DIYProject.ai vs Dwellin
Heads up if you are working from an older review: Dwellin is now Dwellin Rewards, and the product changed. It is a $99/yr membership that awards points for logging maintenance and rebates $75 to $150 in cash on major annual services, on top of a 10-year upkeep plan built from your address. It is an interesting bet, and it is a fundamentally different product from ours. DIYProject.ai does not pay you to maintain your house. It helps you plan and do the work: AI project plans, 48+ material calculators, contractor quote comparison, and maintenance that syncs to your real calendar, for $59/yr. Pricing shown is each vendor's published rate as of July 2026; confirm the current number on their site before buying.

Which one is right for you?
DIYProject.ai is best for…
- DIYers who want AI project plans and 48+ real material calculators.
- People who do the work themselves, so service rebates are worth nothing to them.
- Anyone who wants maintenance in Apple or Google Calendar.
- People collecting and comparing contractor quotes independently.
- Anyone who would rather pay $59 than $99.
Dwellin is best for…
- Homeowners who hire out most maintenance and would actually claim the rebates.
- People who want a 10-year capital-replacement forecast.
- Anyone who wants their home details auto-filled from public records.
- People motivated by points, streaks, and cash back.
Bottom line: Dwellin now pays you to maintain your home, which is a real proposition if you hire the work out and will chase the rebates. If you do the work yourself, the rebates are worth nothing and you are paying $99 for a maintenance tracker. DIYProject.ai costs $59, plans the project for you, and includes the calculators Dwellin does not have.
