Kerala reality check

What makes running a hostel in Kerala different.

Infopark and Technopark PGs run on IT project cycles

Kochi Infopark and Trivandrum Technopark tenants move in and out with 6-month projects, and working-women PGs fill fast when a campus hires. A live occupancy grid shows which beds are actually free before you promise one.

Half your rent is paid by a parent in the Gulf

Kerala families often settle the hostel bill from Dubai, Riyadh or Muscat, so the person paying is rarely in the room. Every payment you record produces a receipt as a public link that opens with no app or login, so proof of payment forwards straight on to the family — and the bed ledger shows you exactly which beds are still short.

Kerala tenants know their rights and expect paperwork

Tenants here ask for a written receipt and a documented deposit as a matter of course. A digital receipt on every payment and an itemised deposit settlement on move-out give them exactly that, and keep you clean if it's ever questioned.

One simple plan

One price for your whole hostel — every feature included, and the bill flattens as you grow.

  • Every feature — bed grid, rent ledger, defaulter list, monthly reports
  • One flat pack for your hostel — extra beds are ₹5 each, never a whole-plan jump
  • Automated WhatsApp reminders (wallet billed separately)
  • Multi-property roll-up + per-property views
  • Branded WhatsApp receipts · GST invoice from day one
Start free trial

Go a few beds over your pack? Those extra beds are just ₹5 each per month — no sudden jump to the next plan. When a bigger pack actually works out cheaper, we move you onto it automatically. That's our standard per-bed rate unless we've agreed a different one with you in writing.

Run more than one hostel? Each is priced on its own beds, and every extra one is discounted — 2nd 15% off, 3rd 20%, 4th and beyond 25% — all on one itemised bill. The discount follows the order you add your hostels, and applies to whichever is 2nd, 3rd and 4th on that list.

  • Staff / payroll / visitor management are day-one needs
  • You want a dedicated native owner app today
  • You can absorb a 2–4 week onboarding ramp

Dimension by dimension

Written by us. We describe how each product is priced and positioned — not what it costs. Vendors change their prices and we won't guess at someone else's, so check their current pricing page before you decide. Ours is published in full. Last reviewed 24 July 2026.

Core pitch

Aira Nexus Stay
Anti-leakage. We tell you how much rent is at risk and recover it.
RentOk
Full PG management suite — bed grid, KYC, e-sign, complaints, staff, food. Lots of modules.
TrackMyPG
Lightweight tracking — tenant and room management with reminders.

Pricing model

Aira Nexus Stay
One flat price for the whole hostel, not per bed — four published bands from ₹499/mo + GST, with beds above a band at ₹5 each instead of a whole-plan jump. Subscription priced separately from the WhatsApp wallet.
RentOk
Priced per bed and quoted on a demo call — ask them for a written quote at your bed count.
TrackMyPG
Flat per-property bands with messaging credits bundled into the plan — check their page for current numbers and how credits are counted.

What your bill does as you grow

Aira Nexus Stay
Mostly stands still. Adding beds inside a band costs nothing; above it, ₹5 a bed until the next band is cheaper — then you move up automatically.
RentOk
A per-bed price re-calculates every time a bed is added or emptied.
TrackMyPG
Moves when your property count moves, not when your hostel does.

WhatsApp cost model

Aira Nexus Stay
A flat ₹0.20 per WhatsApp message. Every debit shows on your wallet ledger with the recipient and the cost.
RentOk
Owners can connect their own WhatsApp number — messages come from you, at the cost of more setup at your end.
TrackMyPG
Bundles a number of reminder credits into each plan, then debits beyond that — check their current allowances.

Mobile-first owner UX

Aira Nexus Stay
Designed phone-first. 5-item bottom nav, every common action one thumb-tap. Open both on your own phone during a trial — that's the only comparison that counts.
RentOk
Has a dedicated native owner mobile app, mature UX.
TrackMyPG
Web-based — check what they offer on mobile today.

KYC / e-sign / police verification

Aira Nexus Stay
Out of scope by design. We don't do it, and won't until regulation forces us.
RentOk
Markets Aadhaar e-KYC, e-sign and online police verification — a real differentiator if you need it. Ask which method each uses.
TrackMyPG
Not positioned as a compliance tool — confirm on their site if you need it.

Free trial

Aira Nexus Stay
14 days, every feature, ₹50 wallet credit, no card, no call.
