The fifth search is not the only difference.
Alongside the maximum, consider the alerts, response-letter style and commitment that fit your daily search.
Dean is a better fit when
- one route is enough and you want to start at €14.95 a month
- email without a required app should remain the base
- you want five profiles and WhatsApp with Atlas
Rentbird is a better fit when
- you want five searches within one subscription product
- you prefer receiving alerts in an iOS or Android app
- you prefer an app and Rentbird's AI-generated response letter
Rentbird Plus is a €1,295 human rental-agent service and is therefore not treated as an alternative to a regular Dean subscription.
Dean lets alerts grow with your plan.
You do not have to start with the broadest plan. Begin with one route or choose Atlas when five routes and WhatsApp add practical value.
