HOMEBOY review
A focused rental search aggregator for renters who want faster multi-portal alerts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HOMEBOY is an apartment-search service for people looking to rent homes in Germany. It searches across multiple real-estate portals, including Immobilienscout24, Immowelt and Kleinanzeigen, then sends matching listings through its website, mobile app, email and other notification channels. Custom search profiles and filters help individual renters narrow results, while the product’s focus remains apartment discovery rather than landlord listing publication or property-management workflows.
Pricing is structured around access periods. The free plan provides a no-cost entry point, and the published pricing page shows a 7-day trial. The 1 Month plan costs €19 per month and includes searches across real-estate portals, four search profiles, four message receivers, plus mobile app and email notifications. The 2 Months plan costs €29 per 2 months, with the same listed highlights. The 3 Months plan costs €39 per 3 months and also includes those features. These packages suit renters who need active alerts during a defined apartment search, while the free option provides a lower-commitment starting point.
The main strength is breadth across the search process: HOMEBOY combines portal aggregation, filters, custom profiles and real-time notifications across web, iOS and Android. Push notifications in the mobile app and email delivery support prompt responses when new listings match a profile, with WhatsApp also available as a notification channel. Support is offered through email, phone and documentation. HOMEBOY is a sensible choice for solo renters and small households searching across several portals, but landlords, agents and property-management teams should choose a product built for listing publication, syndication, inquiry management or showing workflows instead.
