Smoobu Flex or Prepaid? The booking value where the 0.9% fee costs more

Smoobu sells the same features two ways. Professional Prepaid costs €35 a month for one property with no booking fee. Professional Flex costs €29 a month plus 0.9% of your bookings. Which one is cheaper depends on how much you book.

The break-even point

The difference between the two plans is €6 a month. On Flex you pay 0.9% of the bookings that come in through your connected channels and Smoobu's booking engine. 0.9% equals €6 when you take about €667 a month in bookings.

Below €667 a month, Flex is cheaper. Above it, Prepaid wins, and the gap grows with every booking. Each extra property adds €12 a month on both plans, so the €6 difference and the €667 break-even stay the same whether you have one property or five.

Over a year, the line sits at about €8,000 of bookings. A single apartment that books well usually passes that, so Prepaid suits most full-time listings. Flex makes sense for a place you rent a few weekends a year.

Two details to check

Flex has no self-service checkout. Smoobu's help centre says you contact its team to switch it on.

Prepaid gets cheaper again if you pay yearly or for two years. Those discounts apply to Prepaid and Teams Pro+, which widens the gap in Prepaid's favour if you're happy to commit.
