Two platforms for housing swaps in Denmark — but with different approaches to transparency, ownership and functionality.
Hjembytte.dk is owned by the Swedish company Lägenhetsbytet Sverige AB. Despite marketing as free, it costs 99-199 DKK for 30 days of listing depending on region. Byt og Flyt is Danish-owned and developed with a genuinely free basic version. Here are the key differences.

Byt og Flyt is a Danish company (Xoens ApS, CVR 46225430) built specifically for the Danish rental market and Danish tenancy law. Hjembytte.dk is operated by a Swedish company.
Byt og Flyt's basic version is free with unlimited messages to matches. Hjembytte costs 199 DKK for 30 days in Greater Copenhagen (99 DKK elsewhere) — and prices are not visible on their website.
Byt og Flyt shows the match percentage from both sides — you see both how well their home matches you and how well yours matches them. This is a unique feature no other platform offers.
Byt og Flyt offers MitID verification. Hjembytte.dk has no documented verification process.
Hjembytte.dk claims access to 15,000+ users via the Swedish parent company. Byt og Flyt is a newer platform with a smaller but growing user base.
Hjembytte offers to send the swap application digitally to the landlord. This can simplify the administrative process.
