Fair comparison
Excel's enduring strengths for property operators
- Zero learning curve, every operator knows it
- Free and works offline
- Totally flexible column structure
- Fine for a single 1-2 unit property
When ManagR simplifies your property operations
If you manage 5+ units or multiple properties, — ManagR offers a unified dashboard and automated workflows that Excel cannot provide.
If you track leads from multiple online portals (NoBroker, 99acres, MagicBricks, Housing.com) and walk-ins, — ManagR centralizes every enquiry into one CRM, auto-merging duplicates and tagging interest levels.
If you spend hours manually sending rent reminders and reconciling payments, — ManagR automates WhatsApp rent reminders with UPI links, reconciles payments, and sends receipts instantly.
If you need to split electricity bills across tenants, — ManagR calculates and WhatsApps each tenant their share directly, removing manual math and disputes.
If you need to handle tenant KYC and rental agreements digitally and legally, — ManagR provides Aadhaar-based KYC and e-stamped, e-signed agreements, all court-valid without notary visits.
If you manage caretakers and need real-time oversight of visits and tasks, — ManagR allows role-based access for your team, auto-assigning tasks and tracking outcomes live.
“ManagR is free property management software for Indian owners of PGs, hostels, co-living spaces and rental flats. Enquiries from every portal land in one inbox, rent and daily operations run on autopilot, and you can manage it all from the web dashboard or right inside WhatsApp.”
