Hosthub vs Smoobu vs Tokeet Channel Manager

• 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.

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

• Tokeet says its Airbnb API updates instantly. It also lists inquiry pre-approval and guest messages. Check the setup guide for supported details and changes made when you connect.

• 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.

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.

• Tokeet lists Vrbo prices, guest messages and bookings through its API. Check the setup guide to see if your account qualifies.

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

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

• Tokeet lists a direct Booking.com API link. Check the setup guide for listing and payment limits.

• 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.

• 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.

• Tokeet lists direct Agoda, Expedia and Homeaway links, plus other partners. What you can share varies by booking site.

• 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.

• 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.

• Tokeet says named direct API links update open dates instantly. Do not expect the same timing from every iCal calendar link.

• 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.

• 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 Vrbo API lists price controls. Rategenie is a separate smart-pricing tool, not automatically part of the base Tokeet plan.

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

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

• Named direct API links share bookings and open dates. Rules for changes and cancellations vary by booking site.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• Tokeet lists Airbnb and Vrbo guest messages. Check inbox limits and which message channels your plan includes.

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

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

• Tokeet lists automation products and guest-message partners. Check which Automata rules cost extra rather than come with the base plan.

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

• 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.

• The API Hub offers guides and support for larger partners. A public price-data link does not confirm API access for hosts.

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

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

• 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.

• Tokeet says it charges no usage or booking fees. Other products and providers may charge extra. The calculator shows $179.90/month for 10 rentals. The page’s fixed example says $134.90 instead. Check which price applies.
