MyVoltage Utility Management Platform vs ResidentIQ Utility Billing

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.

ResidentIQ Utility Billing handles utility billing for multifamily properties, combining resident charges and fees into a single monthly bill. Bills can be full-page, postcard or electronic, and residents can pay online through their existing rent payment portal. The service imports utility invoices, scans and verifies them, then schedules payment for each property. It supports submeter installation and existing systems nationally, with readings stored and validated. Using move-in and move-out data from property management software, it can calculate RUBS or read submeters and post amounts to resident ledgers. Vacant Unit Cost Recovery matches charges to occupancy dates so residents are billed for fees incurred while they occupied a unit. Billing fees and methods are audited initially for compliance, and properties receive annual reviews for regulatory changes. Portfolio charts and graphics support performance comparisons, with data export to an external tool of the customer's choice. The web service is powered by AMS Billing and integrates with major property management systems, which the product page does not name. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can schedule a demo.
