Compare and contrast - everyone's least favorite five paragraph essay assignment. The author skips the grade school format and opts for a much more useful breakdown of Airbnb and VRBO side-by-side, covering aspects from both the guest and host sides.

The article gives the hosting edge to Airbnb in most every category including the superhost program, user experience, and communication features. One place VRBO can win hosts over is through its annual flat fee commission option. Hosts are given the option to either pay VRBO fees at a) 5% commission rate plus 3% card processing fee or b) an annual flat fee of $499. The math starts working for the annual fee when you know you'll have $10,000+ in VRBO bookings for the year.
