Ready to run your PG with less chaos?
Manual records vs TrackMyPG
Manual methods work for very small scale. TrackMyPG standardises what is already in the product: dashboard, rooms, tenants, invoices, payments (with gateway onboarding), move-out, security deposit history, reports, and settings.
We are not claiming the app runs your property for you — it is software your team operates with clear modules.

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.
Use TrackMyPG where invoice volume and bed count make manual reconciliation painful; keep simple tools where they still win.
