RedAwning vs Smoobu vs Tokeet Channel Manager

• The property-manager service says it puts listings on Airbnb and helps improve them. This does not confirm an API for hosts to use directly.

• 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.

• The property-manager service lists Vrbo. Agree on how listings, bookings and payments will be handled before setup.

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.

• The property-manager service lists Booking.com. Check which details it shares and the terms for who owns the guest relationship.

• 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.

• The property-manager offer lists 50+ sites beyond Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Expedia. What each link can do may differ.

• 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.

• The service lists calendar management and booking-site links. Check how it connects to your property software.

• 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.

• The service lists listing improvements, revenue management and biweekly performance meetings. Check which prices and stay rules it sends to each site.

• 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.

• RedAwning lists a management portal and calendar tools. Check how booking changes and cancellations move between sites and how long updates take.

• 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.

• 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.

• Tokeet says instant API updates. Actual speed and an exact iCal update schedule are not confirmed.

• The service lists messages in one place and 24 x 7 guest service. This is a managed service; check how much inbox control you get.

• 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.

• The plan for property managers lists messages and replies sent for you. The AI messaging tool has more ways to help guests.

• 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.

• The offer lists a personal website and a branded website with search-engine help. Check setup, branding and payment terms in the agreement.

• Paid plans list a website where guests can book. Flex charges a booking fee for this site and connected booking sites.

• Tokeet offers tools for direct bookings. Check which websites and booking tools your plan includes and which cost extra.

• The property-manager offer includes full payment processing and chargeback protection. Ask which amounts fees apply to and what is excluded.

• 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.

• Tokeet lists payment services. US fees and included payment or invoice tools depend on your chosen product and provider.

• Check which property-management tools work with RedAwning and which plan includes each link.

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

• Tokeet manages properties and booking sites. It lists pricing, messaging, payment and cleaning partners. We could not confirm a general channel-manager link for other property software.

• 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.

• The property-manager offer targets 10+ properties or units. We could not confirm a firm account limit. Homeowner plans are separate.

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

• Tokeet targets hosts with 1–5 and 5–1000+ rentals, but these are not confirmed account limits. Prices cover more than 300 rentals. We could not confirm the free-plan limit.

• PM Complete/Exclusive charges 10% commission for 10+ properties or units. Homeowner plans are separate: Essential 10%, Essential Plus 15%, Full Service 18%. The services differ. These are commissions, not fixed software fees.

• 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.

• The current calculator charges $19.99/month each for rentals 1–5 and $15.99 each for rentals 6–15. Later rentals have more price bands. Yearly billing uses separate rates. The page’s fixed example differs from the calculator, so check your quote.

• The property-manager page lists 10% commission, no setup fee and no monthly minimum. Ask which income counts toward the fee. Check booking-site charges, exclusions and yearly contract terms.

• 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.

• Start with a sales demo. RedAwning advertises no setup fee. Agree on who will move your data, connect booking sites and handle payments.

• 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.

• The price page offers a 15-day trial with no card or feature limits, plus help. Check renewal and cancellation terms, especially yearly-plan refunds.
