Fee model
Flat 8% booking fee
~15 to 20% combined host and guest fees

Hosts set rates off-platform; no rate standardization
RFQ-driven, so the requesting party's budget tends to pull rates higher
Cost to companies
One flat booking fee, shown in full before you confirm
Service fees added at checkout, on top of the nightly rate
No booking cost, because there is no booking. You negotiate direct
Placement fee on every confirmed stay
