Every feature. One transaction fee.
There are no tiers, no add-ons and no subscription on Seayora: every capability is part of the account, and you pay a percentage only when money actually moves. Rent collected through Seayora carries a transaction fee of 2% for independent landlords and 1.5% for property management companies. Service pros pay 4% on what they invoice, once they have been paid — for a contractor that is the only cost there is. Renters and property owners pay nothing at all. The one other charge is advertising: Every listing advertises free for its first 60 days, then $9 per month for that listing — charged only while the unit is vacant, prorated by the day, and stopped the moment it rents. There is no charge to post, no setup fee, no subscription, and no brokerage fee. Tenant screening, where a landlord asks for it, is paid by the applicant, and can be ordered only while a consumer reporting agency is connected to Seayora. No brokerage fee, no setup fee, no gateway fee, no per-seat charge and no long-term contract.
Listing advertising — 60 days free, then $9 per month
This is the one charge tied to the listing itself, and it is the same for independent landlords and management companies. A listing is an advertisement, so Seayora only bills for it while it is doing advertising work: after the free 60 days, a vacant listing costs $9 per month, prorated at roughly $0.30 per vacant day and billed in arrears. When the unit is marked rented the meter stops that day. A fully occupied portfolio of any size pays $0 in advertising fees.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to list a rental on Seayora?
Each listing advertises free for its first 60 days. After that it is $9 per month for that listing, charged only while the unit is vacant and prorated by the day. Posting is always free, and there is never a brokerage fee.
Is Seayora completely free?
No, and we would rather be straight about it. The first 60 days of every listing are genuinely free — nothing charged and nothing owed. From day 61, a listing that is still vacant costs $9 per month. Separately, rent collected through Seayora carries a processing fee (2% for landlords, 1.5% for management companies), a service pro pays 4% on what they invoice, and a screening report, where one can be ordered, is paid by the applicant. Seayora is free for tenants paying rent from a bank account. There is no brokerage fee, setup fee, gateway fee, or subscription on any plan.
What happens on day 61 if my unit is still vacant?
The listing keeps running and starts accruing $9 per month, prorated at roughly $0.30 per vacant day. Charges are billed in arrears to the card on file, and all of a landlord's units settle in one charge rather than one per unit.
Do I keep paying $9 after the unit is rented?
No. Advertising billing is tied to vacancy. When the unit is marked rented, the meter stops that day, any partial balance is settled once, and the listing costs nothing after that.
Does each listing get its own free period?
Yes. The 60 free days are counted per listing from the day it is created, not per account, so a unit you list next year still starts with 60 free days.
Are there really no brokerage fees?
Correct. Seayora never takes a cut of the first month's rent and never charges a brokerage fee. Revenue comes from the per-listing advertising fee and a transparent processing fee on payments that flow through the platform.
How much do tenants pay?
Nothing to use Seayora, and nothing to pay rent from a bank account — searching, applying, paying rent and messaging your landlord are all free. Paying by card is optional and carries a 2.9% + $0.30 surcharge, the processor's cost passed through at par rather than a margin, and a debit card is taken with no surcharge at all. A screening report, where a landlord asks for one and a consumer reporting agency is connected, is paid by the applicant. Roommates splitting a rent payment share $19 a month for that home between them.
How do Service Pro payouts work?
The platform is free. When you get paid for a completed job, a 4% processing fee is applied — that is the whole charge, and a negotiated rate replaces it where one has been signed.
Is every feature included, or are they add-ons?
Included. Accounting, compliance monitoring, the shared calendar, messaging, voice and video calls, voice notes, the rent history behind rent reporting, and multi-device access are part of the platform, not paid tiers. The only charges are the per-listing advertising fee and the processing fee on payments.
Can I cancel anytime?
There is nothing to cancel, because there is no subscription and no long-term contract. Stop advertising a unit and it stops costing anything; the account itself is free to keep.
Do you help me move my existing data over?
Yes. Management companies get data migration at no charge, so a portfolio can come over with its units, leases and tenants intact. Nothing is published until you say so.
