BedFlow vs Smoobu

BedFlow vs Smoobu — Channex cert + WhatsApp that Smoobu doesn't have

Smoobu is a popular German PMS, strong in the DACH vacation rental market. Solid base product with channel manager, booking engine and website builder. No Channex certification (in-house channel connections), no WhatsApp inbox and no Peppol/Belgian VAT flow. BedFlow is built for B&Bs in BE/NL that actually need those things.
