Fair comparison
Where Google Sheets Excels for Property Management
- Familiarity and Flexibility: Most operators already know how to use Google Sheets, and its adaptable cell-based structure allows for completely custom layouts and calculations.
- Completely Free and Cloud-Synced: Google Sheets is free to use and automatically saves and syncs data in the cloud, accessible from any device with an internet connection.
- Real-time Collaboration: Multiple team members can work on the same sheet simultaneously, seeing updates in real time.
When ManagR is the Clearer Choice for Your Business
If You spend hours manually consolidating leads from multiple portals, calls, and walk-ins. — ManagR's Leads CRM automatically funnels every enquiry from BedR, NoBroker, 99acres, MagicBricks, Housing.com, and other sources into one inbox, tagging them by interest level so you call the right ones first. No lead is ever lost.
If You manually chase tenants for rent, calculate electricity bills, and reconcile payments against beds. — ManagR automates rent collection with WhatsApp UPI reminders, splits electricity bills by sub-meter or equally, sends payment links, and auto-reconciles every payment against the correct bed. Receipts are sent automatically.
If You want to run operations directly from WhatsApp in Hindi, English, or Hinglish, or have AI make calls for you. — ManagR's WhatsApp AI Assistant allows you to check occupancy, add tenants, and get reports by chat. Its AI Calling feature makes rent reminder calls, lead callbacks, and site-visit confirmations for you, logging responses automatically.
If You need a streamlined way to complete tenant KYC, generate e-stamped agreements, and track documents. — ManagR offers real Aadhaar-based KYC, allows you to buy government e-stamps, generate e-signed rental agreements via Aadhaar OTP, and stores all documents securely, searchable by tenant or property.
If You need a real-time overview of your properties, occupancy, and financial performance without manual calculations. — ManagR provides a live property and bed tracking map, showing vacancies and move-outs, and an Analytics Dashboard that updates occupancy, revenue, and churn in real time across all your properties.
“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.”
