Buyer's guide

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.
