Nothing on FoundNow charges anyone anything.
Every property site in India says free. What most of them mean is free until you want to be seen. So here is the flat answer: there is no listing fee, no contact fee, no subscription and no boost to buy. Not a launch offer — there is no billing code in the product to charge you with.
This page describes what is true today, and what we commit to doing if that changes. It is not a discount with an end date.

Not a price list with the numbers left blank. There is nothing in FoundNow that takes a payment, so there is nowhere for a number to go.
You are not the thing being sold.
The usual worry about a free marketplace is the honest one: if nobody is paying, the product is you. Here is what that objection actually looks like against this app.
You can look without an account
No number at the door, no “register to see 3 more photos”. And when you do sign in, it is a one-time code to a phone or an email — there is no password for anyone to lose.
Nothing here is added to your rent
The money you hand over goes to the person letting the place — the deposit, the rent, the charges on the listing. FoundNow does not sit in that transaction, take a cut of it, or ask for anything on the side of it.
The price on the card is the real one
A ₹15,000 flat with ₹2,000 maintenance, ₹500 parking and ₹700 internet is an ₹18,200 flat. Sorting by the headline rent puts it above a genuine ₹17,000 flat, which is a way of misleading you with arithmetic rather than words.
- Rent
- ₹15,000
- Maintenance
- ₹2,000
- Parking
- ₹500
- Internet
- ₹700
- Per month
- ₹18,200
- What the card shows, and what the budget filter compares.
Water, gas and electricity were left blank by the owner here. They are counted as undisclosed and named, so ₹18,200 reads as a floor and not a promise.
An example rather than a listing — but the arithmetic is the product's own, from the module every cost breakdown is built by.
Everything an owner does here is free, including the parts that cost us money.
Not a free tier with a wall behind it. There is no second tier. This is the whole owner product as it ships today.
- Publishing a listing — the seven steps, and the 7, 15 or 30-day window you pick at the end.
- Every listing after the first. No cap, no per-listing charge, no charge for the tenth flat in the same building.
- The weekly one-tap confirmation that keeps you in nearby search, and the Monday nudge that reminds you.
- Republishing after a window ends. The listing pauses rather than disappearing — photos and history all come back with it, in one tap.
- The Monday morning email with this week’s numbers set against last week’s.
- The lead board — every enquiry in one place, from new to booked.
- Modelling the building once — tower, wing, floor, flat, room — so the fourth flat in the same society does not need its address typed again.
There is no promoted slot, and there is not going to be one.
This is the question a competitor asks first, because it is where every property portal in India makes its money: the top of your results belongs to whoever paid for it. Ours is computed from eight signals, and you can read all eight.
There is no paid-placement term and there must never be one.
Confirmed today scores full marks and decays across the week. Rented or unconfirmed scores zero.
Measured from the point you chose — your location, a locality you typed, or a place you saved.
Timed from real conversations, not self-reported.
Eight signals, weights summing to 1.0. None of them is money, and there is no ninth one hidden behind a payment.
Brokers can list here. They are labelled, not banned.
Banning brokers is a line that sounds good on a home page and lasts about a week — they simply sign up as owners, and then nobody knows who they are talking to. Labelling them survives contact with reality.
- On the listing
- A broker’s listing carries a Broker line at the top, and the person letting it is shown as Broker rather than Owner.
- Owner listings
- Where the person letting the place is the owner, the listing reads No brokerage beside the rent.
- A stated fee
- When a broker has written their fee on their profile, it sits on the listing — before you open a conversation, not after the visit.
- What we take
- Nothing, from either side. Brokerage is between the broker and the tenant, and FoundNow is not a party to it.
The fee field is optional, and nothing in the product stops a broker leaving it blank. So the promise is the label, not the number: if it is filled in you read it before you message, and if it is blank you still know you are talking to a broker rather than finding out on the phone.
A promise about how, not a hint about what.
It would be easy to fill this section with a revenue model — a small fee here, a percentage there. We are not going to, because none of it is built and any of it might be wrong. What we can commit to now is conduct.

The ranking stays out of it
Whatever FoundNow charges for one day, it will not be a position in somebody else’s search results. That is the promise the whole product is built on and it is not the one we would sell.ZeroPaid-placement terms - 03
Nothing free becomes a hostage
A listing you have already published, and the enquiries already in it, do not go behind a payment. If something new costs money, it is something new.NoticeBefore any charge
That is a commitment about behaviour, not a product announcement. There is no plan to reveal, no percentage to work out, no date to wait for. Today the answer is the one at the top of this page, and this is where you will find out if it stops being true.
Put your place up and see what it does.
Seven steps to publish, a window of 7, 15 or 30 days, and one tap a week to stay in nearby search. If it does not work for you, the only thing you have spent is the time it took to fill in.
