FAQ
Can we migrate from Smovin to SEIDO?
Yes, Excel/CSV import of units, leases and contacts. Accounting history remains in Smovin if you continue accounting elsewhere; SEIDO adds the operational layer on top.
Can both be used in parallel?
Yes. Several agencies use Smovin for accounting/legal and SEIDO for multi-channel centralisation and operational tracking. The two tools are not competing on the same tasks.
What is the pricing difference?
SEIDO: €5/unit/month (or €50/unit/year). Smovin: variable pricing per tier, contact them for a custom quote.
