How Much Does Society Maintenance Software Cost?

Published prices for society maintenance software in India run from about ₹10 to ₹30 per flat each month, and a few tools, including Aangan, are free for small societies. The number that matters is not the headline rate but what your society pays after free flats, fees and extras. This guide explains the pricing models, works through a 48-flat example and lists the costs to ask about before you sign.

It is written by Taheri Developers, who build and support Aangan, a maintenance billing app for housing societies. We use Aangan's published prices for the worked example because anyone can check them. Other vendors' figures come from their own pages or from comparison pages, and we label which is which.

What society maintenance software costs in India

There is no single market price, because vendors charge in different ways and many publish nothing. These are the figures we found on public pages on 30 October 2026.

• Aangan. The first 20 flats are free, then ₹12 a month for each flat above 20, or ₹8 if you run several societies. See the Aangan pricing section.
• NoBrokerHood. Its FAQ page says a society ERP generally costs ₹15 to ₹30 per flat every month, or ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a month for 100 flats. The page does not say where the range comes from, so treat it as a rough guide.
• SocietyManagementApp. Listed at ₹10 per flat per month in a table in Codingclave's guide. Codingclave sells its own society software and says so, so read its table as a starting point.
• MyGate, NoBrokerHood and ADDA. The same Codingclave table shows no published price for MyGate or NoBrokerHood and lists ADDA as pricing on request. For these, expect to ask for a quote.

Prices change, so confirm each figure on the vendor's own page before you budget.

Five ways vendors price society software

• Free up to a limit. A free tier covers a small society completely, then per-flat pricing starts. Aangan's Starter plan is free forever for up to 20 flats and includes the ledger, dues, receipts, UPI pay links and 100 WhatsApp receipts a month.
• Per flat, per month. NoBrokerHood's FAQ calls this the most common model. The bill grows with your society, which is kind to small societies and adds up for large ones.
• Tiers or modules. The same FAQ mentions tiered packages and fixed annual fees for smaller buildings. Compare what each tier includes, not only its price.
• One-time licence. You pay once and there is no monthly bill. Aangan offers this by quote, with the same app and features as the subscription.
• Quote only. No price is published. You describe your society and the vendor names a figure. That is fine if you get it in writing with GST and extras listed.

A worked example: what a 48-flat society pays

Here is one 48-flat society priced several ways. The Aangan rows come from its pricing page. The other rows are our own arithmetic on the per-flat rates above, not quotes from those vendors.

• Aangan Society plan. 28 flats above 20, at ₹12 each, is ₹336 a month. The first 20 flats are free.
• Aangan at the several-societies rate. 28 flats at ₹8 is ₹224 a month. This rate is for managers who run more than one society, so a single society does not get it.
• ₹10 on every flat. 48 flats at ₹10 is ₹480 a month, with no free flats.
• ₹15 to ₹30 on every flat. 48 flats at ₹15 is ₹720 and at ₹30 is ₹1,440 a month.
• One-time licence. No monthly bill. The price is a quote based on your society's size.

Most of the gap comes from the free first 20 flats. A society of 20 flats or fewer pays nothing on Aangan's Starter plan, while ₹10 on every flat would cost ₹200 a month for the same 20 flats. Over twelve months at monthly pricing, ₹336 a month comes to ₹4,032, against ₹5,760 at ₹10 a flat. Aangan's site lets you pay a month or a year ahead, so check the current terms on the pricing page.

How the bill changes with society size

Because Aangan's first 20 flats are free, its bill climbs more slowly than a flat rate in smaller societies. These figures use the published ₹12 rate for a single society. They are our arithmetic, not quotes.

• 20 flats. Nothing a month on the Starter plan. At ₹10 on every flat, the same society would pay ₹200.
• 100 flats. 80 flats above 20, at ₹12 each, is ₹960 a month. At NoBrokerHood's quoted ₹15 to ₹30, the same 100 flats cost ₹1,500 to ₹3,000.
• 200 flats. 180 flats above 20, at ₹12 each, is ₹2,160 a month. At ₹10 on every flat it would be ₹2,000.

The pattern is worth noticing. Above about 120 flats, ₹12 on the flats above 20 costs more than ₹10 on every flat. Free flats help small societies most, so a large society should ask for a quote and compare totals instead of assuming the lowest headline rate wins.

