## Common complaints about Belong

- **8% of your revenue goes to Belong**: On a property earning $100K/year, you're paying Belong $8,000. TIDY delivers full operations for $3,900 — 51% less.
- **Long-term rental focus only**: Belong targets long-term rentals. TIDY works for STR, mid-term, and long-term — any rental model.
- **Guaranteed rent model comes with trade-offs**: Belong's guaranteed rent means lower payouts and less control over tenant selection. TIDY gives you full control and full market-rate income.
- **Limited market availability**: Belong operates in select US cities. TIDY works nationwide.

## Customer perspective
