Bottom Line
STS is dramatically cheaper for hosts — especially if you get steady bookings — because you avoid losing 15.5% (or more historically) of every reservation to the platform. The trade-off is that STS has far lower traffic and brand recognition than Airbnb, so hosts often use it as a supplementary listing site (e.g., linking to their Airbnb page for exposure while capturing direct bookings at full rate). If your goal is maximum profit per booking and you’re willing to handle more of the marketing/booking process yourself, STS offers a much lower-cost alternative in the Australian short-term rental space.
