Swapt provides a searchable database of apartment and property reviews where users log in via Facebook, get verified, and post reviews of past rentals. The platform pulls accurate listing information (pet policies, design details, amenities, etc.) from sources like Craigslist and trusted landlords to ensure reviews match real listings. Facebook verification is used to curb bogus reviews, and the company reports about 80% of users are verified. In two months of beta testing Swapt amassed 500,000 listings, with 200,000 coming from the New York City market. The service is available nationwide and reports major market growth in San Francisco, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Monetization is not a major priority currently, though the company sees lead generation as a viable future revenue option.
