The evidence / A focused comparison

What is actually
inside the service?

Five capabilities. Four different business models. Every assessment points to its source. This selection explains useful practices; it does not rank the companies.

What changes our thinking

Three findings worth keeping.

01

Trust must describe a check

Bayut separates document review from a recent, location-gated property visit and shows when the availability check occurred.

02

Digital journeys still use people

NoBroker sells a relationship manager who gathers needs, contacts owners and arranges visits inside a digital marketplace.

Portal scale does not guarantee profit

99acres reported more than 1.3 million listings and INR 4,971 million of FY2026 billings, alongside an INR 592 million operating PBT loss.

Numbers with their context

What the figures do and do not prove.

Beike, 2024≈75%

of existing-home sales involved cross-store collaboration

A defined cooperation and commission system can become normal operating behaviour at scale.

Limit: Participation does not prove that ACN caused more sales or that the model transfers to Bangladesh.

billings / operating PBT

A large South Asian portal can grow billings while its reported operating result remains negative.

Limit: Billings and operating PBT are different measures; this is one year, not a universal portal margin.

Keep the distinction clear

An observed feature is not
a proven business case.

Product pages establish an offer. Filings establish reported results. Neither alone proves that one feature caused the result or that it will work in Bangladesh.
