Both let you edit off a drive you already own. Strada charges for every person who does it.
Strada bills per user per month, from $8 to $45. Eleven editors cost $495 a month, and the bill grows with every person you add. KEIBIDROP has no per-seat price at all: the engine and CLI are open source and free for any number of people, and the commercial edition is a flat 99 EUR a month for the whole team.

Our figures are on the editions page. No per-seat fees, no per-GB transfer charges, no cloud storage bill.
The MPL-2.0 engine and CLI carry the full post-quantum encryption and full-speed direct transfers, and you can embed them in your own product. A shared public relay covers the case where a direct link is blocked, and you can run your own relay instead. Community support is on GitHub.
The 99 EUR edition adds relay bandwidth reserved for you, a relay in your region, a commercial licence for the desktop app, and support. For a team that wants the whole path on its own hardware, we set it up on your own infrastructure, where direct connections are unlimited.

The idea is the same and they describe it well. They differ on the pricing model, the platforms and the source.
No. LucidLink keeps a copy of your footage in their object storage and bills for the seats and the terabytes. The numbers are on the LucidLink page.
Most connections go straight between the two computers. When a router blocks incoming connections on both sides, a relay forwards encrypted bytes it cannot read. On the same Wi-Fi no relay is involved, and you can point the app at a relay you run yourself.
