Where we stand, before the list. We make a home maintenance tracker, Househand, so this is our own category and we are not neutral in it. It is free with one banner ad, on Google Play and not yet on the App Store. It is on the list below, second from last, and it is not the verdict. We take no referral fee from any app named here.
HomeZada sells a home management service in three plans, and only the paid ones include the maintenance schedule. Premium is $99 a year or $15.95 a month, with no refunds on either. Both store listings describe a home inventory app, and neither mentions a maintenance schedule. The iPhone app was last updated on 27 May 2022.
What HomeZada's plans include
From HomeZada's homeowner pricing page, read 11 October 2026.
| Plan | Price | Adds |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Free | Home inventory, documents, contacts, 10 AI chats |
| Premium | $99 a year, or $15.95 a month | Home maintenance, projects, finances, reports, 100 AI chats |
| Deluxe | $189 a year | Up to three properties, 250 AI chats, home marketing |
Twelve months of Premium paid monthly comes to $191.40, nearly twice the annual price. The page lists add-ons beside the plans: $99 a year for each property past three on Deluxe, $75 to publish a file of your property, and $99 to transfer your data to the buyer when you sell.
The apps and the website have drifted apart
| Listing | Last updated | Rating | Sells in the app |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Store | 27 May 2022, version 2.4.0 | 2.9 from 44 ratings | Nothing; no In-App Purchases row |
| Google Play | 4 March 2024 | 2.4 from 56 reviews, 10K+ downloads | Nothing; no in-app purchases badge |
The pricing page now sells AI chats and AI design photos, and neither store description mentions them. So the plan is bought, renewed and canceled on the website, which is why the store's own subscription settings will not show it. One of the three reviews Google Play showed first, from October 2025, says a charge came a year after an emailed cancellation. HomeZada's own answer is on its pricing page: cancel from the account summary page.
What each alternative costs, read off the listings
Read 11 October 2026. Apple's column is the In-App Purchases row in each listing's Information section, expanded. None of the Google Play listings had an in-app items and offers section, so that column is the badges.
| App | How it is paid for | App Store | Google Play |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hippo Home | Free; Hippo sells insurance | Nothing listed; iPhone only | No badges; 50K+ downloads |
| Homer | Free tier; Premium subscription | Ten items, $4.99 to $69.99 | In-app purchases badge; 50K+ |
| Under My Roof | Free tier; subscription | $4.99 a month, $34.99 a year | Not found by name |
| HomeBeacon | Free for one home; Pro subscription | $9.99 a month, $95.90 a year | In-app purchases badge; 100+ |
| Househand (ours) | Free with one banner ad | Not yet listed | Contains ads badge, no purchases |
| Oply | Free; matches you with local pros | Nothing listed | No badges; 1K+ |
The alternatives
Hippo Home, free and paid for by insurance
The most-rated app in Apple's search for home maintenance: 4.8 from nearly 1,600 ratings, and 50K+ downloads on Google Play. It builds a to-do list with due dates and reminders, and sells nothing in the app. Its listing says how it earns: quotes for home, auto, flood and pet insurance, and discounts on products from partner brands. One review the App Store showed first asks for a way to switch off maintenance reminders altogether. It is iPhone only on Apple, with no iPad version.
Homer, the broadest of the subscriptions
Inventory, maintenance, receipts, a floor plan scanner, notes pinned in augmented reality and an AI helper, in eight languages. Apple's list shows Homer Premium Subscription at six different prices from $4.99 to $69.99, with no billing periods, plus One more home at $9.99. It is the nearest thing on this page to everything HomeZada's Premium plan covers. Google Play rates it 3.3 from 246 reviews.
Under My Roof, for iPhone, iPad and Mac
An App Store Editors' Choice, rated 4.7 from 530 ratings: an inventory first, with maintenance, repairs and household supplies tracked beside it. Its two listed prices, $4.99 a month and $34.99 a year, are the plainest list on this page, and it supports Family Sharing. A search of Google Play for it by name found nothing, so it is for Apple households only.
HomeBeacon, free for your first home
A maintenance tracker and nothing else: HVAC filters, gutters, smoke detectors, water heater flushing, with priorities and a history for resale. Both listings say no subscription is needed for your first property. Pro is $9.99 a month or $95.90 a year on Apple's list. It is new and small, with 20 App Store ratings and 100+ downloads on Google Play.
Househand, ours
Free with one banner ad and nothing to buy, on Google Play only for now. It starts with 33 jobs, each interval naming the safety body or manufacturer behind it, and tracks how old the water heater, furnace, roof and AC are against their typical lives. History and costs export as CSV, Excel or PDF. The browser version has a sample house in it and no ads. It keeps no home inventory and stores no documents.
Oply, maintenance with a pro on call
Free on both stores, with nothing sold in the app. It gives personalized maintenance recommendations and seasonal checklists, answers questions from a photo, and matches you with local pros, the service its listing is built around. The App Store rates it 18+, which its listing does not explain. Small so far: 44 App Store ratings and 1K+ downloads on Google Play.
What these do better than ours
HomeZada, Homer and Under My Roof keep a full home inventory with receipts, warranties and documents, for insurance claims and estate planning, and Househand does none of that. Homer scans floor plans. Oply finds you someone to do the job. Under My Roof runs on iPad and Mac, and every app here except Under My Roof is on the App Store and Google Play both, while ours is Android only for now. Hippo Home, HomeBeacon and Oply are free without an ad. If you want a record of everything in the house, pay for Homer or Under My Roof; if you want to know when the filter is due, almost anything on this page will do.
