What stays the same in a digital process
The data rules. The FDPIC (EDÖB) leaflet on application forms for rental flats, updated 15 July 2025, says that once the flat is let, the data of the other applicants must be destroyed as quickly as possible, and that applicant data should be open to the people who make the selection and to nobody else. Art. 6 Abs. 4 DSG: personal data are destroyed or anonymised as soon as they are no longer needed for the purpose.
The limits today
- No link to property management software yet. The hand-over is the CSV export.
- No e-signature. You sign the lease your usual way.
- Live Tours: 20 a month on Growth, 50 a month on Enterprise.
- Team seats and offices, house rules, Selection Bridge and the Briefing Agent, a morning summary of new applications per listing, are Enterprise extras.
Example
If a flat rents for CHF 2,400 a month, an empty day costs about CHF 80. If the digital process brings the decision 5 days earlier, that is CHF 400 of rent not lost on one letting. An example, not a promise.
Price
Growth costs CHF 499 a month at the launch price (regular CHF 999) for 10 active listings. Enterprise starts at CHF 1,999 a month. No setup fee, no fee per applicant. Talk to sales: info@aptari.ai.
