A listings feed doesn't know you
Every rental site shows you the same grid: price, photos, locality, repeat. It can't tell that you need quiet over nightlife, that pets are non-negotiable, or that €1,000 is your real ceiling. So you do the filtering in your head, listing by listing, tab after tab — and still book viewings for places that were never going to work.

Three answers, and the right places rise to the top
Matching starts with a short set of questions — no long form. Squarelly turns your answers into a compatibility score for every listing, shown as a coloured ring right on the card. Green is a strong fit, amber is a maybe, grey is a stretch. You browse by fit, not by luck.
Tell us your fit
Budget, lifestyle (quiet, social, family, student, professional), and must-haves (pets, furnished, parking, balcony).

A compatibility ring on each card and detail page, sorted best-match first.
Know why it matched
Open “Why this match?” for the top factors: what fits, what doesn't, in plain language.
A score you can actually trust
Squarelly never asks you to trust a number you can't see inside. Every compatibility score comes with its reasoning — the factors that raised it and the ones that pulled it down — so you stay in control. Your preferences are yours: update them anytime, and every score updates with you.
Explainable
Every score shows the factors behind it. No black box.
Yours to change

Private
Your preferences shape your matches and nothing else.
The score finds the flat. The conversation finds the fit.
Compatibility matching is good at one job: telling you which properties fit your budget, your lifestyle and your must-haves. What an algorithm can't score is the person you'd be renting from — and a tenancy is a long relationship with that person, not just an address.
That's why matching is only the first layer of fit on Squarelly. The score narrows hundreds of listings down to a shortlist genuinely worth your time. Then, because you contact the verified owner directly — with no agent in between — you judge the second layer yourself: are their expectations reasonable, will they look after the place, are they someone you can actually deal with. The algorithm handles the property fit; you handle the human fit. A real match needs both.
Layer 1
Property fit
scored for you
Layer 2
Human fit

Common questions about matching
Do I need an account to see compatibility scores?
You can preview how matching works on any listing, but to get scores tailored to you and saved across the site, create a free account and set your preferences.
How long does setup take?
About a minute. It’s three quick questions — budget, lifestyle, and must-haves — not a long form.
What does the score actually measure?
How well a listing fits the preferences you gave us: budget range, lifestyle, and must-have features. Open "Why this match?" on any listing to see the exact factors.
Does the score rate the landlord?
No — the score measures how well the property fits your preferences. Sizing up the landlord is something you do yourself: Squarelly connects you directly to the verified owner so you can judge, before you commit, whether they’re someone you’d want to rent from.
Can I change my preferences later?
Yes, anytime. Every compatibility score across the site updates as soon as you do.
Does a high score mean I should rent it?
It means the property fits what you told us — it’s a strong shortlist signal. Always view a place (in person or via a 360° tour) before you sign.
