Quick Summary
Furnished Finder charges landlords a flat annual subscription of $199 per listing as of January 2026, with add-on units at the same address at $149 per year and entire hotels or apartment complexes at $750 per year, rising to $1,000 on October 27, 2026. There’s no booking commission and tenants pay no guest service fees, so hosts keep 100% of the rent. Optional costs include a Listing Setup Service at checkout and tenant screening at $44.99 per applicant, which the applicant pays by default. Taxes are added at checkout and the subscription renews automatically each year.
Furnished Finder’s pricing is simple: one flat fee. Most landlords and hosts will pay $199 per listing per year. That said, the January 2026 price change added a few nuances. Getting the numbers right matters because the flat-fee model is the platform’s entire economic argument against commission OTAs, and you can’t run that comparison on stale figures. This guide lays out every Furnished Finder fee as of 2026, what’s optional versus required, where the commission break-even actually sits, and how money moves between you and your tenant.
What fees does Furnished Finder charge hosts?
Furnished Finder charges one required fee: a flat annual subscription per listing, with no commission and no per-booking charges. These prices took effect January 2, 2026 (source).
| Fee | Amount | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Annual listing subscription | $199/year per property (entire place, apartment, or private room), plus taxes at checkout | Yes |
| Add-on units | $149/year per additional unit at the same address (duplex, ADU, basement apartment) | Only for extra units |
| Hotel or apartment complex | $750/year for multiple units within one building ($1,000/year starting October 27, 2026) | Only for whole buildings |
| Booking commission | $0. You keep 100% of the rent, with unlimited leads included | Never charged |
| Guest service fees | $0. Tenants pay exactly the rate you set | Never charged |
| Listing Setup Service | Optional add-on offered at checkout; Furnished Finder builds the listing for you | No |
| Tenant screening (KeyCheck) | $44.99 per applicant; the applicant pays by default, though you can cover it | No, but recommended |
The subscription covers more than placement: search visibility, tenant matching, messaging and calendar tools, 24/7 chat support, and unlimited leads (Furnished Finder, 2026). Two fine-print items matter more than the headline number. The subscription renews automatically at the current price, so calendar the renewal date, and taxes get added at checkout, so the card charge runs slightly above $199. The mechanics of getting the listing live, from ID verification to photos, take about 20 minutes once you’ve set up your Furnished Finder listing.
Can you list on Furnished Finder for free?
No, there’s no free listing tier: the annual subscription is the price of entry for landlords. Tenants, on the other hand, browse and send housing requests for free, which is part of why the platform pulls over one million monthly users (source).
The absence of a free tier is easier to accept once you see what the fee replaces. There’s no commission, no markup on your rate, and no guest service fee inflating what tenants pay, so the subscription is the platform’s entire take regardless of how much rent you collect.
Are there Furnished Finder discounts or promo codes?
Furnished Finder doesn’t run a standing public coupon program, so treat “promo code” listings on third-party coupon sites with skepticism. The reliable price is the published subscription rate, and any legitimate promotion shows up at checkout or in the platform’s own emails rather than on a coupon aggregator.
The practical money-saver isn’t a coupon; it’s managing the auto-renewal. The subscription renews at full price by default, so if you’re unsure about a second year, set a reminder ahead of the renewal date and decide deliberately rather than by charge notification.
How does Furnished Finder make money without commission?
The subscription is the business model: hundreds of thousands of landlords paying a flat fee funds the platform without a cut of rent. Furnished Finder reports more than 240,000 verified landlords and 300,000+ listings, which makes the math work at $199 a head (source).
The ecosystem around the listing adds the rest. Optional tools include tenant screening paid by the applicant, digital state-specific leases, a Damage Protection Plan, and landlord insurance through Steadily, and the Listing Setup Service is a paid add-on. None of it touches your rent, which is why the model attracts landlords burned by percentage fees elsewhere.
How do payments between hosts and tenants actually work?
