Sharetribe Pricing: $39.00 to $299.00/month

Honestly, I was on the fence when it was the Go product although I was still chatting with the team in Helsinki and learning to appreciate how supportive they were. When Flex was released, it was a no brainer. I was already hugely impressed by and confident in the team behind the product and, with Flex, Sharetribe delivered the look/feel we needed to launch a product that had to help us "build trust through design". Slam Dunk.

Obviously there are limitations to using any out of the box platform but imo Sharetribe are consistently adding new features and so my expectations are always surpassed based on the fact that we get to leverage a heavy hitting, well hosted, secure database technology for a monthly rental fee that has enabled us to do corporate deals at a global level.

We need a 'home' for the people in our community and we need our users to be able to filter and find their right-fit person easily. Sharetribe delivers that core functionality in spades.

Complete marketplace solution from ground up, including billing and multi tenants.

Need time to setup Flex. Sharetribe Go is very straight forward.

Streamline communication between parties, with price bidding and reviews.

Their team! Very reactive and helpful. Always available for any kind of question. The tool is extremely easy to use and customize. Their GO version is the ideal tool for marketplaces MVPs while the Flex is the most cost effective solution to grow.

Having to find a good external developer for the Flex version.

I created my first startup using Sharetribe (a baby gear rental marketplace) and first used it as an MVP to validate the idea with the market (timing and assumptions)

The customer service is just on another level. I've never received such an excellent customer service from any software company. They really care about you and your issue.

There is not really a downside. The software has a great design and all functions you need to get started with your marketplace (Sharetribe Go).

Thanks to Sharetribe, I was able to launch my marketplace for a fraction of what it would cost to build one.

Technology Customer Service Ease of Using

Nothing at the moment. Sharetribe is great to use!

We have been able to build out our tech in a low-cost manner yet with fantastic quality. Sharetribe is very easy to use and intuitive. Our customers are always going out of their way to tell us how much they appreciate our technology and it is all due to Sharetribe!

Sharetribe has been the best turnkey platform for building marketplace MVP's in my experience. I built Studiotime with it (www.studiotime.io), in addition to 10+ other marketplace MVP's. The platform can also be customized using front-end development with the hosted version as you scale. The team is also great and supports their customers. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the capabilities of the product, how I've modified/customized it to suite my needs, and how it might be suitable to you. You can see the Studiotime case study using Sharetribe at http://bit.ly/2gXICOV

Due to the lack of an API (currently), the hosted version is a bit tricky to modify but can certainly be done. This does require development/code skills, but is still much more cost efficient then building a custom marketplace.

I built the Airbnb for music studios Studiotime (www.studiotime.io) with Sharetribe. Sharetribe has allowed me to build an MVP as quickly as possible, focus on market validation, and easily scale the platform from the tech side.

Sharetribe has excellent help documents on every query I have had. Even if the feature is not offered, there is an article explaining a workaround. Super useful!

There are a few features that would be nice like integrated subscriptions and refining user actions like posting listings. The landing page could also offer a bit more features for the price. Quantity on items would be super helpful for stock management, and event items cannot currently be accommodated (i.e. x amount of tickets).

A platform that integrates back-end coding that can be accessed via a front-end interface. Startup can be done faster than getting a coder with less risk and time.

Pricing is reasonable with the number of features they provide.

Admin tools could be better with more insights.
