Updated October 2026. Every company’s price and terms were read on its own site on October 20, 2026. Beycome is one of the companies compared.
To list your home on the MLS without overpaying, compare the total cost, not the sticker price: the upfront fee, plus any fee at closing, plus add-ons and renewals. As of October 2026, entry flat-fee MLS plans start at $85 to $399. On a $417,500 home, NAR’s September 2026 median, the all-in cost runs from $99 to $2,176.50, because some plans add 0.25% to 0.5% when you sell. Beycome Basic is $99 with $0 at closing.

Key takeaways
- A 0.5% fee at closing costs more than the upfront price on almost any home. On $417,500, it’s $2,087.50.
- Six of the ten entry plans below show no fee at closing (Fizber’s varies by state) and cost $99 to $399 in total.
- Same price, different product: at $99, one plan gives 6 photos for 6 months. Beycome Basic gives the most photos the MLS allows, for the longest term the state and MLS allow**.
- Check add-ons. ShowingTime, extra photos, a second MLS or offer help can each cost $50 to $595 on some plans.

What does a flat-fee MLS listing really cost?
Here’s each company’s cheapest plan that includes an MLS listing, at three home prices. The middle one is NAR’s September 2026 median of $417,500. Companies are in A to Z order, not ranked. Prices are from each company’s own site on October 20, 2026.
| Entry plan | Upfront | At closing | Total on $300,000 | Total on $417,500 | Total on $750,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beycome Basic | $99 | $0 | $99 | $99 | $99 |
| Brokerless $99 | $99 | $0 | $99 | $99 | $99 |
| ByOwner.com MLS plan | $295 | 0.25% | $1,045 | $1,338.75 | $2,170 |
| Fizber MLS Boost | $270 (sale price) | None listed for FL, NC, SC; varies by state | $270 | $270 | $270 |
| Homecoin | $149 | $0 | $149 | $149 | $149 |
| HomeZu Basic (FL, TX) | $399 | 0.1% | $699 | $816.50 | $1,149 |
| Houzeo Bronze | $399 | $0 | $399 | $399 | $399 |
| ISoldMyHouse Get LISTED | $299 | None stated | $299 | $299 | $299 |
| List With Freedom Gold | $89 | 0.5% | $1,589 | $2,176.50 | $3,839 |
| Unreal Estate Basic | $85 | 0.5% | $1,585 | $2,172.50 | $3,835 |
A few notes, so the table is fair. Homecoin says its price varies by MLS; $149 is the default shown. Fizber’s checkout widget still showed $295, its pre-sale price, so the $270 may not apply at checkout. Fizber also lists success fees of 0.1% to 0.5% in some states and 0.12% for Atlanta’s FMLS. HomeZu’s Florida page shows a 0.1% closing fee in one place and no closing fee in another. In Georgia and North Carolina, its entry plan is $299 with no closing fee shown.
None of these totals include doc stamps or transfer tax, title, or pay for a buyer’s agent. Those apply whichever company lists you.
Same price, different product: photos, term and help
A cheap plan that runs out after 6 months, with a handful of photos, can cost you more in the end. So here are five entry plans with every term each site states. “Not stated” means the company’s page didn’t say. Our MLS-without-a-realtor guide compares Brokerless, Houzeo and List With Freedom the same way.
| Entry plan | Homecoin | HomeZu Basic | ISoldMyHouse Get LISTED | Unreal Estate Basic | Beycome Basic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront | $149 | $399 | $299 | $85 | $99 |
| At closing | $0 | 0.1% (FL, TX) | None stated | 0.5% | $0 |
| Total on $417,500 | $149 | $816.50 | $299 | $2,172.50 | $99 |
| Photos on the MLS | Max | 20 | 6 to 10 | 15 | The most the MLS allows |
| Listing term | 12 months | 6 months | 6 months | 6 months (Texas page); not stated in Florida | The most the state and MLS allow** |
| MLS | Local MLS | Local MLS | Local MLS | Local MLS | Local MLS in 17 states + DC |
| Syndication named | Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Redfin | Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Homes.com | Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com | Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com | Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and more |
| Offers and e-sign | Listing forms e-signed; offer tools not stated | DocuSign | Listing contract e-signed; offer tools not stated | Not stated | Online offers dashboard; e-signature; ShowingTime when available |
| Broker or negotiation help | None included; $99 to $299 add-on | None on Basic | None: you negotiate | Email Q&A with a broker | Artur AI (offers and negotiation); a person on Concierge |
| Listing changes | 10 free | Unlimited | Not stated | 2 | Unlimited, free |
