Pricing built for trust, not extraction.
Tenants pay nothing. Landlords pay zero during early access, then a small flat monthly fee. No commission on leases, no boosted listings, no per-inquiry charges. The pricing page exists so you never have to wonder.

What we will never charge for
Four things you’ll never see on a Balai invoice.
These aren’t omissions — they’re decisions. Every one of them exists somewhere else; here’s why we won’t add them.
Tenants — ever
Tenants never pay Balai for anything. Browsing, saving, messaging, viewing — all free, forever. The product breaks if tenants can't fully use it.
Per-inquiry fees
We don't charge landlords per inquiry. That model rewards spammy listings and punishes the good ones. You get inquiries; we get a flat monthly fee.
Boosted / featured listings
No pay-to-be-on-top. Search ranks listings by verification depth, then by relevance — money doesn't move you up.
Verification re-runs
First verification is included. Annual re-verification is free. We only charge for an additional on-site visit if you've moved units mid-year.
Brokers
Volume pricing for PRC-licensed brokers.
If you manage five or more listings, you qualify for broker pricing once early access ends — a per-listing rate that drops as your portfolio grows. During early access, brokers get the same ₱0 as everyone else.
Brokers also get an agency badge alongside each listing showing your PRC license number, so tenants can verify your standing independently.
