Direct swaps
Both parties agree to stay in each other's home at the same time — or at different times if dates are flexible.
Free to Start
Free home swap app for simple travel exchanges
Swapsease is a mobile-first app that helps you list your home, discover potential swaps by swiping, and connect with matches to arrange stays — without paying for accommodation.
What is a home swap app?
Travel by exchanging homes, not paying for them
A home swap app connects people who want to stay in each other's homes. Instead of booking a hotel or rental, you agree a swap with another homeowner and both parties travel without accommodation costs.
No booking fees
Because no money changes hands between users for the stay itself, home swapping can make travel significantly more affordable.
More than a hotel room
Staying in a home usually means more space, a kitchen, and a local neighbourhood experience that a hotel rarely offers.
Community-based trust
Ratings after each exchange help build a picture of how each person treats the homes they stay in and their own listing.
How Swapsease works
List, swipe, match, and chat
Swapsease keeps the process simple. Here is how a typical exchange unfolds.
1. List your home
Add photos, a short description, your location, and the dates you have available. Clear listings attract more interest.
2. Swipe to discover homes
Browse homes in destinations you want to visit. Swipe right on listings that interest you. Free users get a daily swipe allowance; Swapsease Unlimited removes the cap.
3. Match when interest is mutual
When you and another user both swipe yes, a match is created and a chat opens automatically.
4. Chat and agree the details
Use in-app chat to align dates, house rules, key handover, pets, guests, and any other practical details before confirming.
Who it is for
Built for people who want a simpler way to travel
Frequent travellers
If you travel regularly and have a home you are not using, swapping can reduce accommodation costs significantly over time.
Remote workers
Longer stays in a different city or country are easier when you have a home to offer in return, rather than paying for extended rentals.

Frequently asked questions

How does Swapsease work?
You create a listing with photos and availability, then browse other homes by swiping. When both users swipe yes on each other's listing, a match and chat open so you can work out the details.

Is Swapsease an Airbnb alternative?
