Why ManagR is the better choice for property operations
If You need to manage leads from multiple portals and calls without losing any enquiries. — ManagR's Leads CRM unifies all enquiries from BedR, NoBroker, 99acres, MagicBricks, Housing.com, walk-ins and calls into one inbox, auto-merging duplicates and tagging interest levels. Tally does not offer lead management.
If You want to automate rent collection and electricity bill splitting over WhatsApp. — ManagR sends automated WhatsApp rent reminders with UPI links, reconciles payments, and splits electricity bills by sub-meter or equally. Tally requires manual setup for such operational tasks.
If You wish to streamline tenant KYC and digital rental agreements. — ManagR enables Aadhaar-based KYC, e-stamped digital agreements signed via Aadhaar OTP, and automated document storage. Tally lacks these specific property management features.
If You need a live overview of your property's occupancy, bed status, and upcoming vacancies. — ManagR provides a live map of your property, tracking occupied, vacant, and moving-out beds, and feeds upcoming vacancies into your lead pipeline. Tally is not built for property or bed tracking.
If You want to manage your property business using an AI assistant on WhatsApp or automate tenant calls. — ManagR features a WhatsApp AI Assistant for operations in Hindi, English, or Hinglish, plus AI Calling for automated rent reminders and lead callbacks. Tally does not offer WhatsApp integration or AI calling.
“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.”
