Data Ownership: Your Data Stays With You — Not With ListingMine
In traditional SaaS, the subscription fee is not the real cost. The real cost is losing control of your data. That’s the second trap every agency walks into without realizing it — the Data Hostage Model. You upload your entire business into the vendor’s system — your listings, client records, deal history, SPAs, loan files, agent data, commission logs. Then one day, you want to leave. And you discover the truth: You can’t.
Stop paying, and the platform doesn’t “pause” your account. It locks you out of your own business. Your data. Your history. Your proof of income. All held behind their login screen.
Not because the tech failed — but because the business model was never designed to let you leave.
ListingMine Flips the Model: You Own the Storage, Not Us
ListingMine does not store your data.
Your entire agency runs on your own Google Drive, which means:
- You pay Google, not ListingMine
- We do not earn a single cent from storage
- We cannot lock, freeze, suspend, or delete your data
- You retain full export and offline access — permanently
- Even if ListingMine disappears, your data stays untouched
This isn’t a “policy.”
This is structural architecture.
The Side-by-Side Reality
- Old SaaS (Data Hostage)
Data stored on vendor server
Vendor controls access
Stop paying = locked out
Data belongs to the platform
You are a tenant - ListingMine (Data Ownership)
Data stored in your Google Drive
You control access
Stop paying = nothing changes
Data belongs to you, legally & technically
You are the owner
You don’t need to “trust us” with your data — because we never hold it to begin with.
The Architectural Power Shift
Because the data lives in your storage:
✅ We have no ability to ransom you
✅ We cannot charge “storage fees” in the future
✅ We cannot lock you in to win renewal
✅ You are free the moment you decide to be free
That RM42.99/month Google Drive plan isn’t a cost.
It is your proof of sovereignty.
It means:
Your business is not inside our vault.
We are plugged into yours.
The Real Question
With one model, the vendor owns your data.
With the other, you do.
So the question is no longer:
“Which ERP has more features?”
The real question is:
“Why would you build your business inside someone else’s vault — knowing they can lock the door the moment you stop paying?”
