The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Airbnb guests pay a service fee of 14.1% to 16.5% of the booking subtotal on top of the nightly rate; Kudos kudos publishes no price for any of its three tiers (Basic, Plus, Enterprise); the entire plans page gates every tier behind "Request a Demo" or "Request a Trial" with only a discount for not-for-profit organizations over 100 employees mentioned, no figures given (archived plans page, 22 February 2021)
