Apartment hunters in San Francisco describe a repetitive manual loop: checking Craigslist, then multiple property manager sites, encountering duplicate listings, losing track of good ones, and maintaining an ad hoc spreadsheet to keep it all straight.

Commercial Real Estate Data Costs Too Much for First-Pass Investment Scans
CoStar and similar enterprise CRE data platforms are prohibitively expensive for small investors and analysts doing initial property screening. The per-seat cost makes it impractical to run lightweight qualification passes at scale. A $5/1k-listing API tier addresses this gap directly.
Exporting structured rental listing data is cumbersome
Real estate teams and researchers need clean, structured datasets from rental listing sites but must rely on fragile manual exports or generic scraping tools.
