Best Home Maintenance Apps in 2026: Published Features Compared
The best home maintenance app depends on the record you want to keep. SeasonKeep builds a dated schedule from a detailed home profile. HomeZada combines maintenance with inventory, documents, projects, and finances. Dwellin centers its mobile experience on home records and rewards. HomeBinder is supplied through professional partners and can start with an inspection report already attached.

How this comparison was checked
We reviewed each company's public pricing, product, FAQ, and app-store pages. We did not create paid accounts or independently test every feature. Statements below describe what each company currently publishes, not a guarantee about service quality or logged-in behavior.
Prices are in US dollars before tax and exclude temporary promotions. Companies can change plans or features after our review date, so follow the source links before buying. When a company does not publish enough detail to support a comparison, we say so instead of filling the gap with an assumption.
SeasonKeep: a schedule based on the home's profile
SeasonKeep builds a maintenance calendar from more than three fields. Its onboarding profile records the home's ZIP code and climate zone, year built, size, number of stories, property type, installed systems and their ages, and relevant features. The rules engine filters 227 maintenance rules across 18 home systems, then applies home-age, system, feature, and IECC climate conditions before assigning dates.
Cost coverage varies by rule. In SeasonKeep's August 2026 catalog study, 13 of the 227 rules contained both a DIY-materials range and a professional-service range. Professional ranges are adjusted by a regional multiplier derived from the home's ZIP code when that cost data exists.
The current pricing page lists a free plan for one home with the top 20 priority tasks, a three-month calendar view, cost guidance, and a weekly digest. Home Plan costs $4.99 monthly or $39.99 annually and adds all applicable tasks, a 12-month view, personalized task guidance, maintenance history, contractor search, custom recurring tasks, schedule sharing, and CSV export. Home Pro adds more homes, PDF export, and other higher-tier features.
SeasonKeep runs in a web browser and does not currently offer a native iOS app. Its Home Records feature keeps model and serial numbers, receipts, warranties, manuals, contacts, and warranty dates with major appliances and installed home systems. It is not a general household-possession inventory or a household-finance system.
HomeZada: inventory, projects, and household finances
HomeZada's pricing page lists three homeowner plans. Essentials is free and includes home inventory, documents, contacts, a news feed, 10 Homeowner AI chats, and five Visual Design AI photos. Maintenance, remodeling projects, household finances, reports, and dashboards begin with Premium at $99 a year or $15.95 a month.
Deluxe costs $189 a year and covers up to three properties. Each additional property costs $99 a year. Its published allowances include 250 Homeowner AI chats and 50 Visual Design AI photos.
HomeZada's FAQ says its property templates create a maintenance schedule with more than 50 common checklists. The same FAQ documents spreadsheet export for home inventory and a ZIP-file backup of uploaded photos and documents.
HomeZada fits a homeowner who wants maintenance, possessions, projects, documents, and finances in one account. Its free Essentials plan does not include the maintenance features listed under Premium, so the free plan is not a direct substitute for SeasonKeep's free schedule.
Dwellin: mobile home records and rewards
Dwellin's product overview describes a mobile app for home profiles, appliances, maintenance, receipts, and reward-earning home-care actions. Its current FAQ says the app is available on iOS and Android.
Dwellin has changed its paid offering since this article was first published. Its current FAQ says the core Dwellin Rewards app is free and includes a maintenance calendar, home inventory, document storage, and basic rewards. Dwellin Prime Rewards costs $99 a year. Published Prime benefits include faster point earning, reimbursements on qualifying services, priority support, inventory export, and a 10-year maintenance record.
The current App Store listing says Dwellin creates a smart profile using public property data and provides maintenance guidance as the home ages. Dwellin's FAQ also says ZIP-linked public data is used to tailor regional maintenance costs and recommendations. Those statements contradict the earlier version of this article, which said Dwellin was not built around a home's age and offered only annual-budget cost guidance.
Dwellin's public pages do not explain enough about its scheduling rules or plan limits for us to compare those details directly with SeasonKeep's rules engine. Choose it for its advertised mobile records and rewards model, not because of an unsupported claim that one schedule engine is broader or narrower than the other.
HomeBinder: a partner-provided home record
HomeBinder's homeowner page says HomeBinder and HomeBinder Assistant are available only through authorized partners. A homeowner who books an inspection through the service receives a complimentary HomeBinder with the inspection report preloaded and access described as free for life.
The published feature list includes email or text maintenance reminders, appliance recall notifications, home-improvement records, document storage, service-provider contacts, and home inventory. HomeBinder says its periodic reminders and recall notifications are tailored to the home. Its public page does not describe the calculation used to time maintenance reminders, so we cannot compare that method with SeasonKeep's climate and applicability rules.
HomeBinder is the clearest fit when an inspector or another authorized partner supplies it as part of a home purchase. It is not presented as a product that any homeowner can buy directly without that relationship.
Centriq closed in January 2026
Centriq used appliance model-plate photos to find manuals, parts, and reminders, but it is no longer a current option. It shut down on January 31, 2026. Because Centriq's original site is unavailable, the date and migration details come from this post-shutdown report. Homer's current App Store listing describes Homer as a Centriq replacement.
The closure makes export access part of the buying decision. HomeZada documents inventory export and a ZIP backup of uploaded files. Dwellin lists inventory export under Prime Rewards.
SeasonKeep's Home Records metadata CSV and PDF summary are included with Home Pro. Original documents remain individual private downloads; SeasonKeep does not provide a ZIP backup in this version. Maintenance history exports follow their separate plan limits.
Check what an export contains before trusting any service with years of home records.
Common questions
Is a free home maintenance app enough?
It can be. SeasonKeep's free plan shows one home's top 20 priority tasks and a three-month calendar. Dwellin says its free core includes a maintenance calendar, inventory, documents, and basic rewards. HomeBinder is free when supplied through an authorized partner. HomeZada Essentials is free for inventory and documents, while its maintenance features begin with Premium.
Compare the free plan with the job you need done. A free schedule and a free inventory solve different problems.
Which app supports multiple homes?
HomeZada Deluxe covers up to three properties for $189 a year, with additional properties at $99 a year each. SeasonKeep Home Pro covers up to five homes, while Landlord covers up to 25. Dwellin says it supports people who manage multiple properties, but its current public FAQ does not state a numeric property limit. Confirm that limit inside the app before subscribing.
Can a spreadsheet replace an app?
Yes. A spreadsheet can record tasks, dates, costs, contractors, and notes without a subscription. You must create the task list, set reminders elsewhere, and update recurring dates yourself. An app is useful when its schedule generation, reminders, records, or exports remove enough of that work to justify the price.
What replaced Centriq?
Homer is the clearest documented migration destination because it advertises itself as a Centriq replacement. HomeZada and Dwellin cover parts of Centriq's former inventory and document-record role, but they are separate products with different data models.
