A website like this lives and dies on their inventory more then their userbase. AirBnB doesn't have a listing fee, which differentiated them from traditional vacation rental places like VRBO. How is a competitor going to get a competitive inventory?
- anon1385 12y agoBy being cheaper and by doing what AirBNB did - scrapping and spamming.

- smackfu 12y agoInteresting, VRBO definitely changed their pricing model recently. It used to only be the $350 upfront type, so it only made sense for actual vacation homes. I know a lot of people were dual listing their VRBO places on Airbnb (because Airbnb is free), and I bet VRBO was not getting the renewal numbers they wanted.
