Early Bird Access & Bold Ads explained
SpareRoom is free to use. Anyone can post a Free Ad and contact all Bold Ads (blue), and other Free Ads (grey) more than 7 days old. To contact Free Ads less than 7 days old you'll need to upgrade to get Early Bird Access. Upgraded users can also post Bold Ads, which are free for everyone to contact, appear higher up the results list and get (on average) double the enquiries.

Free for ALL to contact you Bold Ads can be contacted from day one without the user requiring Early Bird access.
Keep your ad near the top of the listings Bold Ads are ranked higher in the search results than Free Ads.
Higher visibilty Bold Ads stand out on the search results page.
Early Bird Access
Contact all ads Early Bird Access means there are no restrictions on which ads you can contact.
Need a room? Competition for good rooms is fierce, particularly in busy areas. Early Bird Access gives you a 7 day head start.
Have a room to fill? Early Bird Access lets you contact all Room Wanted Ads. Pro-active landlords who contact room seekers fill their rooms faster than those who sit back and wait for enquiries.
