What PG software actually costs in India

The three common pricing models

• Per-bed or per-room pricing — you pay per unit managed, so cost scales directly with property size. Common for tools aimed at larger hostels.
• Flat monthly fee per property — one price regardless of room count, which favours owners with fewer, larger properties over many small ones.
• Free tier with paid upgrade — free for a limited number of rooms or a single property, with paid plans unlocking multi-property view, staff accounts, or advanced reports.

Across the market, full-featured PG software in India typically lands between roughly ₹2,000 and ₹10,000 per month once you're past the free tier, with the top end usually reserved for multi-property owners running staff accounts and detailed financial reporting.

What actually drives the price up

• Number of properties — multi-property dashboards are usually priced higher than single-property plans.
• Staff or caretaker accounts — giving your team logins with limited access is often a paid-tier feature.
• Online rent collection — payment gateway integration for digital rent collection sometimes carries its own transaction fee on top of the subscription.
• Reporting depth — basic occupancy views are usually included everywhere; profit-and-loss and expense-ledger reporting tend to sit in higher tiers.

The cheapest plan isn't always the cheapest choice. A ₹0 tool that can't handle bed-level sharing or pro-rata rent often costs more in owner time than a ₹3,000/month tool that gets it right the first time.

Where Kipinn fits

Current pricing is best confirmed directly, since plans and limits are updated periodically.
