Why Cribbi’s Pricing Model Is the Smarter, More Affordable Way to Find Qualified Renters
In a market flooded with overpriced lead-gen services and outdated marketing strategies, multifamily owners and property managers are rightfully asking a simple question: “Where is my money actually going?”
Between SEO retainers, paid ads, and apartment locators demanding up to 150% of one month’s rent as commission, the cost of finding a qualified renter has spiraled out of control. Even worse, many of these expenses come with no guaranteed results and zero performance transparency.
At Cribbi, we believe there’s a better way.
The Problem with Traditional Leasing Costs
Let’s break down what most owners are used to dealing with:
- Untrackable ROI from SEO and Ads
Many operators spend thousands of dollars a month on agencies, SEO, and digital ads—yet they rarely have a clear answer to how many leads actually convert. Even when traffic is reported, it’s not tied to leases, making it hard to justify the spend. - Apartment Finders Take Too Much
Traditional apartment locators charge 75%–150% of one month’s rent per lease. That adds up fast. And in many cases, you’re paying this fee whether or not the renter stays long-term. - Pay-to-Play Listings on Big Platforms
Most national listing sites prioritize properties that pay more. If you want your listing seen, you’re forced to spend even more just to “boost” your visibility. This creates an uneven playing field and inflates marketing budgets with no real performance guarantees.
Cribbi: Built for Transparency, Affordability, and Real Results
At Cribbi, we designed a pricing model that flips the script:
- Flat, Transparent Pricing
No commissions. No inflated placement fees. Just simple, predictable pricing you can budget around. You only pay when your unit is rented. - No Pay-to-Play. Ever.
We believe in a fair marketplace. That means no paid placements and no manipulation of visibility based on how much you spend. Every listing gets a level playing field—period. - Real-Time Performance Insights
You get access to actionable metrics like listing views, swipe-throughs, favorites, and inquiries. Know what’s working, what needs to be optimized, and how close you are to conversion—all in real time.
Why It Matters
Vacancy is expensive—but so is throwing money into marketing channels that don’t drive real results. At Cribbi, we believe that affordable leasing shouldn’t mean less visibility or fewer tools. Our platform is built to give you:
• Quality renters
• Transparent performance data
• No middlemen draining your margins
And most importantly: you only pay when it works.
