Who does not like free? But in business, “free” always comes with a catch. It may be limited features, limited tenants or limited support. Paid does not always mean better either. So let us look at both calmly.

When free is enough

  • You have a very small PG, say under 10 beds
  • You only want to note rent, nothing more
  • You do not mind doing most work by hand

Where free tools often fall short

Many free tools limit the number of tenants or buildings. Some show ads. Some do not offer reminders or reports. And when something goes wrong, there may be no one to call. All that glitters is not gold.

Run a PG? Try our PG management software free for 3 days.

What you get with paid

  • Features that are complete, not cut in half
  • Support when you are stuck
  • No ads or sudden limits
  • Proper care of your tenants’ KYC and payment data
  • Regular updates

How to decide

Ask one question: what does a mistake cost me? If a missed reminder or a wrong entry can cost you ₹5,000 or more, paying ₹999 a month for a tool that prevents it is sensible.

The best of both

You do not have to guess. Start with a free trial of a paid tool. Use every feature for a few days, then decide. Ours is free for 3 days, no card needed, and then ₹999 a month plus applicable taxes.

Want to make this easier? Our PG management software keeps your rooms, tenants and rent in one place, with automatic reminders and reports. See all the features, or start a free 3-day trial.
