Vezpa is an Italian PMS combining channel manager, booking engine and EU regulatory connectors. Zero commission on OTA bookings. 14-day self-service free trial.
Widely used German international PMS, popular among Airbnb hosts and vacation rental managers.
Vezpa: 8 EU government connectors (IT, ES, HR, PT, CZ, AT, SI, HU NTAK + VIZA police). Smoobu: legacy integration with the Italian AlloggiatiWeb via partner, mainly focused on DE/AT/CH.
Vezpa: PayTourist tourist tax, ISTAT across 18 regions, integrated SDI e-invoicing. Smoobu: tourist tax is fine, but Italian e-invoicing is not native.
Vezpa: a single booking can include several apartments (handy for groups or extended families renting 2 units). Smoobu: one booking = one unit.
Vezpa: a spa module to book treatments during the stay, with separate invoicing and OpenAPI e-invoicing. Smoobu: not available.
Vezpa: the booking engine is published on your own domain (e.g. bookings.yourbnb.com) through a 3-step wizard. Smoobu: custom domain on higher plans, manual setup.
Honest comparisons go both ways. Here is where Smoobu is structurally stronger today.
Smoobu has been around since 2014 with a broad international user base. Vezpa is newer, focused on Italy plus EU expansion.
Smoobu was built vacation-rental and Airbnb-first; if you run 1-2 apartments without needing hotel modules, Smoobu is lightweight.
