Free for renters. Forever.
Movrus is a free-for-renters rental operating system. We make money from landlords, service partners, and optional transaction infrastructure — never from the people looking for a home.

Optional transaction fees
Only if you choose to pay rent or deposits through Movrus. Standard payment-processor pricing — passed through, not marked up by us.
| ACH bank transfer (via Plaid) | $5 flat — paid by renter at checkout |
| Credit / debit card (via Stripe) | 2.9% + $0.30 — paid by renter at checkout |
| Movrus platform fee | 0.5% of rent + deposit on payment-day transactions |
| Application fee | $0 — applying is always free |
| Browsing, messaging, lifecycle | $0 — always |
What Movrus will never do
- Charge renters for basic access
- Gate listings behind a paywall
- Sell a "premium browsing" tier
- Disguise affiliate links as core UX
- Charge brokers' fees
Our wedge depends on renters feeling zero friction. We're structurally committed to keeping it that way.
Movrus is a free-for-renters rental operating system monetized through landlord subscriptions, transaction infrastructure, and local service partnerships.
