Free means the download price shown in the App Store. Homegate, ImmoScout24 and Flatfox are portals of SMG Swiss Marketplace Group. Comparis is a comparison site. This is a list, not a ranking.
When an app matters
- Push alerts. A native app can put a new advert on your lock screen. If reacting within minutes is your main goal, that is the reason to install one. Check each store listing for how its alerts work.
- One portal, used daily. If you search on a single portal, its app is the short way in.
When the browser is enough
- You compare several portals and do not want one app and one login per portal.
- You apply from a laptop, where your documents are.
What aptari does, and what it does not
- One feed. The rental listings of Homegate, ImmoScout24, Flatfox and about 800 housing cooperative websites, free and without login. Every advert is its own card, so the same flat can appear once per portal.
- Why that helps. 60% of the homes are advertised on two or more portals, and of 19,179 homes on Flatfox, 9,513 are on neither Homegate nor ImmoScout24 (aptari feed, 9 November 2026). A single portal app shows part of what is on offer.
- Alerts. Alerts for new listings on saved searches are part of Pro (CHF 9.90 a month, launch price), Ultra and the 14-day free Pro trial. Basic, at CHF 0, has no alerts.
- No install. aptari has no native phone app. It opens in the browser on phone and laptop, in German, English, French and Italian.
