Comparison based on publicly available information. NoBroker pricing as of 2025.
NoBroker's rent manager charges ₹249–999/month and locks HRA receipts behind paid plans. RentyBase generates Section 10(13A)-valid receipts automatically, free for every payment and gives both landlord and tenant real-time access to the same ledger.
Spreadsheets have no tenant access, no automatic receipt generation, and no move-in proof. WhatsApp messages disappear, can be edited, and have no legal standing. RentyBase gives you a permanent, tamper-proof record that both sides can access.
Portal rent tools are designed for listing, not ongoing management. They don't track payments, generate HRA receipts, or handle move-in/move-out proof. RentyBase is purpose-built for the full rental lifecycle. From day one to the final deposit settlement.
No migration. No credit card. Your tenant joins free. Start with one rental and add more any time.
