-day trial. Pro adds priority support and extra setup help. A Host Admin and existing booking-site accounts are needed to turn on API links.

• Plans list one-to-one setup help and chat, email and phone support. Some plan details mention priority support. Check what your agreement includes.

• Add your properties and match the booking-site connections before turning them on. Smoobu offers a 14-day trial. Check your plan’s cancellation terms, especially if you paid in advance.
