Kipinn is built for owners and managers who need to be running day-to-day — bed vacancy, tenant onboarding, rent reminders and staff tasks — without institutional setup overhead, across one property or a whole portfolio.
StayManager is a cloud PMS positioned for hostels, universities and student housing. If that matches your situation more closely than an independent PG or hostel, it's worth a look too — we'd rather point that out than pretend one tool fits everyone.
Pricing and plans change over time for both products, so it's worth checking current pricing directly on each site before deciding — this page focuses on what each tool is built to do, not live pricing.
Most owners can move by re-entering current tenants, rooms and rent status into Kipinn's dashboard — there's no dependency on the other tool's data format.
If you run independent PGs, hostels or rental properties and want to be operating quickly, Kipinn is built for that. If your situation matches what StayManager specialises in — student housing PMS — it's worth evaluating directly too.
