Does any one have a no-pay?
August 3, 2022

Does any one have a no-pay? 1 of the 4 choices should. It appears as if i had the 1st couple of days I did; cause i replied for 2 or 3 days & now i have to pay. If tenant. Roommate, house, or room was not in the mix none of thiscould work. Each needs the other to function

The app provides no value without payment. Maybe offer a free trial and/or a 'connection fee' in the event that the user actually makes progress with a tangible lead

It's very inconvenient that I have to pay to see rooms. If you want to charge me once I see something that I'm interested it that's fine but you block more content than any other room search website I've tried

Bad you have to pay to see the messages. I don't understand why they ask for money to read the messages and it is very expensive.

Roomster makes it easy for people to connect.
If you're renting out space in your home, or looking for a nice place to live, they really make it possible to find a place that you are comfortable with

It's annoying you see a fantastic Ad and it doesn't exist once you've gotten on Roomster.

I feel like It would be an even better experience if you allowed people to message each other freely within the first few weeks of creating the account.

Lets see. Why charge 12 bucks just to use the service for 7 days. Would a buck a day not be fair?

Not clear on what is happening and why you are asking me to pay.
Your buisiness model should be clear to the customer atleast to the extent for the customer to understand what are they paying for