Furnished Finder doesn’t process bookings or hold money: you and the tenant arrange payment directly, which is exactly why there’s no commission to charge. You set the deposit, the payment schedule, and the method, and the platform stays out of the transaction.
Most landlords collect a security deposit plus first month up front, then monthly rent on a fixed date. Tenants can pay rent online through Furnished Finder’s payment partner, Baselane, with payments tracked in your account, or you can use your own processor, a payment link, or old-fashioned transfers. Whatever you choose, put the schedule in the lease, and be wary of any inquiry that pushes to pay through unusual channels before signing; that’s a standard scam pattern the platform’s landlord reviews occasionally mention.
A flat fee only pays off if the calendar and the money stay organized.
Hostfully’s direct Furnished Finder integration, the only PMS connection to the platform, runs your Furnished Finder listing on the same calendar as your nightly channels.
Where does the flat fee beat commission? The break-even math
The flat fee wins as soon as your Furnished Finder bookings are long, because $199 is fixed while commission scales with revenue. One 90-day tenant at $2,500 a month is $7,500 of rent: even a low 3% host fee on that single stay is $225, already more than a full year of Furnished Finder, and a 10 to 15% channel would take $750 to $1,125 from the same booking.
| Mid-term revenue booked in a year | Furnished Finder (flat $199) | 3% commission channel | 15% commission channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| $7,500 (one 90-day stay) | $199 | $225 | $1,125 |
| $15,000 (two 90-day stays) | $199 | $450 | $2,250 |
| $25,000 (a mostly-booked mid-term year) | $199 | $750 | $3,750 |
Industry stat
Furnished Finder reports its average stay now runs 102 days, so one typical booking covers the annual subscription many times over.

The fee is also the small number in mid-term math; the nightly rate is the big one. Across Hostfully’s analysis of 500,000+ US reservations, mid-term rates averaged 47% below short-term rates, $164 against $307, and that relationship swung from 28% to 95% of short-term rates depending on the state. The free mid-term rental calculator runs both sides, fee and rate, across the same dates and returns the break-even mid-term rate for your property.
The honest counterweight: the flat fee is only cheap if bookings actually come, and lead volume varies by location. The demand is broader than most operators assume, with 39% of short-term rental operators taking at least one 30-plus-night booking in a year and those stays filling roughly 20% of booked nights.
If your market has thin mid-term demand, $199 buys exposure but not tenants, which is why whether Furnished Finder suits your property at all is the question to settle before the fee question. The platform earns its place among the channels hosts run beyond Airbnb precisely because its economics are the inverse of an OTA’s.
Frequently asked questions about Furnished Finder fees
How much does Furnished Finder cost per month?
Furnished Finder doesn’t bill monthly. The subscription is a flat $199 per year per listing, which works out to about $16.60 a month, paid annually up front with taxes added at checkout. Add-on units at the same address cost $149 per year.
Does Furnished Finder charge tenants any fees?
No. Tenants browse listings and send housing requests for free, and there are no guest service fees or booking markups, so tenants pay exactly the rent the landlord sets. If a landlord requests a KeyCheck screening, the $44.99 screening fee is paid by the applicant by default.
How much does a KeyCheck tenant screening cost?
A KeyCheck screening costs $44.99 per applicant and includes a soft-pull credit report with score, a criminal background check, and an eviction history report through TransUnion. The applicant pays by default, and the report is free for the landlord to receive, though landlords can choose to cover the fee.
Does the Furnished Finder subscription renew automatically?
Yes. The annual subscription renews automatically at the current price, and you acknowledge the auto-renewal at signup. If you’re testing the platform for one year, set a calendar reminder before the renewal date so the decision to continue is deliberate.
What is the Furnished Finder Listing Setup Service?
It’s an optional paid add-on offered at checkout where Furnished Finder builds your listing for you. It isn’t required: most landlords complete the listing themselves in about 20 minutes, including profile, property details, monthly rate, and photos.
Key takeaways
