Why HostBeez Wins

Payment Methods: Smoobu doesn't support Razorpay or UPI. Your guests would need to pay via credit card or international payment methods—but most Indian travelers prefer UPI.

Pricing: HostBeez starts at ₹199/month. Smoobu costs 10-15x more in India due to currency conversion and international pricing.

Support: HostBeez has local Indian support. Smoobu's support is based in Germany with limited understanding of Indian business needs.

Setup: Smoobu is designed for complex property management. HostBeez is simpler and faster to set up for direct bookings.
