What each alternative gives you
| Alternative | What you get that the two large portals do not give you |
|---|---|
| Flatfox | Other homes: 9,513 of its 19,179 homes were on neither Homegate nor ImmoScout24. Online applications on its own listings |
| Cooperative websites | Cooperative flats, published by each cooperative on its own website |
| Comparis | Several portals in one search, with price comparisons |
| wgzimmer.ch | Rooms in shared flats |
| aptari | All three portals and about 800 cooperative websites in one feed, a Match Score on each listing, and one dossier for your applications |
Numbers: aptari feed, 9 November 2026. They change every day.
Why people look for an alternative
- The same homes twice. Nine in ten homes on Homegate are also on ImmoScout24.
- Typing everything again. Each application starts from zero.
- Paid extras. Both portals sell a paid subscription for earlier contact with advertisers. Searching is free on both.
What aptari does differently
- One feed. You search once, across the portals and the cooperatives. Free, no login.
- One dossier. You build your Tenant Passport once. Apply with Aptari writes your message with a private link to your dossier on listings from other portals and from cooperatives, wherever the button shows, and you send it.
- You see where you fit. The Match Score shows from 0 to 100 how well you fit a listing, with the facts behind it.
- You see where you stand. Every application and its status in one list.
aptari does not replace the portals: the listings come from them, and on their listings you still send your application there. It is the place where you see them together and prepare once.
aptari is not connected to SMG, Comparis or any of the sites named here.
