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

Treatwell

  • Treatwell charges 35 percent commission on the first booking from a client introduced through its marketplace, and the rate is subject to location
  • Online prepayments carry an additional 2.5 percent processing fee plus VAT

  • The commercial model depends on marketplace introductions: there is no commission on direct or social media bookings, so the software is free only where the salon brings its own clients
