Our verdict on Stayqa
Stayqa is a web-based property-management platform for Indian PG owners, private hostel operators, student hostels, and bed-space businesses. It brings together properties, rooms, beds, occupancy, tenant records, bookings, rent and deposit dues, payment records, documents, maintenance requests, staff workflows, and operational reports. Tenants can use a no-app web portal to view bills, make payments, communicate, and raise maintenance requests. Its focus suits independent owners and small operations teams managing accommodation properties rather than organizations seeking a broad, multi-platform housing suite.
The published monthly plans give operators a clear freemium entry point. Starter costs INR 0 per month and includes tenant and booking management, rent tracking and dues, document storage, and email support. Growth costs INR 999 per month and adds UPI payment collection, receipts and payment history, maintenance workflows, staff management, advanced reports, and priority support. Enterprise costs INR 2499 per month and adds unlimited properties, unlimited beds, portfolio-level reporting, dedicated onboarding, an account manager, and custom integrations. A 14-day trial is also available without requiring a credit card.
Stayqa’s practical strength is its fit with local operating workflows and familiar tools. Integrations include WhatsApp, UPI, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Gmail, Razorpay, and Google Docs, while the product covers bed assignments, real-time occupancy, resident records, maintenance requests with photos, and operational analytics. That breadth is useful for coordinating daily accommodation work in one web application. Operators who need mobile or native-app coverage, or a wider platform ecosystem, should consider alternatives. Stayqa is the stronger fit for small Indian operators that value focused property and bed-space administration with local payment support.
