Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Airbnb

  • Guests pay a service fee of 14.1% to 16.5% of the booking subtotal on top of the nightly rate
  • Hosts on the split-fee structure pay a further 3% fee, rising to 4% for listings in Brazil and Mexico, or up to 16% under the single-fee structure

Clay

  • Two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently
  • Data credit overage is sold at a 30% premium over the plan rate, so exceeding the allowance costs more per unit than planning for it
  • The free plan allows 500 actions, 100 data credits and 200 rows per table
  • The entry paid plan starts at $167 a month, and both paid prices are starting figures rather than fixed
  • The free plan cannot buy overage at all, so hitting the limit stops work rather than billing for it
