Genea Submeter Billing vs MyVoltage Utility Management Platform

Genea Submeter Billing helps property managers, building engineers, tenants, and building teams collect utility readings and create invoices. It works with networked and non-networked buildings. For networked properties, it connects to a building management system and sends readings to a dashboard; collection can be daily, hourly, or every 15 minutes. For non-networked meters, users scan a QR code and upload a meter photo with a smartphone. Supported meter types include electric, BTU, gas, water, pulse, and data. Dashboards let users search and view individual meters, sort by building or site, and manage multiple buildings. Consumption data can be exported to Excel or CSV and shared with tenants. Alerts flag readings outside a normal range projected from historical trends and seasonal adjustments. Genea supports existing hardware and connects to BMS or metering networks over an encrypted connection. Its billing team compiles customer data each month and prepares invoices for properties and tenants. The Submeter Billing mobile app is available for iPhone and Android. Pricing is on request.

MyVoltage Utility Management Platform provides cloud-based smart metering and utility management for buildings, residential estates, and shopping centres. Its meters track electricity, water, and gas, while landlords and tenants can view real-time hourly, weekly, and monthly consumption data. Alerts can cover irregular consumption, water leaks, meter status changes, meter location, and consumption data. The platform reconciles billing, payments, and consumption; the maker says invoices use actual readings rather than estimates, with daily invoices for prior-day usage. Other listed functions include network balancing, council statements and payments, historical data, rent collection, and alternative-energy readings and bills. Solar and generator use can be tracked and billed from readings. Tenants can top up online by credit card or cash subject to terms and conditions; prepaid Wallet recharges have no cost. MyVoltage lists Android, iOS, and web platforms, says payment transactions are 3D secure, and states a 99% uptime guarantee. Pricing is on request.
