HAUS vs RentOk: an honest comparison for PG owners
Both help Indian PG owners run rent, tenants and complaints. They differ most on pricing and on how much they do today.
HAUS and RentOk are both PG management software for India. RentOk is the more established product, with team access, expense and attendance tracking. HAUS is newer, publishes its prices (free up to 15 beds, then ₹29 per bed), and sends rent straight to the owner's own UPI with no commission.
Facts about RentOk come from its own public pages as of 30 October 2026, including RentOk’s pricing article. Check their site for the latest.

- Your residents shouldn't have to download anything to pay, raise issues or sign their agreement.
Everything HAUS does today

- Rent roll: Month-by-month dues per tenant, partial payments, and charges such as electricity, maintenance or meals.
- UPI payments to you: Residents pay your own UPI ID or QR code. HAUS never holds the money and takes no commission. They add the UPI reference, you confirm it, and an email receipt goes out.
- Tenant web app: No download. Residents log in with Google or a one-time link, see their dues, pay, upload KYC, raise issues and sign their agreement.

- Rent agreements: Leave & licence agreements generated from the tenant's details, signed by you, then e-signed by the tenant with a drawn signature and an email code. Both get the PDF.
- Issue tracker: Residents raise issues with photos. You assign them to staff, move them to in progress and mark them fixed.
- Announcements: Post to one property or all of them. Residents see it in their app and can get it by email.
- Move-out settlement: Residents request move-out in the app. HAUS works out notice, pending dues and the deposit refund for you to approve.

On the way, not live yet: automatic WhatsApp reminders, UPI AutoPay, staff attendance, expense tracking and a monthly P&L.
Questions
Is HAUS a good RentOk alternative?
For a single PG or a small group of PGs that wants published pricing and rent paid straight to the owner, yes. If you need staff attendance, expense tracking or separate manager logins today, RentOk covers those and HAUS does not yet.
How much does RentOk cost?
RentOk does not publish prices. Its pricing article says the cost depends on your properties or beds, the features you need and your team. HAUS is free up to 15 beds and ₹29 per bed per month after that.
Can I move from RentOk to HAUS?
Yes. Add your properties, rooms and beds in HAUS, then your tenants. For more than 5 properties, email us and we will help move your data in.
