ArraBay (arrabay.sg) is a brand new Room & Property Rental Portal in Singapore that provides comprehensive listing, advanced location-based search and smooth map-browsing functions.

Currently (2023 Jan), there are only 2 main property portals on the market, 99.co and PropertyGuru, that provides full-fledged map-based search & browse functions.

However, these are only for agents and they are mainly targeting the property buy-sell market. Moreover, their general search as well as location-based search and map-browsing function are extremely slow and sometimes buggy, making the user experience rather bad and time wasting.

While there are some other open property rental portals, none has map-based search and are poorly designed and implemented with outdated web-technologies.

ArraBay employs numerous advanced algorithms and techniques that makes its location/map-based functions superior to all currently in the market, making the user experience a fast and pleasant one.

Furthermore, using latest Web technologies, ArraBay can be easily installed as a Mobile app directly from the web-browser with just its URL, without any downloading.

According to the company announcements, more advanced features are coming, which shall further set it apart from others currently in the market.

Some of these up-coming features include: Multilingual, Ad feature highlighting, Featured ads, Agent ads, Real-time Chat & Alerts, Mobile Push Notifications, and more advanced search / browse, as well as more UI enhancements.

With the new launch promotion, some paid member features are offered for free to all, and pricing for agent plans are at extremely attractive prices of $128 onwards. This compares to $888 to over $1K for other map-based portals.

Free plan users can currently post up to 2 free ad listing. More details on available plans and features can be view on the pricing page.
