How DIYProject.ai compares
Honest, side-by-side comparisons with the leading home maintenance and home management apps: pricing, features, and who each one is really for.
Feature-heavy, web-first home-management suite with inventory, maintenance, projects, and home-finance tracking — priced at the top of the market.
A free-for-life 'home binder' you can only get through an inspector, agent, or lender. Now a division of iGo, whose homepage sells a utility-setup concierge. No iPhone app.
The beloved 'snap the nameplate, get the manual' app. It shut down on January 31, 2026, and its app has been pulled from the App Store.
Now 'Dwellin Rewards': a $99/yr membership that pays you points and cash rebates for doing maintenance, wrapped around a 10-year upkeep plan.
An indie iPhone home app that pulls smart-property details from public records and leans on AI-assisted onboarding, plus weekly content.
The most polished home binder on the market: photo-scan a nameplate, forward receipts by email, scan a LiDAR floor plan. Apple App of the Day, and the app Centriq pointed its users toward.
A newer iPhone home app with a 'claim your home', a monthly maintenance list, and photo/video inventory — priced at $80/year.
A builder-distributed maintenance app, now owned by ECI Software Solutions. There is no public signup: if your builder doesn't offer it, you can't get it.
A 'CARFAX for your stuff': a web tool that verifies maintenance with receipts and photos, then transfers the record to a buyer. Vehicle-first, with home as one of five asset types.
An AI-native home-records app (iOS, Android, and web) with a free Centriq importer, photo-scan item capture, and daily recall monitoring. Still in beta.
