Excel vs PG management software

Spreadsheets work until the second building, shared EB, and fifteen different due dates. RentTick is the dashboard that replaces the fragile sheet — not a furniture-rental brand, not a tenant marketplace.

This page is not “RentTick vs RentOk.” It is the comparison PG owners actually make: keep chasing rent in Excel and WhatsApp groups, or put invoices, beds, and guest self-pay in one place.

What changes when you leave the sheet

One source of dues

Excel copies diverge the week a warden and an owner both edit. Software keeps one invoice status: paid, partial, overdue.

EB split without a side sheet

Per-room or per-person electricity on the same rent invoice. You are not reconciling a second workbook at month end.

Guests see their own bill

Paying guest login replaces ‘how much do I owe?’ on WhatsApp. They pay and raise complaints without your screenshot thread.

Notice to people actually staying

Bulk WhatsApp to current PGs is not a 200-person alumni group. House notices go to this month’s residents.
