What Snag Says About Itself
Snag’s App Store listing describes it as an app to sublet and to find roommates, rentals and housing, for people such as students moving for school and people starting a new job. It is a mobile app. We could not confirm its fees or payment terms from public sources, so we have not described them.
How Sublet Buddy Works
Sublet Buddy is a website, with no app to install. Stays are 30 days or longer, in New York City. Listers verify their identity through Stripe before posting. Rent is paid through the site and held until move-in, with no security deposits. Listers pay a Concierge Fee of 10% of each rent payment, or 8.5% with a creator code.
Sublets, Not Roommates
Sublet Buddy matches a place with someone who needs it for a set stretch of time. It does not match roommates. If you are looking for a person to sign a new lease with, a roommate tool is the better fit.
What We Do Not Claim
We do not claim to be bigger, cheaper or safer than Snag. Sublet Buddy is live in New York only, is not a licensed broker, and does not run background checks.
Questions
Does Sublet Buddy have an app?
