Ready to run your PG with less chaos?
Choosing PG software in India: a practical checklist
“Best” depends on your size, budget, and whether you need online rent. Here is how TrackMyPG lines up with its real feature set — no invented modules.
Verify each vendor against your month-end workflow: invoice creation, how payments attach to invoices, and how many properties you run.
Compare vendors against these facts
| Topic | TrackMyPG | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Bed / room model | Per-room or per-bed rent configuration in Rooms | Generic property tools may lack bed-level pricing |
| Indian payments | Marketplace-style onboarding for gateways (Razorpay & PayU flows implemented; others listed in product) | Global tools with weak India settlement story |
| Notifications | Email, SMS, WhatsApp infrastructure with wallet-backed sending where enabled — not a promise of every auto-campaign | Separate bulk SMS vendors |
| Reporting | Five in-app report types focused on rent, dues, tenants, occupancy | Export-only or BI add-ons |
| Team access | Role presets + invites on Pro/Enterprise; Basic is single-PG without invites | Per-seat enterprise pricing elsewhere |

- −May lack bed-level and PG-specific flows
How to evaluate this comparison
Most PG software comparisons fail because they stay at headline claims. Operators should instead test real monthly workflows: tenant onboarding, invoice generation, payment status clarity, overdue follow-up, and end-of-month reporting. The right platform is the one your team can run consistently without workaround-heavy spreadsheets.
In practical terms, evaluate how quickly staff can complete billing tasks, whether payment records stay tied to invoices, and whether occupancy and dues are visible without manual merges. Reliable operations usually beat feature-heavy complexity for owner-led PG businesses.
If you are comparing alternatives to improve collections and reporting quality, test this flow with real tenant data for one billing cycle. That gives better clarity than demo-only checks.
Demo TrackMyPG on a real month: create rooms, raise invoices, walk through mark-paid and a report — then decide if it matches how you collect rent in your city.
