Rental Ninja vs BookingSync/Smily: The Full Toolkit Without the Commission

Rental Ninja runs on flat, transparent pricing you can see on the website — with a zero-commission flat plan — plus built-in accounting and a free, self-serve start with no setup fee. BookingSync/Smily charges 1.2% of your gross booking value, adds setup fees starting at €690, and leans on external tools for accounting. Add unlimited team members, an operations-first mobile app, and a platform built in-house by property managers, and you get the same core power with fewer costs and less friction.
