Alternatives
HomeZada alternatives: it depends what you came for.
We build Itemlist, one of the apps below, so read this knowing that. HomeZada is a genuinely broad web platform: inventory, maintenance, finances, remodel budgets. Its weak spot is mobile, where its iOS app has not been updated since May 2022. The right alternative depends on which of its jobs you actually use. Checked live on August 19, 2026.
The core fact
A web platform with a 2022 mobile app
HomeZada's web platform is live and maintained, with a real free tier: home inventory and documents for one home on Essentials, then $99 a year for Premium or $189 a year for Deluxe with up to three properties, per its own pricing page.
Its iOS companion app, HomeZada Mobile, is version 2.4.0, released on May 27, 2022, and rated 2.9 from 44 ratings as of August 19, 2026. A home inventory largely happens on your phone, standing in the garage photographing things, and four years without a mobile update is the reason most people end up on a page like this one.

The picks
Where each one fits
If you came for the home inventory: Itemlist, the app we build, does that one job on the device you actually inventory with. Locations hold rooms, rooms hold containers, and containers nest inside other containers. Items carry photos, brand, model, value and a serial number the barcode scanner fills in, and CSV export is free. It is free up to 100 items and 20 containers on iPhone and iPad. What it does not do: maintenance, finances or budgets. That honesty matters on this page in particular.
If you used the maintenance and documents side too: Under My Roof is the closest thing to a whole-home binder on Apple platforms: inventory plus maintenance schedules, document scanning and insurance policies, in a native app on iPhone, iPad and Mac, for $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year. It is the strongest overall HomeZada replacement for Apple households, and it is not our app.
If free is the whole requirement: NAIC Home Inventory is free with no commercial ties, made by the US insurance commissioners' association. It is rated about 2.1 as of August 19, 2026, with reviews reporting photo and PDF bugs, so expectations should be set accordingly. A spreadsheet plus our free room-by-room checklist is often the better free answer.
If the finances and remodel budgets are the point: none of the inventory apps replace that, ours included. HomeZada's web platform remains the most complete tool for the full financial picture of a home, and if that is your main use, staying may be the right call. Just do the inventorying itself in an app that gets updates.
FAQ
HomeZada alternative questions
Is HomeZada free?
Its Essentials tier is free and includes home inventory and home documents for one home. Premium is $99 a year or $15.95 a month, and Deluxe is $189 a year for up to three properties, per its own pricing page on August 19, 2026. The free tier is real; what it cannot give you is a current mobile app.
Is HomeZada still maintained?
The web platform is: it is live, sells subscriptions, and its 2026 plans advertise new AI features. The iOS companion app is a different story. As of August 19, 2026 it sits at version 2.4.0, released May 27, 2022, rated 2.9 on the App Store. Four years without a mobile update is the fact most worth knowing before committing to it.
What replaces the home inventory part on iPhone?
A phone-first inventory app. Itemlist is free up to 100 items and 20 containers on iPhone and iPad, organizes by location, room and nested container, and exports to CSV free. Under My Roof is the pick if you also want maintenance and document features with a native Mac app. Both were updated within the past few months, checked August 19, 2026.
Does Itemlist track maintenance, finances or remodel budgets?
No. Itemlist is a home inventory app: what you own, where it is, what it is worth. It does not do maintenance schedules, home finances or project budgets. If those HomeZada features are the ones you actually use, Under My Roof covers maintenance and documents on Apple platforms, and HomeZada itself remains the most complete at the full financial picture.
