Bedspace Manager vs Tera

Bedspace Manager is a property-management platform for operators of bedspaces, PGs, hostels, staff housing, labour camps, and co-living properties. It tracks occupancy, leases, and balances down to individual beds, alongside properties and units. Billing supports either calendar months or custom 30-day periods from move-in, with automatic proration; recurring invoices can be timed for arrears, current, or advance billing. The system creates branded PDF invoices and sends them through WhatsApp without requiring a tenant app. WhatsApp also supports reminders and maintenance intake, and the Emma AI assistant can categorize maintenance messages, detect duplicates, and hand off uncertain cases. Role-based access and an audit trail support financial controls; invoices and transactions are voided or adjusted rather than deleted. The platform runs on web, Android, and iOS. It supports monthly rentals only, not daily bookings, holiday lets, or fixed-term commercial leases. Plans are billed monthly: Starter is $15 a month for 30 active leases, Growth is $45 a month for 90, Elite is $105 a month for 210, and Teams is $245 a month for unlimited active leases. Each account starts with a 14-day trial requiring no credit card.
