Isn't Airbnb doing the same?

  How so? Is Airbnb colluding with competitors?

    I think Airbnb recommends a price to set your place to? I know there's also some external software that do that too. Based on the understanding of the post, I think both of those would be considered price colluding.

  No, because Airbnb is sharing market information with you, and is quite happy for you to undercut the market to drum up demand, or raise prices if you think you’ve got a winner, which keeps market efficiencies intact. What’s described in the article is a bunch of estate agents agreeing to use a price recommended by 3rd party software and minimize cheating on that price, which is price fixing.
