What users say

I'm probably their biggest fan though I'm a small time investor. It is literally the single best accounting app I've ever used and better then working with a CPA or accountant.
This is a incredibly easy to use software to manage your property rentals. The expense categories break down into subcategories so you know exactly where your money is going and why.

Perfect for Rental Owners

Reviewed 2 years ago

My accountant loves it and it saves me hours of manual entry. As an added bonus, I have critical information in real time that can help me make good decisions for the future. Haven't really even scratched the surface on this part but it's all there.

Pros

I have used QuickBooks for years but got tired of the barrage of come-ons and sticky marketing techniques they use on customers. It seemed every time I opened the program, there would be new hoops to jump through if I wanted to do any actual work. Stessa is designed from the ground up for rental property owners. You enter income and expense items, that's it. All items fall under one of the carefully...

Cons

This is not a property management platform in the sense that you can schedule maintenance and track hours. However, you can capture and import invoices so your records are all in one place.

Incredible value

Reviewed 2 years ago

Stessa makes tracking all aspects of owning rentals easy. Incredible

Pros

This platform nails real estate management basics and is ever evolving to include new useful features like tad preparation documents.

Cons

No cons! Great team and product! Continual development of new features. The dev team is open to customer requests and acts on feedback.

Ok for main stream, struggles to adapt

Reviewed 5 months ago

It's ok. we wouldn't pay for it, not remotely. But it seems like they're trying to grow their business by solving the big problems only and ignoring the "small" ones. We will keep with them at least until the end of the year for ease of tax reporting, but will seriously look at other options as December rolls around.

Pros

Look, it's free, we get that. And it has added value to our business. But their inability to resolve a seemingly simple issue after 5 months is inexcusable.

Cons

For a software company, they are surprisingly not agile. Two examples:- For every nearly transaction that comes through, we have to attribute it to the property/tenant in spite of the amounts and ledgers being exactly the same every month. It appears the only AI they use is a checkbox that ties a bank account to a property. That's great for loans, but it should be able to handle rents too. - We can...

Best software for the price of FREE

Reviewed 5 months ago
Pros

This is just a really well thought out application that allows you to track every and all expenses for the property. It can assign tags to all expenses to track them for each unit.

Cons

I really wish they would offer lease management in a way where you can create and edit the leases on the app and tenants can esign the leases.

New Free Tier is Insulting and A Joke... Horrible Decision

Reviewed 2 months ago
Pros

I used to love Stessa.. And the new Pro features would be great - if they didn't charge $20 per month and downgrade the features of the Free tier...Extremely disappointed in Stessa whom I've been with for years. Will be switching as soon as I decide who the best free option is

Cons

Horrible value at the new Pro Tier.. And the Free features have been stripped to basically not helpful. Very disappointed

Great looking tool

Reviewed 4 years ago

I'm pretty satisfied with it. How can you complain about something with no cost to it?

Pros

It's pretty simple to use. If you can't see what to do, there isn't much to search around for to figure it out.

Cons

The upload CSV feature doesn't make any sense. It needs more columns, that way I don't have to go and massage every upload to get the item into its proper subcategory. Interestingly though when you download the CSV, all the columns are there.

They are still working through some features that currently need a work around

1 Stop Shop. It helps keep me more organized.

Cons

Platform is pretty intuitive overall. Only downside is that it is not available on Google phones.
