Genea Submeter Billing vs SAUB Utility Bill Management

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.

SAUB Utility Bill Management is web-based software for property teams that run tenant utility billing and recover electricity and water costs. It captures usage data, allocates charges, runs monthly billing, produces clearer statements, and supports recovery reporting. Billing workflows can use manual meter readings or smart metering. The service supports prepaid and postpaid models, including wallet access for prepaid meters. Landlords can view tenant consumption, historical trends, and charges online. SAUB also describes gas and custom billing structures in its wider offering. Billing records include supporting detail intended to make them audit-ready. The service is aimed at estates, landlords, managing agents, body corporates, and residential, commercial, mixed-use, and multi-site properties. Onboarding depends on site size and data readiness, with unit count, billing frequency, and metering type used to recommend a setup. Pricing is on request, with monthly retainers arranged in tiers by volume and support needs.
