Frontstead Kit vs Myly

Frontstead Kit is a free, open-source, MLS-ready development kit for building branded real-estate portals, including golf, waterfront, and other niche lifestyle markets. It combines a Next.js public portal, an Express 5 and Prisma REST API, and a separate RESO Web API synchronization worker. The portal supports property search, listing pages, inquiries, consumer accounts, and favorites. Supported MLS connector vendors listed are MLS Grid, Trestle, Bridge Interactive, and Spark API. Typesense can provide typo-tolerant search; without it, the kit uses PostgreSQL search. Node.js 22.12 and PostgreSQL are required, while Redis and Typesense are optional. Docker Compose is the documented portable deployment baseline, and Frontstead says no specific platform is assumed. MLS display controls start disabled, and unregistered MLS boards cause configuration to fail. The agent API is disabled by default. The project is community-supported through public repository issues. Agent HQ is separately licensed and adds CRM features. The free plan is free and self-hosted.

Myly is a web-based property intelligence and listing platform focused on helping Chennai home buyers understand a property’s location and surroundings. It lists flats, apartments and new residential projects, with locality details covering commute and transit access, water and environmental signals, nearby schools and hospitals, and checks to complete before booking. Map layers address school access, family priorities, commute, water, air, heat, green cover and safety. Myly says it combines public, satellite, map, route and third-party datasets where available, and that each layer should show its source, date and limitations. Users can share a report with family. The service presents use cases for first-time buyers, couples comparing commutes, investors and people buying from abroad. Chennai is its current pilot city; Mumbai is marked live, while Bangalore and Hyderabad are coming soon. Listings are intended for owners, builders, promoters or authorised representatives; other pages are Location Intelligence Profiles. Myly does not certify title, ownership, construction quality, safety, price appreciation or regulatory compliance, and says information may be incomplete or change over time. A free plan costs nothing and includes 25 insight credits daily. Premium is billed ₹399, with a launch offer of ₹0/month.