Costs to ask about before you sign

A low per-flat rate can hide extras. NoBrokerHood's FAQ and Codingclave's guide between them name the items below. Ask each vendor about every one.

• Payment fees. Some tools add a convenience fee when residents pay online. Aangan states no convenience fee on UPI and that the money goes straight to the society account. Card and net banking payments go through Razorpay, and the site does not state their cost, so confirm it.
• Setup and onboarding. Some vendors charge once to set up. Aangan states no setup fee on its subscription.
• Hardware. Codingclave notes that guard phones, tablets, boom barriers and RFID readers are usually priced separately. If you only need billing, avoid paying for gate and visitor modules you will not use.
• Messages. NoBrokerHood lists SMS credit fees. On WhatsApp, Aangan's Society plan includes unlimited receipts and reminders, while Starter includes 100 receipts a month.
• Reports and support. Custom report development and premium support tiers can be charged on top, according to NoBrokerHood's FAQ.
• GST and renewal. Ask whether the quote includes GST, and whether the price is monthly or billed ahead for a year.

Subscription or one-time licence?

A subscription lets you sign up yourself and start tonight. You add flats by hand or from Excel, and the vendor hosts and updates the software. A one-time licence suits a society that expects to use software for many years and would rather approve one payment than a monthly bill. Aangan sets the licence up with your committee, moves your Excel register and keeps the same features as the subscription. It says to ask about support and updates after setup, and you can ask for a licence quote by sharing your society's size.

To decide, divide the licence quote by your monthly subscription cost, which is ₹336 in our example. That shows how many months it takes to break even. Also ask what support and updates cost once the licence is bought, because that is the part a one-time price can leave out.

When paid software is not worth it

Paying is not always the right call. If your society has 20 flats or fewer, Aangan's Starter plan costs nothing, so the only question is whether the tool fits. If a careful treasurer already runs a sheet that balances every month, you may be fine for now, and our post on whether Excel is enough lists the signs that it is time to switch. If you want gate security and visitor management in the same app, billing software will not cover that, so read our MyGate alternative post before you choose.

A simple test helps. Add up the hours your treasurer spends each month matching payments, typing receipts and chasing dues, then set that time against the monthly price you were quoted. Remember that cost is not only the subscription. Switching takes a billing month of work: cleaning the flat list, entering opening dues and inviting the committee. Plan for that effort, and start on the first of a month.

What the price covers at Aangan

A fair price comparison lines up features first. This is what Aangan's society billing software page and homepage list.

• Billing. Bills go out on the 1st, with each flat's amount worked out from its area and a one-tap pay link. On the Society plan, Autopilot handles bills, late fees and reports.
• Collection. Residents pay by UPI through Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm or any bank app. Aangan reads the payer's name and amount and suggests the matching flat. Owners and tenants are both covered, and residents need no app.
• Reminders and late fees. Automatic WhatsApp reminders go out before the due date, on the due day, seven days after with the late fee, and thirty days after to the committee. Late fees follow your bylaws.
• Receipts and committee view. A signed PDF receipt follows when the bank confirms payment. A flat grid by wing turns green as flats pay, and tapping a flat shows the resident and the dues. On the 5th, each flat gets a report of money in, money out and the bills behind it.
• Books. A ledger with dues and receipts, bill snapping that fills in vendor, amount and date, and a full ledger export for the auditor.
• Several societies. Aangan's own example is a manager with societies of 16, 28 and 100 flats. That comes to ₹1,024 a month, or ₹12,288 a year, for 184 flats, with one login for all three.

How to compare quotes in five steps

1. Fix your numbers. Write down your flat count and how many flats pay by UPI today.
2. Ask for a total. Get the monthly cost for exactly that flat count, in writing, with GST.
3. List the extras. Note payment, setup, message and hardware charges beside each total.
4. Match features. Check that each tier includes reminders, receipts and the auditor export your committee needs.
5. Try before paying. Use a free tier or a demo, such as Aangan's committee demo, before you commit.

Society maintenance software can cost nothing for a small society or a few hundred rupees a month for a mid-sized one, if you ask about the extras. Price your own flat count, get quotes in writing, and compare features before you compare rates. Try a free tier or demo first. Aangan is free for up to 20 flats. It is built by Taheri Developers, who can also build custom software if your society needs something different.
