Core offering

Housi operates a subscription-based smart living platform offering fully furnished apartments for stays ranging from one day to multiple years, with all-inclusive monthly pricing covering utilities, internet, gas, and condominium fees, and a 100% digital booking process requiring no guarantor or income verification. The platform is extended by AppSpace, a resident-facing super-app integrating on-demand services and brand partners within buildings, and by supporting services including Housi Decor (turnkey decoration for investors), Fórmula Housi (consulting methodology for developers), and corporate housing.

Product overview

Housi operates as a proptech platform offering an ecosystem of interconnected products centered on subscription-based smart living. The core product is the Housi digital marketplace, which enables fully online, no-guarantor apartment rentals by the day, month, or longer. This core is extended by the Housi Decor add-on (full-service decoration and furnishing for property investors), the AppSpace superapp (a smart-building ecosystem connecting residents to partner services), and the Housi Conectar solution (plug-and-play technology for third-party buildings). For real estate developers, Housi offers the Fórmula Housi consulting methodology and Housi Construir development services, supplemented by Housi Expertise market intelligence, Housi Credi financial solutions, and Senior Living and Wellness product concepts. Corporate housing is served through the Housi Corporate module. All modules share a common digital infrastructure and brand, with AppSpace serving as the resident-facing hub across the ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Blueground: Blueground is a global operator of fully furnished, flexible-lease apartments in major cities, offering monthly stays with all-inclusive pricing. It is the closest direct peer to Housi in product, target customer (urban professionals, corporate), and business model (subscription-style rentals with property management).
• Sonder: Sonder operates tech-enabled apartment-style hotels and short-to-long-stay units across multiple cities, with mobile app booking and consistent design standards. It mirrors Housi's combination of flexible stay durations, fully furnished units, and an integrated tech/app layer.
• Kasa: Kasa runs a tech-driven network of upscale apartment-style accommodations for business and leisure travelers, with direct online booking and standardized units. Like Housi, Kasa targets flexible-stay guests and combines hospitality with apartment-style living in urban markets.
• Mint House: Mint House offers apartment-style extended-stay accommodations with full kitchens, living space, and tech-enabled check-in for business travelers. It is a strong functional peer to Housi's monthly subscription rentals in urban markets.
• The Guild: The Guild operates apartment-hotel style properties in walkable urban neighborhoods targeting both business and leisure extended-stay guests. Its combination of design-forward apartments, flexible stays, and tech-enabled booking makes it a comparable flex-living operator.
• Vacasa: Vacasa is a North American vacation rental management and booking platform that handles marketing, booking, cleaning, and on-the-ground operations for property owners. Housi performs similar end-to-end vacation rental and short-term property management in Brazil.

Emerging players

• QuintoAndar: QuintoAndar is Brazil's leading proptech for residential long-term rentals, offering digital signing and rent guarantees. While focused on traditional 12-30 month leases rather than short-stay, it competes for Brazilian landlord/tenant mindshare and is the most relevant domestic proptech comparable.
• Common: Common operates co-living and apartment-style rentals in US cities, offering flexible leases and community amenities. Its co-living / extended-stay hybrid model overlaps with Housi's smart-living and app-driven community features.
• Bungalow: Bungalow is a US co-living operator offering private bedrooms within shared furnished homes and a digital member experience. It represents the broader co-living category that intersects with Housi's flexible, community-oriented housing value proposition.

Broad incumbents

• Airbnb: Airbnb is the global short-term rental marketplace with massive inventory, brand recognition, and an expanded longer-stay product. Housi both distributes through Airbnb and competes with its managed-stay offering, making Airbnb the dominant incumbent in the same category.
