HINT is an app that revolutionizes the real estate market. Rather than relying on what is available on the market, HINT enables you to connect directly with property owners by submitting interests on specific properties, neighborhoods, cities, or areas. As a property owner, have you ever wondered what your property is actually worth without going through the hassle of listing it? With HINT, you can. Find out if prospective buyers have submitted interest on your property or your area. You will be able to see all the open interests of prospective buyers that match your property profile. For example, if you own a single family home in a specific neighborhood, you can login and see if a prospective buyer has submitted an interest. Best of all, we verify propsective buyers to provide documentation such as approval letter, proof of funds, etc. to inform you how serious the buyer is. You can browse real time offers and see what someone is willing to pay for your property rather than speculate based on past sales. HINT also has a rental component to it. Therefore, if you are searching for a rental property but can't exactly find what you want, drop interests and perhaps someone will be motivated to rent you their property. As a property owner, you are no longer bound to list your property for sale or rent. In today's market, once you list your property, you are under pressure to sell or rent it within a specific time frame or your property starts to lose value. Once you have committed to list your property, you also have to deal with home showings, open houses, and all the other inconveniences that come with an active listing. With HINT, you can start months ahead and connect directly with prospective buyers (or renters) to negotiate and come to an agreement that works for both parties without the stress of pre-determined deadlines. Let the buyers and renters come to you. Realtors signed up on HINT will work with you to assist you with the buying and selling process. Realtors have exclusive access to other property owners within popular areas to ensure that your interests reach the respective property owners. HINT is designed to provide you with all the tools you need to find your dream property. Home buying is a serious financial commitment and there should be no reason why you should settle for what is on the market, especially in today's market where there is a low home supply. The process is simple for all. As a prospective home buyer (or renter), you can drop a pin (interest) on a specific home, condominium, or area with your required parameters. This includes the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and any other specific requirements you must have along with your purchase price offer (or rental offer). You will then upload supporting documentation to prove if you are a qualified buyer. This will be be verified by our team and displayed via a verified checkmark indicating that you are a verified buyer (or renter). The next step will be for you to select whether you wish to work with one of HINT's recommended realtors. Your information and interests will only be visible to property owners who meet your specific search criteria and the approved realtor for that specific area. As the property owner, you will log in and update your property's information to include pictures and any other information you wish to have publicly available on HINT. Property owners must verify they are the actual property owner prior to being able to update any information. We will ask for basic proof of residence. As a homeowner you will have access to any open interests that match your property. You will also have the ability to connect with one of our recommended realtors to help you broker your deal. Will your offer be sufficient to motivate the owner? Drop a HINT and find out.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HINT at none against KeepOfEchoes's 3. HINT also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.0). KeepOfEchoes's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
