MatchMyQueryHow to Use Match My Query: Step-by-Step Walkthrough (2026)
This is the complete, step-by-step walkthrough of Match My Query, for both sides of the market. If you need something, you will learn how to post a requirement that gets fast, relevant proposals. If you supply something, as a seller, owner, lessor or service provider, you will learn how to find matching requirements and respond in a way that wins.
Ten minutes of reading, and you will use the app like someone who has been on it for months.
Part one: getting started, both sides
Download Match My Query from the Play Store or the App Store and sign up with Google, email, or Apple. One account works for both sides of the market. There is no separate seller registration, because the same person is often both: you might post a requirement for a caterer this month and respond to tenant requirements for your vacant flat next month.
On signup you receive 40 free credits. Credits are only ever spent when you respond to someone else's requirement. Posting your own requirement never costs anything.
Part two: posting a requirement that gets results
Tap the post button and choose your category: Real Estate, Vehicles, Electronics and Appliances, Events and Venues, or Professional Services. Then the subcategory, for example Residential, PG and Hostels, or Commercial under Real Estate.
Now the part that decides everything: the details. A requirement is a brief to the market, and the better the brief, the better the proposals. Five rules from watching what actually works:
Be specific about the thing. "2BHK semi furnished, family of three, no ground floor" beats "need flat". Specific requirements make it easy for the right lessor to recognise a match, and easy for the wrong one to skip you.
Always give a budget or range. Requirements with a budget receive noticeably more proposals, because suppliers do not respond into the dark. A range is fine: "₹22,000 to ₹26,000 per month" or "lease advance up to ₹12 lakh".
Name the area, and the flexibility. "Kondapur preferred, Gachibowli and Manikonda also fine" widens your pool without diluting relevance.
State the timeline. "Need by September 1" tells a lessor with a flat vacating on the 25th that you are their perfect tenant.
Never type your phone number. You do not need to, proposals come through the app, and the platform hides contact details automatically anyway. Let the privacy protection do its job.
Tap post. Your requirement is now live to every matching seller, lessor and service provider in your area. Requirements are moderated, so genuine posts only.
Part three: receiving and comparing proposals
Proposals land inside the app, each showing the responder's offer, price and details. You will typically see them arrive over the first hours and days.
Treat it like a shortlist exercise. Compare price against what was promised, ask questions through the app, and ignore anything that does not fit; you are never obligated to reply. When a proposal looks right, connect and take it forward, visit the flat, inspect the car, taste the caterer's menu. The app got the right people to your table; the final judgement is still yours, as it should be.
One habit worth keeping: once your need is fulfilled, close the requirement. It keeps the marketplace clean and your notifications quiet.
Part four: responding to requirements, for sellers, lessors and service providers
Open the app and browse live requirements filtered by your category and area. Each requirement shows you the full brief before you spend anything: what they need, where, budget, timeline. That order matters. On lead-selling platforms you pay first and discover the lead's quality later. Here you read first and choose.
When a requirement fits what you have, tap respond. Responding costs credits, and your proposal goes to that person alone, never to a shared pool, never alongside your response being resold to competitors.
How to write a proposal that wins, in three lines: match their words ("your 2BHK requirement in Kondapur, I have exactly this on the same lane as the Botanical Garden road"), state your price plainly, and add the one detail that builds confidence, a photo, the possession date, your years in the area. Tenants and buyers pick proposals that sound like a person who read their requirement, not a broadcast.
Priority options exist if you want your proposal highlighted, and a requirement you post can be boosted to the top of the feed. Use them once your basics are working, not before.
Part five: credits, simply explained
Everyone starts with 40 free credits, and 10 more arrive each month. A proposal costs 15 credits in most categories, and 20 or 25 in a few, so those 40 credits cover your first two proposals in most categories, or one in the priciest. After that, packs start at ₹30 for 5 credits; ₹59 buys 15, ₹99 buys 25, and the larger packs bring the price per credit down. Credits are spent on responding, boosts and priority placement. There is no subscription, no renewal date, no salesperson calling you. If you respond to nothing this month, you spend nothing this month.
Part six: the etiquette that makes the whole thing work
Post real requirements with real budgets. Respond only when you genuinely match; a credit spent on a mismatch is wasted money and a wasted first impression. Reply to proposals you shortlist, even briefly. Close fulfilled requirements. The platform stays useful exactly as long as both sides treat requirements as real briefs, and the community that keeps that standard is the one that wins the best responses.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate accounts to post and to respond? No. One account does both. Post a requirement when you need something; respond with credits when you have what someone else needs. Many users, especially owners and lessors, do both in the same month.
What does it cost to post a requirement? Nothing. You post your requirement for free, in any category, and receiving proposals is free too. Only responding to requirements uses credits.
How many credits does one response cost? A proposal costs 15 credits in most categories, and 20 or 25 in a few. Priority responses cost more. You always see the cost before you confirm, and your 40 free signup credits cover your first two proposals in most categories, or one in the priciest.
Can I edit or close my requirement? Yes. You can edit details while it is live and close it the moment your need is fulfilled. Closing keeps your notifications clean and the marketplace honest.
What should I do if a proposal looks suspicious? Do not connect, and report it from within the app. Requirements are moderated and reported responders are reviewed. Never make advance payments to anyone you have not met and inspected.
I am a lessor with one flat. Is this worth it for me? Yes, arguably most of all. You can read tenant and lessee requirements in your exact area without spending anything, and you use a few credits only when one matches your flat. No subscription, no shared lead, and your proposal reaches that one tenant alone.
