FAQs

Esusu’s pilots with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are offering one year of free rent reporting. Why would I choose Boom?

Sure, one year of free rent reporting sounds nice, but what happens after that? With Esusu, property managers will pay an annual platform fee on top of a monthly fee per unit—vacant or otherwise. Based on contracts we’ve evaluated, Esusu costs property managers 3.2x more than Boom over the first 2 years of use. The cost of using Esusu quickly adds up.

Doesn’t Esusu offer rent relief, why doesn’t Boom?

In theory, Esusu’s rent relief program seems like a plus. However, you’re paying for it in the higher per unit and annual platform fees that come with Esusu. Additionally, in practice, this assistance is neither guaranteed nor timely, if approved. Boom focuses on setting renters up for success long term, and each product Boom offers cleanly aligns with that goal.

Isn’t Esusu a larger company that’s been around longer?

Yes, but in the fintech world, age doesn’t always correlate with product maturity. Esusu is a sales-led organization, while in contrast Boom is a product-led organization with an engineering team that is able to implement customer feedback in days or weeks, not months or years. The result is that Boom’s platform (started in 2021) is more comprehensive than that of Esusu’s (started in 2016).

Using another rent reporting service?

We get it! We’ve made the process of switching rent reporting services seamless—all we need is the current rent roll and the contact at the previous furnisher. That’s it, the process takes less than two weeks and Boom will handle everything including:

Resident communications regarding the switch
Switching the furnisher of record with the credit bureaus
Coordination with the prior furnisher
Why are property managers choosing Boom over Esusu?

Tri-Bureau Reporting

Boom reports payments to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion so your renters get maximum credit impact across the board.

Competitive Pricing

Boom’s pricing is straightforward—no annual platform fees and only pay for enrolled residents (or pass the cost on to renters). Esusu, on the other hand, charges a whopping annual platform fee of $3500 and charges on a per unit basis for all units, even those that are vacant.

Direct PMS Integrations

Boom has the broadest and deepest integration coverage with property management systems. Once integrated, payment and verification workflows can be further simplified with automations—no manual spreadsheet uploads involved!

Full Visibility + Control

Boom’s Partner Platform gives property managers visibility into enrolled renters and ability to verify payments seamlessly. Boom’s Reporting Dashboard measures key impact metrics, like residents’ credit score changes, in real time.

Enhanced Resident Experience

Residents can track their credit score progress for free via the Boom app. Additionally, the app offers a number of other resources such as monthly reporting statuses and rental assistance navigation.
