Yo can anyone say what the average masternode payout is per day? I tend not to trust masternodes sites as they seem to be wrong usually!

I've switched from staking and it seems that masternodes earn a lot less than staking?!

hmm... Is this true? If so, is this working as intended?

I have found that running a masternode we'll get between 1.6 to 2.4 XLR daily. On 600 XLR staking I found that I got 9 stakes sometimes 10 stakes per day. So that is around 2 XLR daily from 600 XLR which I had split into 150 coin blocks and not in one large block. So going by my stats it does seem that staking earns a little more but remember this can change in the near future as more people start staking. Then MN will be paying more as long as the number of MN remains the same at around 700. I think people need to find the right balance and see what works best for them and go from there.

Presently staking seems more profitable probably because there are more masternode online as compared to less stakers.

Yes there are many factors in which earning more XLR either from staking or masternodes, right now it seems staking is the better option however I have also notice that staking difficulty is rising as more people start to stake. So I think in a month or so it will switch back to masternodes earning more XLR then staking. Also later in the year once txbit is launched, having a masternode would be the better option as we then get rewards from the exchange for owning a node, stakers will as well but not as much as masternode holders so we will see a switch I think soon.

Exact.
Furthermore, having a masternode does not only mean receiving higher prizes than simple staking but MN also helps to stabilize the network, as well as having more returns when the txbit exchange is launched and operational.

Today a Solaris masternode costs about $ 8,000, which is how much a Dash masternode cost 18 months ago, and XLR has 1/8 of the DASH coins.
