HomeScout Team Plans for Dublin Relocation, HR, and Letting Agencies
Here is a situation that happens constantly in Dublin tech. A company hires eight engineers from abroad. Each one lands in the city, gets pointed at Daft.ie, and then spends three weeks refreshing listings from an Airbnb while simultaneously trying to start a new job. HR fields six individual emails asking whether Clontarf is "too far" from the docklands. Someone ends up in a flat in Tallaght because the listings were moving so fast they panicked and took the first thing that replied. Two months in, they are unhappy with their commute and HR is wondering why their onboarding satisfaction scores are down.
This is not a rare edge case. It is the default experience for international hires coming to Dublin, and it happens precisely because nobody hands them a proper tool for what is, objectively, a stressful and complicated process in a competitive rental market. A PDF with Daft links is not a tool. A list of "recommended areas" is not a tool. An AI-powered property search platform with automated scanning, smart contract review, and a renter profile that makes applications land faster — that is a tool.
HomeScout Team Plans are built for exactly this situation: HR departments moving people to Dublin, relocation agencies managing multiple expat cases simultaneously, and letting agents who want their candidates showing up to viewings with complete, professional applications rather than a panicked mess of screenshots and a vague income figure.
Who This Is Actually For
If you are managing more than three people through the Dublin rental market at any given time, the individual subscription model stops making sense and the administrative headache starts.
Dublin tech HR teams are the clearest use case. The Dublin tech corridor — Google, Meta, Stripe, LinkedIn, Salesforce, and dozens of mid-tier companies spread across Grand Canal Dock, Sandyford, and the IFSC — hires internationally at a pace that keeps relocation busy year-round. If your company is doing any real volume of international hiring, you are dealing with the same onboarding friction repeatedly, and handing each new hire a personalised set of tools on arrival is a much better answer than a Notion page of generic advice.
Relocation agencies handling Dublin-bound expats deal with this on behalf of employers and have the same problem at greater scale. Your candidates come from dozens of different companies, speak different languages, have varying documentation levels, and all need to move through the same competitive rental market. A platform that lets you spin up a seat for each candidate, track their progress, and ensure they arrive at viewings with everything an agent needs to say yes — that is what makes your service worth the fee you charge.
Letting agencies working with international tenants have a slightly different angle on this. If you are running viewings and consistently encountering candidates who do not have their documents together, cannot demonstrate employment clearly, or are struggling to communicate their situation to landlords, you have an incentive to solve that problem before the viewing rather than during it. A team subscription lets you onboard candidates into HomeScout, have them build out their renter resume before they meet you, and arrive at viewings with a profile a landlord can actually evaluate.
Any organization managing group relocations — universities onboarding international faculty, large accountancy firms bringing over qualified staff, hospital systems with nursing recruitment from abroad — the same logic applies. The Dublin rental market does not slow down or get easier because your hire is starting a prestigious job. If anything, the competitive pressure is indifferent to everyone equally, and having the right tools makes a measurable difference.
<!-- IMAGE: team-plans-admin-dashboard — org admin view showing seat usage summary and member list — 1600x900 -->What Every Seat Actually Includes
There are no feature gates between individual Scout subscribers and team plan seats. Every seat is a full Scout account, which means every person you onboard gets access to everything HomeScout has built.
That starts with natural language property search: type "2-bed near Grand Canal Dock under EUR 2,200, washing machine included, no ground floor" and HomeScout runs that search properly rather than making you map it onto filters designed for a different era of property search. For someone new to Dublin who does not yet know the neighborhoods well, being able to describe what they want and immediately see what matches — with commute times calculated to their actual workplace — is genuinely different from the existing alternatives.
The AI Rental Agent runs 24/7 scanning for new listings that match each user's saved search criteria and alerts them the moment something drops. This matters in Dublin because the good listings at fair prices move in hours, not days. Someone who is also doing their first week in a new job and checking listings during a lunch break is at a structural disadvantage versus the person whose search is running constantly in the background. The Auto-Apply feature lets users set up a pre-approved personalised email template, so when a match appears the inquiry goes out immediately with their details rather than three hours later after they finish their afternoon meetings.
