    CouchSurfing is based on free accommodation and is designed to facilitate personal connections between the host and surfer. Airbnb is focused only on the paid accommodation and is not used for personal connections, instead it is solely for a place to sleep.

    Couchsurfing as an idea is all about opening the door to people. Airbnb as a business model is all about slamming the door in local residents' faces. Even if Couchsurfing has gotten worse, it's still a relationship between heaven and hell.

    Free-to-use, open source, driven by community and volunteers, non-profit. BeWelcome is everything that CouchSurfin should have been.

    Like couchsurfing it is also a hospitality exchange network. Both sites share a lot of features. Still Bewelcome is missing a mobile website or an app. Bewelcome is community driven and open source. Couchsurfing is a profit oriented B-Corporation
