How we compared them
Home+ publishes this page, so we have been strict about fairness. We looked at each app's own website or app store listing, and we only state what those pages say. Where a page does not say, we write "not stated". Prices change, so check each app before you sign up.
We compared on five things: whether it is built for UK homes, maintenance reminders, document storage, what you can use for free, and whether it helps you find a tradesperson.
The short answer
- •Best free all-rounder built for UK homeowners: Home+
- •Best for UK paperwork and everyday household admin on Android: Kepthouse
- •Best for a detailed home inventory with AI help on iPhone: Homer
- •Best for a large, US-style home management suite: HomeZada (UK availability not stated)

Which type of app suits you?
- •If you own a UK home and want reminders, a document vault and trades in one free place, start with a UK-built app such as Home+ or Kepthouse.
- •If you mainly want a full inventory of belongings for insurance, look at inventory-led apps such as Homer or HomeZada.
- •If you own several properties or let them out, check each app's multiple-property and landlord features.
- •If you only need a simple list, a spreadsheet or paper logbook can work.
