Servers, NZ data APIs, and ongoing development all have monthly costs, and a subscription matches them honestly. No investors, no ads, no selling your data.

Your first 30 days are unlimited, free. No card, so it never turns into a bill.

It isn't empty when you sign up

Demo houses are already there with notes, research and a timeline filled in. Poke around, then clear them when you're ready.

You choose who sees it

A house stays private until you invite someone or send a share link. Each person can edit or just view: your partner edits, your broker only reads.

Nothing gets lost

Archive the ones you pass on. If one's relisted, your notes are waiting. Download everything any time.
