What do I get with aptari Pro, and when is Basic enough?

aptari Pro costs CHF 9.90 a month (launch price, normally CHF 15.90) and adds what an active search needs: alerts for new listings on your saved searches, 300 Apply with Aptari a month, AI cover letters in German, French, Italian and English, 1,000 Match Scores a month and full application tracking with CSV export. Basic at CHF 0 is enough if you browse now and then and send up to 20 prepared applications a month. New accounts get Pro free for 14 days, without a credit card, and then continue on Basic.

The three plans

*On listings from aptari partner agencies, as soon as partner agencies list on aptari; none have yet.

The prices for Pro and Ultra are launch prices. All plans are monthly, and you can cancel anytime.

Stay on Basic if

  • you are looking around and not moving in the next months,
  • you check the feed yourself and do not need to be told about new flats,
  • 20 prepared applications a month cover your search,
  • you write your own cover letter.

Basic is not a demo. The feed, the filters, the Tenant Passport and the application list all work at CHF 0.

Pro pays off when

  1. You need to be early. Alerts tell you about new listings on your saved searches. Basic has no alerts.
  2. You apply a lot. 300 prepared applications a month in place of 20.
  3. You apply across language regions. Cover letters from your dossier in four languages.
  4. You compare many flats. 1,000 Match Scores a month. The score runs from 0 to 100 and shows how well you fit a listing, from your income against the rent, your checked documents and the listing's smoking and pet rules. It measures fit, not your chance.

And Ultra?

Ultra adds the Apply Agent and removes the limits. The agent depends on partner listings, which do not exist yet. For most searches today, Pro is the bigger step.

How to decide without paying

Use the 14-day Pro trial during your most active weeks. If you never hit the Basic limits and did not miss the alerts, stay on Basic. A plan gets you there faster. It cannot promise a flat.
