What Wizi.io does

Wizi.io, operated under SAS Tyrell and founded in 2016 in Bagneux, France, is a fully digital peer-to-peer rental platform serving the French long-term residential market. The platform enables private landlords to list properties for free, with automatic multi-portal diffusion to SeLoger, Leboncoin, and Logic-Immo, and supports end-to-end digital workflows including tenant application submission, facial-authentication identity verification, electronic lease and état des lieux signing, and escrow-based rent and deposit collection hosted on French infrastructure. Tenants pay a flat €290 success-based service fee, materially below traditional French agency fees averaging €754, and can rent without a guarantor or CDI employment contract, targeting students, freelancers, CDD workers, and interim workers excluded by traditional screening.

The company's revenue model combines a transaction-based tenant service fee with a recurring landlord subscription. Wizi Premium, priced at 7.9% VAT-inclusive of monthly rent, wraps AXA-underwritten rent guarantee insurance up to €50,000 per year, legal protection up to €5,000, and optional degradation coverage (+1.1%) into a full-service landlord product with automated accounting, dedicated advisor support, and rent indexation. Proprietary technical components include WiziBot, an AI-driven rent estimation chatbot trained on comparable listings; fraud and document verification tools for tenant vetting; and a digital escrow architecture that releases landlord funds only after key handover.

Wizi has broadened beyond the core platform through two adjacent product moves: Knock Knock, a TikTok-style vertical-video real estate listing and social networking app developed by SAS Tyrell and publicly launched in September 2024, and the September 2025 acquisition of MorningCroissant, adding mid-term rental capabilities. Wizi maintains an active content marketing footprint via a weekly blog and a 68,000+ subscriber newsletter authored by CEO Julien Lozano, supported by earned media coverage in BFMTV, Capital, France 2, Le Parisien, Europe 1, Les Echos, and Le Journal Du Dimanche. The company holds licensed real estate credentials (carte professionnelle CPI 9201 2017 0000 018 448 from CCI Paris), a €1,320,000 GALIAN financial guarantee, and MMA professional liability insurance, formally qualifying it to operate as a French real estate intermediary.

Revenue model

1. Tenant Service Fee (Transaction-based): Tenants pay a flat one-time service fee of €290, payable only upon successfully finding a rental property. This covers platform access, identity verification, digital contracting, and secure payment services. This is the primary revenue driver for tenant-side acquisition.
2. Wizi Premium Subscription (Landlord Insurance): Landlords subscribe to Wizi Premium at 7.9% VAT-inclusive of total monthly rent (including charges). The subscription includes rent guarantee insurance (up to €50,000/year), legal protection (up to €5,000), and optional degradation coverage (+1.1%). No commitment, cancellable at any time.
3. Owner Listing (Free): Property owners publish listings for free on the platform. Revenue is not generated directly from listings but through upsell to Wizi Premium and tenant fees.

Core offering

Wizi operates a fully digital rental platform that connects individual French landlords with tenants for long-term residential rentals. Landlords list properties for free with automatic multi-portal syndication, while tenants pay a flat €290 service fee (only upon successful rental) for AI-assisted matching, facial identity verification, electronic lease signatures, and escrow-based rent and deposit collection. A premium subscription (Wizi Premium, 7.9% of monthly rent) backed by AXA insurance adds rent guarantee, legal protection, and degradation coverage.

Product overview

Wizi is a digital real estate platform focused on long-term rental between private individuals. The core Wizi platform enables landlords to list properties for free and tenants to rent without guarantors, CDI employment, or high agency fees, charging only 290€ for tenant services. The platform offers WiziBot (AI-powered rent price optimization), Wizi Premium (add-on subscription with guaranteed rent payments and legal protection at 7.9% of rent), and Wizi Flex (flexible pricing). The company has expanded through acquisitions of Knock Knock (video-based property listing app positioned as 'TikTok of real estate') and MorningCroissant (mid-term rental platform). All services are 100% digital with features including multi-channel listing distribution, tenant verification, electronic signatures, and secure payment processing.

Direct peers

• Logic-Immo: Established French property portal and one of Wizi's three multi-diffusion partners. Targets the same landlords and tenants for long-term rental listings, with national reach and an agency-leaning model.
• PAP (De Particulier à Particulier): France's flagship particulier-to-particulier rental and sales platform. Closest functional analogue to Wizi: direct matching of individual landlords and tenants without traditional agency intermediation, with national coverage and brand recognition in the same French long-term rental segment.
• Bien'ici: French property portal backed by major real estate agencies (Century 21, Orpi, Foncia, Laforêt, etc.). Competes in tenant search and landlord listing acquisition with a digital-first positioning similar to Wizi, though agency-affiliated rather than particulier-focused.
• Flatlooker: French furnished rental management platform serving landlords in major cities. Direct overlap with Wizi Premium's full-service management value proposition, including rent collection, tenant verification, and digital lease management for individual property owners.

Emerging players

• GuestReady: Short- and mid-term rental management company with French operations. Comparable to the MorningCroissant leg of Wizi's portfolio — handles end-to-end management of furnished rentals, similar target landlord customer, and similar digital/AI-enabled operating model.
• Spotahome: Online mid- and long-term rental platform with verification, digital contracts, and booking flows. Directly comparable to the MorningCroissant/Wizi online rental booking experience, though operating in different geographies (Spain, Italy, etc.) and a regional rather than direct competitor.
• Smoobu: Channel manager and software platform for short-/mid-term rental hosts. Comparable to Wizi's broader landlord tooling suite (accounting, automated receipts, IRL management) — both sell operational software-as-a-service to individual landlords managing their own portfolios.

Broad incumbents

• Leboncoin: France's largest general classifieds platform with a major real estate vertical. Listed as one of Wizi's three distribution partners; competes for the same tenant search intent and landlord listings, but at much greater scale and across many categories beyond real estate.
• SeLoger: Dominant French property portal owned by AVIV Group. Competes with Wizi on landlord listing distribution (Wizi multi-publishes to SeLoger) and tenant search. Much larger scale and traffic, but a portal play rather than a full-service rental/insurance platform.
• Zillow: US-based proptech incumbent offering tenant/landlord matching, AI-powered pricing (Zestimate), and adjacent services. Useful strategic analogue for how a digital-first rental platform can layer pricing tools, fintech, and management services — though at vastly larger scale and in a different regulatory environment.
