Live since 2000, this is one of the longest running roommate services in the United States and covers small college towns as well as big metros, which is where it beats the trendier apps. Creating a profile, adding photos and browsing matches costs nothing; sending and reading messages needs a paid plan, sold in short packages rather than a long contract. Verification covers email and phone with optional ID checks, and filters narrow results by rent, move-in date, pets, smoking and student status.
The design is plain and the search behaves like a classifieds site, which suits people who want lists rather than swipes. Support works by email only, since the company skips a call centre to keep prices down. Good for anyone hunting outside the coastal capitals; less appealing if paying before the first reply feels wrong.
