RentOk Alternative for PG Owners: Why My PG Is Built to Run Your Entire PG

If you run a PG, hostel or co-living space, you already know the work goes far beyond collecting rent. You also handle electricity bills, meals, staff, police verification, inquiries and complaints. Many owners start with an app like RentOk and later look for something more complete. This guide compares the two so you can decide.

What RentOk Offers

RentOk is a popular property management app in India. Its own materials highlight:

• Tenant e-KYC and e-signing of rental agreements

• Automatic rent reminders on WhatsApp

• 20+ payment modes for tenants

• A tenant complaint section

For owners who want a general rent collection and tenant management tool, it does the job. As a PG grows to more branches, more staff and more tenants, owners often want deeper operational control in one place. That's where My PG comes in.

My PG: Everything Your PG Needs, in One Platform

My PG is a complete PG management platform for PG owners, co-living operators, student housing and hostels. Rent is just one part of it.

Two Dedicated Apps: One for Owners, One for Tenants

Owners and tenants need different things, so My PG gives each their own app, available on both Android and iOS.

• Owner app: manage properties, beds, tenants, rent, staff and reports from your phone.

• Tenant app: pay rent, view invoices and receipts, raise complaints, check the meal menu, request leave and manage electricity balance.

Tenants get a smooth experience and owners get fewer phone calls.

Manage Multiple PGs from One Dashboard

Switch between branches instantly and see analytics across all your properties. Track total, occupied, reserved and available beds in real time, across single, double and triple sharing and AC or non-AC rooms. Set rate cards per sharing type, add amenities and extra services, and move tenants between beds or rooms with rent adjusted automatically.

QR Self Check-In for Tenants

Tenants scan a QR code, fill in their details and submit their KYC themselves. There's no paperwork chase. Each tenant gets a profile holding ID proofs, documents and emergency contacts. Notice periods, leave requests and the resulting rent or deposit adjustments are calculated for you.

Rent, Invoicing and Ledger Without the Headache

• Monthly invoices generated automatically, with advance rent, pro-rata adjustments and late fees

• Payment links and dynamic UPI QR codes

• Instant WhatsApp receipts

• A full ledger of credits, debits, dues and collections

• Security deposit tracking with deductions and settlement history

• Expense logging by category, with approval workflows

• GST calculation and taxable tenant reporting

Smart Electricity Metering

Electricity disputes are among the most common PG headaches. My PG supports:

• Manual meters: enter readings or bulk-upload them from Excel, and bills are calculated by unit rate.

• Smart prepaid meters: switch power on or off remotely, track balances live, set low-balance alerts and auto-cutoff, and let tenants recharge a digital wallet with a full passbook.

• Smart postpaid meters: readings sync automatically, and costs are split equally or day-wise among room occupants.

Gate Logs, Attendance and Outpasses

Log entry and exit digitally and track curfews. Guardians or owners can be notified automatically. Attendance can be recorded by QR or manually.

Police Verification Made Simple

Raise verification requests, upload official forms and track status in one workflow, so compliance stops being a scramble.

Staff, Payroll and Daily Checklists

Manage wardens, cooks, cleaners, guards and managers with role-based access. Track staff attendance by QR and generate monthly salaries. Create inspection checklists for cleaning, safety and kitchen, assign tasks, collect photo proof and view audit scores.

Food and Mess Management

Publish weekly menus with Excel bulk upload. Tenants can log meal opt-outs or extra meal requests, so the kitchen cooks the right quantities and wastes less.

Built-In CRM to Fill Beds Faster

Capture inquiries from the web, phone or walk-ins and move them through stages: New, Contacted, Visit Scheduled, Converted or Lost. Import leads in bulk and take advance bookings with token payments. You can also run community polls for tenant feedback.

AI Assistant, Help Desk and Audit Trail

Get quick answers and summaries from the built-in AI assistant. Use the help desk with video guides and FAQs. Every SMS, WhatsApp and push notification is logged, and an audit trail records key actions. Role-based permissions ensure each person sees only what they should.

White Label: Your Brand, Our Technology

Run a large PG chain or a co-living brand? My PG offers white-label solutions so the apps carry your name and identity. Your tenants see your brand, while you get the full My PG platform underneath. Ask us if this fits your business.

Simple Pricing: 1 Month Free, Then Per Bed

Try My PG free for the first month. After that, pricing is based on the number of beds in your PG, so the cost grows with your property. [Add per-bed rate or a link to the pricing page.]

We're also continuously building. Every feature described above is live today, and more are on the way.
