Where OkupAI makes the difference
Everything a DACH stay requires, not only the messages
Compliance is part of the workflow
Feratel registration, Ortstaxe in checkout, and PDF invoices come out of the same booking record. Hospitable leaves registration and local tax to you.
Euro pricing per unit, every feature on one price list
Plans are priced in euros per managed unit with volume tiers, instead of USD base fees plus per-property add-ons that change with each plan.
Built for teams, hotels, and owners
Multi-room inventory, cleaning teams with schedules, a damage register, and unlimited scoped owner dashboards are included rather than reserved for the top plan.
