Consider the number of routes, who needs to follow along and which alert channel you use. ### Dean is a better fit when - one focused route is enough and you want the lower Radar entry price - you want a month-to-month choice between one, three or five search profiles - you want five profiles and WhatsApp in one month-to-month plan ### Stekkies is a better fit when - you want four searches within one subscription - you want travel-time search or broader tracking of applications and viewings - you want to track favourites and viewed homes in an app Neither service decides whether you receive a viewing or the home. The landlord or letting agent controls availability and selection. ## How Dean organises the search differently. Dean keeps search profiles separate. Your plan determines how many profiles run and which inboxes receive suitable matches. - **One to five search profiles** Separate cities, areas or budgets into profiles. Radar includes one, Signaal three and Atlas five. - **Email remains the base** Every Dean plan emails suitable fresh matches. Signaal and Atlas can email the same match to a search partner. - **WhatsApp with Atlas** Atlas adds WhatsApp alerts alongside email. A viewing or rental is never guaranteed. ## Questions about Stekkies and Dean. Short answers about pricing, features and what both services can and cannot do. ### What is an alternative to Stekkies?
