Honest trade-offs

Watch-outs on both sides

Watch-outs: Reasier

  • Its listings link out to one major NYC listing site, and its data API describes rental data from that site.
  • Its stabilization signals include prices ending in unusual numbers; it says some units in stabilized buildings are market-rate and asks you to verify.
  • Email only: we found no text alerts and no app.

Watch-outs: RentReboot

  • Real-time alerts and texts cost money: Premium is $9.99/month billed annually or $19.99 monthly, and unlimited texts need Max at $19.99/month billed annually or $29 monthly.
  • The free plan sends up to 3 emails a day on a 3-hour delay, and no texts.
  • “Likely rent-stabilized” is a building-level signal; request the unit’s rent history before you rely on it.

Questions renters ask

Is Reasier free?

Yes. Its homepage says “100% Free Forever”, and its rent-negotiation page says moving-company referrals keep it free. We found no paid alert plan; it also offers a rental-data API without a published price. Checked October 13, 2026.

What does RentReboot cost?

RentReboot has a free plan: up to 3 email alerts a day for top matches, with a 3-hour delay on new listings. No text alerts. Premium is $9.99/month billed annually ($119.88/year) or $19.99/month billed monthly, and Max is $19.99/month billed annually ($239.88/year) or $29/month billed monthly. In the iPhone app, Premium is $21.99/month or $131.99/year and Max is $32.99/month or $264.99/year, because Apple charges a fee on in-app subscriptions. These are RentReboot’s prices as of October 13, 2026.

How does Reasier decide an apartment is rent-stabilized?

Its list page names three signals: the building appears on the Rent Guidelines Board’s stabilized building lists, the price ends in an unusual number, or the listing mentions stabilization. It notes that some apartments in a stabilized building can be market-rate.

How does RentReboot label rent-stabilized apartments?

RentReboot checks matching listings against NYC rent-stabilization records. Likely means the building matches those records, a building-level signal; verified means listing evidence identifies the apartment itself. Neither replaces the unit’s official rent history from New York State Homes and Community Renewal.

Which one sends alerts faster?

Reasier says its rent-stabilized alerts arrive within minutes, and its digest comes every morning. RentReboot sends matches in real time on Premium and Max, and on a 3-hour delay on the free plan. We have not timed Reasier’s alerts, so this page does not rank speed.

Can I use both?

Yes. Both have free options, so you can run Reasier’s stabilized alerts next to a broader RentReboot search and compare what each one finds.