AI contract review is one of the features that matters most for international renters who are not familiar with Irish lease structures. Irish leases have specific quirks — RTB registration requirements, deposit rules, break clauses that vary considerably — and an AI that reads the document and flags genuinely unusual or unfavorable clauses before signing is a much better outcome than learning about the problems after they have moved in. All uploaded contracts are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and stored securely.
The renter resume pulls together employment status, income evidence, references, and supporting documents into a structured profile that can be shared directly with agents from within the platform, which removes the back-and-forth of being asked for the same information multiple times in different formats. For international renters who often face skepticism about their tenancy history, arriving with a complete and professional profile shifts the dynamic of the conversation considerably.
Everything else Scout includes is on every seat: unlimited Area Explorer across all 28 Dublin neighborhoods with average rent data and area profiles, comparison mode for evaluating multiple properties side by side, price history tracking with trend indicators, viewing scheduler with calendar integration, and the full document vault.

There is no complicated decision matrix here. Pick the tier that matches your current volume of active seats and upgrade when you grow out of it.
<!-- IMAGE: team-plans-pricing-tiers — visual display of the 4 team tiers with pricing and savings vs individual Scout — 1600x900 -->team_5 — Five Seats at EUR 15.99 per seat per month (EUR 13.99 on annual billing)
Total cost: EUR 79.95 per month, or EUR 69.95 per month on annual billing.
This is roughly 11% off the individual Scout price of EUR 17.99 per seat on monthly billing, and around 22% off on annual billing. Over a year on monthly billing, five individual Scout subscriptions would cost EUR 1,079.40. The team_5 plan costs EUR 959.40. That is EUR 120 saved for the same capability with the addition of a central admin panel — and the gap widens to EUR 240 saved if you choose annual billing on both sides.
This tier works for smaller relocation practices, boutique letting agencies with a steady intake of international candidates, or an HR team at a company that does moderate international hiring throughout the year.
team_10 — Ten Seats at EUR 14.99 per seat per month (EUR 12.99 on annual billing)
Total cost: EUR 149.90 per month, or EUR 129.90 per month on annual billing.
This is roughly 17% off individual Scout monthly pricing, and around 28% off on annual billing — the point where the economics become quite clear. Ten individual Scout seats at monthly pricing would run EUR 2,158.80 annually. The team_10 plan costs EUR 1,798.80 per year, saving EUR 360 compared to doing it seat by seat. Switch both sides to annual billing and the team plan still comes out significantly ahead.
At this tier you are also saving EUR 30 per month versus ten individual monthly subscriptions — worth several seats' worth of spend back over the course of a year.
team_20 — Twenty Seats at EUR 12.99 per seat per month (EUR 10.99 on annual billing)
Total cost: EUR 259.80 per month, or EUR 219.80 per month on annual billing.
Around 28% off individual Scout monthly pricing, and around 39% off on annual billing. Twenty individual Scout subscriptions at EUR 17.99 per month would cost EUR 359.80 per month or EUR 4,317.60 per year. The team_20 plan costs EUR 3,117.60 per year on monthly billing, saving EUR 1,200 annually. That is EUR 100 per month back in the budget compared to paying individually.
For a mid-sized relocation agency or an HR function at a company with consistent international hiring across multiple teams, this is the tier where the savings genuinely offset the cost of the subscription by a wide margin.
team (flex) — 3 to 49 seats from EUR 15.99 down to EUR 9.99 per seat per month
The flex plan is for organizations with variable headcount needs or larger scale requirements. Pricing scales with volume: EUR 15.99 per seat in the 3–5 band, EUR 14.99 in the 6–10 band, EUR 12.99 in the 11–20 band, and EUR 9.99 in the 21–49 band. Annual billing takes a further EUR 2 per seat per month off each band. At 49 seats on annual billing you are paying EUR 7.99 per seat per month against an EUR 17.99 individual monthly price — over 55% off.
