Check who has paid, log an expense with a photo of the receipt, raise a work order, and message a tenant — from your phone, in the browser. Your tenants do not need to download anything either.
Reflects Rentwelly's positioning and common market observations; verify current features with each vendor.
Most of what a landlord does on a phone is quick lookups and quick captures: has the rent landed, what is this tenant's balance, here is a receipt. None of that needs a native app, and a native app adds a download, a permission prompt, and an update you will ignore.
The bigger reason is the tenant side. Every step between a tenant and paying rent costs you collections. Asking someone to install software, create an account, and remember a password to pay you money is a step too many, and the predictable result is that they keep paying however they used to — which is the problem you were trying to solve.
So: browser, works on a phone, add to home screen if you want the icon. The accounting work is genuinely nicer on a laptop, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise.
It runs in the browser and works on a phone. Add it to your home screen if you want an icon. No app store, no version you forgot to update.
Log the expense with a photo at the hardware store rather than finding a faded receipt in a coat pocket next April.
They pay and file requests in a browser. Every extra step you ask of a tenant is a reason they go back to paying however they used to.
Not a summary that syncs later. Balances, arrears, and expenses are the same records your P&L and Schedule E figures come from.

Free for 14 days, no credit card, no download. Open it in your browser and add it to your home screen.
No, and that is deliberate. Rentwelly runs in the browser and is built to work on a phone, so there is nothing to install and nothing to keep updated. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your tenants get the same deal — no download required to pay rent or file a maintenance request.
The things that come up away from a desk: check who has paid and who has not, look up a tenant balance or lease date, log an expense with a photo of the receipt, raise a work order, and message a tenant. The heavier accounting work is easier on a larger screen, but nothing is locked to desktop.
No. Tenants log into a portal in their browser to pay rent, see their balance and history, and submit maintenance requests. Asking a tenant to install software is one of the most reliable ways to have them keep paying by whatever method they used before.
It needs a connection, like most rental tools that keep a shared ledger. If you are logging expenses somewhere with no signal, note it and enter it when you are back online — the receipt photo is the part worth capturing in the moment.
Everything you enter posts to a real double-entry ledger, so the numbers you check on your phone are the same numbers your accountant sees at year end. A note is a reminder to do bookkeeping later; this is the bookkeeping.
