Questions
Common questions
Can I move from Nyumba Zetu to PropertyView?
Yes. Export your properties, tenants, leases and balances, paste them into our import workbook, and check the preview before anything is saved.
Which one is cheaper?
It depends on the size of your portfolio. Per-unit pricing grows with every unit, and a plan grows in steps. Work out your own number from both price lists.
Can I try PropertyView before I move?
Yes. Start on the free plan with one property, or book a demo first.
