No Fee New York Everything you'll need in one place. NFNY connects renters directly with landlords across New York. No middlemen. No broker fees. An AI That Actually Knows NYC Rentals NFNY's built-in AI assistant is trained specifically for the NYC rental market. Ask it anything — available units at a specific building, what "no-fee" actually means, how to avoid broker traps, or what neighborhoods fit your budget and commute. It searches live listings, surfaces real units with prices and details, and always steers you toward going direct to the landlord. It's the knowledgeable friend every NYC renter needs — and it's in your pocket. Proxy Tours — We Tour It For You Can't make it in person? For just $30, NFNY sends someone to the apartment on your behalf. Choose a live video call to watch the tour in real time, or a recorded walkthrough you can review on your own schedule. Tell us what to check — water pressure, natural light, closet space, street noise — and your proxy covers it all. Perfect for out-of-town movers, busy schedules, or anyone who wants to narrow down options before committing to a trip.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: No Fee NY at none against FirstMover's 2. No Fee NY also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). FirstMover's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
