Which is better for a guest room?

The Pinmoco. Its steel frame and 12 in clearance handle occasional use and give you room for luggage or bins. The platform daybed's drawers and outlets matter more in a room used daily.

Which holds more weight?

The platform daybed, at 900 lbs versus 660 lbs for the Pinmoco. Both figures come from the makers, so treat them as claims rather than tested limits.

Is the platform daybed worth about $210 more than the Pinmoco?

Only if you want the drawers and charging station. The Pinmoco has no price listed here, so compare its current store prices before deciding.

Which is better for kids?

The platform daybed. Its 9.8 in height is easier for small children to climb, and buyers say kids like the app-controlled lights. The Pinmoco's 12 in height and guardrails also work for older children.

Do either need a box spring?

No. Both are platform designs with slats included, so a mattress sits directly on the frame.

The Pinmoco's steel frame is the safer bet for long-term durability. The platform daybed is pine and fabric, and some buyers report it arriving shorter than expected.
