Comparison
Aira Nexus Stay vs TrackMyPG — an honest comparison.
TrackMyPG is a flat-priced tracking tool aimed at small and independent owners. Stay is built for owners whose problem is recovering rent, not just recording it. Here's where each one wins — including where they do.
TrackMyPG vs Aira Nexus Stay, side by side
| Dimension | Aira Nexus Stay | TrackMyPG |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One flat price for the whole hostel, priced on beds — not on how many properties you run. ₹499/mo up to 75 beds, ₹999 up to 200, ₹1,499 up to 500 (~20% less on annual), ₹5/month per bed above a pack, + 18% GST. Every feature we ship is included — no tiers, no add-ons. | Priced flat per property, in bands by how many properties you run — check their page for current numbers. |
| What your bill is priced on | Beds. Take on a second hostel and it's priced on its own bed count, at a discount — 15% off the 2nd, 20% the 3rd, 25% the 4th onwards, on one itemised invoice. | Property count — the band you sit in depends on how many properties you run rather than how big they are. |
| Target segment | PG owners whose rent is leaking. Sweet spot 15–60 beds; the packs price cleanly to 500. | Small and independent owners; very small PGs. |
| Bed-level vs room-level | Bed-level always — every tenant on every bed has their own ledger, and you can price an AC or corner bed higher. | Supports both room-wise and bed-wise billing. |
| Mobile experience | Built phone-first: a 5-item bottom nav, every common action one thumb-tap away, installs to the home screen. Native apps on the roadmap. Try it on your own phone during the trial — that's the only mobile comparison that counts. | Web-based — ask what they offer on mobile today. |
| WhatsApp messaging | Verified Meta WABA. A flat ₹0.20 a message, nothing bundled — every send on your wallet ledger with the recipient and the cost. | Bundles reminder credits into each plan and debits beyond the allowance — check their current allowances and how credits are counted. |
| Online rent collection | Phase 2 (UPI Autopay + payment links). Today: record the payment, receipt goes out on WhatsApp instantly. | Online collection via Razorpay. |
| Auto-invoicing | Yes — the monthly rent roll generates per active bed. Short stays bill once, per day. | Yes. |
| Deposits & move-out | Deposit + advance passbook with a running balance, and a move-out Final Statement that nets what you hold against what's owed into one number — refund or collect — with an NOC sent on WhatsApp. | Deposit tracking. |
| Electricity & water billing | Yes — enter each room's actual bill and it splits per head, or meter it per bed. Billed separately from rent, on the same tenant ledger. | Ask them how utilities are handled. |
| Reports | Leakage-first dashboard, plus occupancy, collection rate, dues-aging, defaulters, deposit register, P&L and CSV export of every report. | Financial reports module. |
| Complaints / maintenance | Yes — tickets with category, priority and an open → in-progress → resolved lifecycle. | Check their current feature list. |
| Aadhaar e-KYC / e-sign | Not offered — deliberately out of scope. ID document upload only. | Not positioned as a compliance tool — confirm on their site if you need it. |
| Free trial | 14 days, every feature, ₹50 wallet credit, no card, no call. | They advertise a free trial — check the current terms on their site. |
| Maturity | New (2026), founder-run and early. Small, and close to the customer. | Established brand in the segment. |
| Support | The founder takes the call, plus in-app tickets you can track to resolution. | Email / ticket support. |

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.
Pick TrackMyPG if…
- The lowest possible monthly fee is your single deciding factor. A plan built for very small PGs can come in under our ₹499 Starter, and if recording rent is genuinely all you need, that difference should decide it.
- You want a tool that records what happened, not one that chases it — no dunning ladder, no leakage number, no move-out settlement, and no need for any of them.
- Bundled message credits suit your send volume and you'd rather not think about per-message pricing at all.
Pick Aira Nexus Stay if…
- You're losing real money to late and missed rent, and you want it recovered — not just recorded.
- You want one flat price for the whole hostel that doesn't re-tier the day you take on a second property: each hostel priced on its own beds, 15/20/25% off the 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
- You want a mobile-first owner experience that works at the front desk and on your scooter.
- You want transparent WhatsApp pricing — a flat ₹0.20 per message, every debit on your ledger.
Where we agree
- PG software should be quick and cheap to start — no implementation project.
- Bed/room-level tracking is the core requirement.
- WhatsApp reminders are the single highest-ROI feature.
- KYC is not table-stakes for most independent owners.