| Cancellation and refund | Anytime, no cost | Anytime, no fee; no refund once in the MLS | Anytime; refund only before MLS entry, minus $10 | $0 cancellation fee | No fee*; no refund once listed |
Fair is fair: Homecoin’s 12-month term and max photos at $149 are a strong entry offer, and it charges nothing at closing. ISoldMyHouse charges no closing fee either. The gap is in what you get for the price, so line up the rows that matter to you.
Our advice for choosing between two cheap plans: compare what you’ll pay to sell, not just what you pay to list. A $99 plan and an $89 plan look $10 apart until the home sells. Then one may add a fee at closing, push you to a set title company, or charge for something you thought was included. So read the closing-fee row first. Then check the term, which MLS you’ll be on, and whether listing changes cost extra. Saving $10 up front means nothing if it costs you $1,000 at closing.
Which add-ons change the math?
Some plans keep the sticker low and charge for things you’ll likely want. These are the add-ons each company lists on its own site, as of October 20, 2026.
- Brokerless: ShowingTime $50, going from 6 to 25 photos $50, a second MLS $99.
- List With Freedom: offer and counteroffer review $595, a transaction coordinator $395, a market analysis $195.
- Homecoin: listing help from $99 to $299.
- HomeZu (Florida and Texas): max MLS photos $100, a 12-month term $100.
- Premier Flat Fee (Florida): $15 for each extra price or listing edit in a month.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. Brokerless $99 plus ShowingTime and 25 photos comes to $199, still for a 6-month term. Beycome Basic includes the MLS photo maximum, ShowingTime when the MLS offers it, e-sign and unlimited changes at $99. It’s a side-by-side fact, not a knock on anyone: pick the plan whose included items match what you’d buy anyway.
When does a minimum fee kick in?
Watch for a floor on percentage fees. Houzeo’s Bronze plan, at $399, is a true flat fee, per Houzeo’s own Florida page. Its Silver, Gold and Platinum plans add 0.5% to 1.25% at closing, with “a minimum commission of $999.” On a $150,000 home, Silver’s 0.5% would be $750, but the $999 minimum applies. That’s $1,448 in total with the $449 upfront.
Ask any company two things in writing. Is there a minimum at closing? And is the closing fee owed if you sell to a buyer you found yourself?
What happens when the term runs out?
Most entry plans run 6 months. If your home hasn’t sold by then, you pay to stay listed. HomeZu prices renewals at $99 for 1 month, $249 for 3 months or $299 for 6 months. Others sell a longer plan instead: Brokerless $188 for 12 months, ISoldMyHouse $399 for 12 months, and Fizber’s Premium at 12 months.
Beycome Basic runs for the longest term the state and MLS allow: 24 months in most states, 12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania.** Within that term, there’s no renewal fee to plan for. You can cancel with no fee,* though there’s no refund once the listing is live.
Most homes sell well inside 6 months. The typical home spent 33 days on the market in September 2026, according to NAR’s existing-home sales report. A longer term pays off when yours isn’t typical: a high price, an unusual home or a slow season can stretch a sale past month 6, and that’s when a renewal fee would land.

Get up to 2% back at closing
On homes listed by other agents, Beycome credits you up to 2% of the price at closing (1% kept, $1,499 minimum; not on FSBO homes or homes listed by Beycome sellers).
Buy a home →Is the listing fee the biggest cost?
Usually not. The bigger choice is whether to pay the buyer’s agent, and how much. Say an agent asks for 2.5% on a $417,500 home. That’s $10,437.50, more than 100 times a $99 listing fee. It’s an example only. Commissions aren’t set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable.
Since August 17, 2024, NAR says offers to pay buyer’s agents are no longer allowed on the MLS. A buyer can still ask for it in an offer, and you can accept, decline or counter. You can also offer help with the buyer’s closing costs instead. Our guide on who pays closing costs shows where that fits.
Five questions to ask before you pay
- What’s the total I’ll owe at closing, in dollars, on my price?
- How many photos go on the MLS, and how long does the listing last?
- What does a renewal or a longer term cost?
- Are showings, changes and offer tools included, or add-ons?
- Can I cancel, what does it cost, and is any of it refunded?