For organizations needing more than 20 seats, or for relocation agencies with seasonal volume that varies significantly, the flex plan is worth a conversation. Contact details are at homescout.io/enterprise.
<!-- IMAGE: team-plans-savings-calculator — side-by-side comparison showing 10 x individual Scout vs team_10 pricing — 1600x900 -->Admin and Onboarding: How It Actually Works
Setting up a team does not require IT involvement or a complicated provisioning process. It is designed to be run by whoever in HR or operations is handling the relocation function.
The org admin creates the organization account during signup and selects the appropriate team tier. From the admin dashboard, you can see how many seats are in use, who is on each seat, and when each member joined. Adding a new member is an email invite: enter their address, send the invite, and they receive a standard HomeScout signup link that ties their new account to your organization automatically.
Seat limits enforce cleanly. If you are on a team_5 plan and try to add a sixth member, the platform surfaces an upgrade prompt rather than silently billing you extra or refusing the action without explanation. You upgrade the plan and then add the person. Removing a member — when someone leaves the company or completes their rental search and no longer needs an active seat — frees that seat immediately, and you can reassign it to the next hire.
Billing is organization-level, not per-seat. One invoice per month, VAT included, showing the total cost for the active seat count. Nobody on the team needs to submit individual expense reports for a personal subscription, and nobody on finance needs to reconcile a dozen separate subscription charges from the same company. This is a meaningful operational improvement for any team managing a travel and expenses process.
The admin panel does not give you access to individual users' property searches, saved listings, contracts, or documents — that data belongs to the individual seat holder. What you see at the org level is seat usage, member list, and billing. This distinction matters for organizations handling GDPR obligations: you are providing the tool, not surveilling how people use it.
A Realistic Use Case: Dublin Fintech, Twelve Hires in Three Months
A Dublin fintech is scaling an engineering team. They have made twelve offers to candidates across the UK, US, and mainland Europe. Most of them need to find a place to live before or immediately after their start date, and none of them know Dublin particularly well.
HR buys a team_10 plan at EUR 149.90 per month total. As each offer is accepted and a start date is confirmed, they send a HomeScout team invite along with the standard welcome-to-the-company email. By the time each hire lands in Dublin, they already have an active HomeScout account with their search criteria saved, their renter resume at least partially filled out, and a working understanding of which neighborhoods suit their commute.
Each hire uses their seat through their entire rental search. The Auto-Hunter is scanning continuously for matches. When a two-bed in Rathmines or a studio near Pearse Street comes up that fits their criteria, they get an alert immediately and their pre-approved inquiry email goes out before the listing has been live for an hour. They review any shortlisted lease with the AI contract review before signing, and any unusual clauses get flagged before they become a problem.
HR fields zero individual emails asking whether Clontarf is too far. Nobody ends up in Tallaght out of panic. The twelve hires find places faster, with less stress, and arrive on their first week already settled rather than still searching from an Airbnb.
Finance sees one line item on the company card: EUR 149.90 per month for three months while the hiring wave is active, then a potential step-down to a smaller tier when active searches reduce. The total cost for three months of covering twelve hires with full Scout capability is EUR 449.70. Compare that to the overhead of handling twelve individual ad-hoc relocation requests, and the number is not a difficult conversation.
Pricing and Getting Started
Team plan pricing lives at homescout.io/pricing under the team tab, where you can select a tier and set up the organization account directly. The team_5, team_10, and team_20 plans are self-serve.
For flex plans — anything over 20 seats, volume pricing above the standard tiers, or organizations with specific invoicing or contract requirements — homescout.io/enterprise is the right starting point.
Every seat is a full Scout account from day one. There is no trial tier, no feature-limited onboarding period, and no seat holder who gets less than anyone else on the team. You pay for the seats you use, and each of those seats gets everything.
