Calculate the maximum legal rent for a Dutch home — or find out whether it falls in the liberalized sector — using the statutory WWS (Woningwaarderingsstelsel) points system. For tenants checking they don't overpay, landlords meeting Wet betaalbare huur compliance, and expats navigating Dutch rent law in English. ONE-TIME UNLOCK €4.99 NATIVE iOS — Built for iPhone, works offline. No account, no subscription, no analytics, no tracking. WORKS IN ENGLISH TOO — The Dutch rent law tool that actually speaks English. Designed for the expat market that landlords have been counting on to stay confused. THE WWS CALCULATION Every feature of the home earns points: floor area, energy label, WOZ value, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor space, parking, monument status, and more. The total maps to a maximum monthly rent and a housing segment (sociaal, midden, or vrije sector). Updated annually as the government adjusts the tables. Two scoring tracks are built in: · Zelfstandige woonruimte — a complete dwelling · Onzelfstandige woonruimte (kamerverhuur) — a rented room sharing facilities Switch between them in the wizard. The engine routes automatically. FREE FEATURES · Full WWS calculation across all rubrieken · Maximum legal rent result · Points breakdown by category · Completeness indicator showing what is still missing · Both self-contained and shared-room scoring · Lease-start protection for free-segment contracts · Save your home and edit it later — address, inputs and result stay on your iPhone RENT TOO HIGH? TAKE ACTION — PREMIUM €4.99 (one-time) · Overpaying — see instantly how much you pay above the legal maximum per month and per year · The right letter for your situation — within 6 months of your lease start date an objection letter with retroactive effect, after that a formal rent reduction proposal (PDF, in Dutch, ready to send) · Step-by-step guide to the Rent Tribunal (Huurcommissie) — what to send, which deadlines apply, and what the procedure costs · Multiple homes — save and compare unlimited addresses (handy for landlords and agents) · Rent increase checker — verify a proposed increase is within the legal maximum for its effective date (social-sector caps change on July 1, mid-market and free sector on January 1) · WWS compliance report (PDF) — for landlords complying with the Affordable Rent Act (Wet betaalbare huur) PRIVACY · All calculations happen on your iPhone · No account required · No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs · Data never leaves the device unless you choose to share a PDF LEGAL DISCLAIMER The calculation is indicative. For an official ruling, contact the Huurcommissie (Rent Tribunal). HuurScan implements the WWS as defined in the Besluit huurprijzen woonruimte and the Huurcommissie's Beleidsboek waardering. It is not affiliated with the Huurcommissie or the Dutch government.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Digital Pass at none against HuurScan's 1. Digital Pass also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
