Blueprint vs Dwellin
Now Dwellin Rewards: a $99/yr membership that awards points and cash rebates for completing home maintenance, built around a 10-year upkeep plan.
Dwellin has rebranded to Dwellin Rewards, and the product changed with it: a $99/yr Prime membership that awards points for logging maintenance and rebates $75 to $150 in cash on major annual services, wrapped around a 10-year upkeep plan auto-built from public property records. Blueprint takes the opposite bet. It does not pay you to maintain your home; it helps you plan, schedule, and do the work, with AI project plans, push reminders, and a native iOS app. Competitor pricing and features were checked as of August 2026 and can change, so confirm the current details on their site before deciding.

Pick Blueprint if you want

- Anyone who wants a full step-by-step AI plan before starting a project.
- People who want answers about their home that link back to their own records.
- Households that share one workspace across up to 5 members.
- People who want a web app alongside the phone app.

Bottom line
Dwellin pays you to maintain your home, which is a real proposition if you hire the work out and chase the rebates. If you do the work yourself, the rebates never trigger and you are paying $99 for a tracker. Blueprint costs $49.99, plans the project for you, and reminds you before things slip.
Blueprint vs Dwellin FAQ
Is Dwellin free?
Dwellin has a free tier, but the rewards program that defines the current product, Dwellin Prime, is $99/yr. Blueprint has no free tier: Pro is $49.99/yr or $7.99/mo, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
Is Dwellin's $99 membership worth it?
Only if you hire out major maintenance. Prime rebates $75 to $150 in cash on big annual services, so if you already pay contractors for those it can pay for itself. If you do the work yourself there is nothing to rebate, and Blueprint at $49.99/yr gives you AI plans and reminders instead.
Didn't Dwellin cost $24.99 a year?
It used to. The old $2.99/mo or $24.99/yr Pro tier is gone; Dwellin rebranded to Dwellin Rewards and the current membership is Prime at $99/yr. Reviews quoting the old price describe a product that no longer exists.
Does Dwellin auto-fill my home from public records?
Yes, and it is a genuine strength: enter your address and it builds a home profile from public property data. Blueprint has you set up your property yourself, guided by onboarding, and speeds up the appliances: photograph a room and confirm the appliances it suggests, or snap a nameplate to fill in brand, model, and serial.
Which is better for someone who does their own maintenance?
Blueprint. Dwellin's rebates only pay out on hired services, while Blueprint is built around doing the work: recurring schedules with push reminders and completion history, AI project plans with materials and cost estimates, parts from your owner's manual with buy links, and a tool inventory so you know what you already own.
