Vind jouw nieuwe droomhuis Dé app om je toekomstige koop-, huur- of nieuwbouwhuis te zoeken. Bekijk onderweg of thuis vanaf de bank het hele woningaanbod op Funda. Kijk even rond bij huizen in de buurt – of die van je buren ;) –, doe leuke ideeën op voor je eigen woning of word op slag verliefd op je toekomstige stekje. Een snelle eerste indruk Of je nu zoekt in de lijst met woningen of op de kaart, je krijgt direct een eerste indruk van het huis. Dankzij de grote foto’s zie je meteen of het iets voor je is. Op de kaart kun je een woning even snel ‘previewen’ door op de marker te tikken. Lijkt het je wat? Dan kun je daarna natuurlijk ook gewoon álle foto’s, 360° foto’s, video’s en plattegronden van het huis bekijken. Extra handigheidje: je kunt nu ook zien welke huizen je al hebt bekeken op de kaart. Dat maakt het een stuk makkelijker om te zien welke woningen er nieuw bij zijn gekomen! Je zoekopdracht instellen Je kunt al je persoonlijke voorkeuren instellen in je zoekopdracht, zodat je in de lijst of op de kaart alleen huizen ziet die écht bij jouw woonwensen passen. We zijn continu bezig om de app nog beter te maken, door het toevoegen van nieuwe functies of door het verbeteren van bestaande. En daar werken we elke dag met veel plezier aan! Als je vragen, feedback of suggesties hebt om de app nog fijner te maken, horen we dat heel graag. Veel plezier met de zoektocht naar je nieuwe droomhuis! Het app development team van Funda

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Funda at none against tado°'s 12. Funda also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). tado°'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. tado° sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Funda asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Funda holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 778 and 1.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of tado°'s written reviews are positive against 40% of Funda's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
