Free Buildium Alternative

Property management software can get expensive quickly, especially if you own a lot of properties. Fortunately, there’s a  better way to manage your properties than paying for an expensive property management solution: ZipBooks.

Though Buildium and ZipBooks offer many comparable features, when you do the math, there is no comparison. With ZipBooks, you can pay your bills, track property expenses, and receive online payments for as many residents as you want, all for free.

ZipBooks is truly free

Enjoy unlimited access to our software at no cost. And while we’ll offer you finance features like the ability to integrate with Stripe and WePay, we won’t pressure you into using them – no hidden fees, anywhere.

Access your data on-the-go

Do you use your iPhone for data entry while you inspect apartments in the morning and your computer to do bookkeeping in the evening? No problem. Our free accounting software allows you to easily switch back and forth. You can use ZipBooks on a laptop, smart phone, mobile device, and multiple operating systems. So whether you’re accepting rent payments while you’re on vacation or you’re working from home, you can manage your properties with ease.

Protect your data in the cloud

Since we know that property management means handling a lot of sensitive data, we protect your information with 256-bit SSL encryption. Plus, by storing your information online rather than the dusty file cabinet in your leasing office, you’ll avoid physical loss, theft, and hard drive failure.

Intuitive design and friendly user-interface

The moment you log into ZipBooks you’ll understand how easy it is to use. The interface was designed with you in mind so you can easily manage every aspect of your properties without having to spend time learning a complicated new system. Explore ZipBooks to see how seamless property management can be.

Time Worth Tracking

ZipBooks lets you track time spent on work orders  from any browser on the spot. After tracking time, you can immediately submit your time to create a billable invoice.
