Comparing it to the Camo system, the Kreg looks like it would take 3-4 times longer, and on top of that the proprietary Kreg screws are normally a lot more expensive than the proprietary Camo screws.
Only plus I see is the Kreg tool can be used with pretty much any decking, where Camo uses a different tool for different deck spacing/widths. But when I think about it, even that isn't as big a deal as it sounds. A DIYer is probably only going to build a few decks, and most likely they will use the same decking to match. For a pro, owning a couple of different sized tools at $50 each is nothing compared to saving hours of labor on each job, and after the first deck, you'll save that much on screws.
Am I missing something here, or is that why the Kreg is being clearanced out?

Thanks for the heads up on the screws. I got 4 boxes of 700 for $24 each
That's 1400 spacers to move, 700 holes to drill, 700 screws to screw, and 700 times moving the jig for about a 12x14 deck.
Contrast that to something like the Camo deck system which drills and screws and spaces all at the same time, and the tool sets up both sides of the plank so you only place the tool once for every 2 screws. 350 times moving the jig, and 700 screws. No spacers to move, no drilling.

Yeah I checked those out. Definitely looks faster but a 700 count of screws was $70 so you're paying for that speed. If I was doing this a lot or using someone else's money I'd definitely go Camo.
Kreg screws for 2x are a lot more $$ too: https://www.kregtool.co
Would you say you were screwed if this happens 🤔

I built my first and only deck using the camo system and can report that it is fantastic and very beginner friendly as well. The screwless look is really clean too.
