Stessa is free, but it's desktop-first, slow on phones, and missing the things working landlords need most: rent collection, recurring invoices, and a real iOS app. PayStream Pro is the modern alternative built for the operator on the move.

"Stessa was free, but every time I tried to log a Home Depot run from the parking lot, I'd give up halfway through. The mobile experience is just not there. PayStream Pro feels like the app Stessa should have shipped."
— Small landlord, 6 doors, switched from Stessa Q1 2026Free is not free if it costs you 14 hours every April.
Native iOS, not a mobile webview. Add a property, snap a receipt, log a mileage trip, send a rent reminder — all in 3 taps from anywhere with signal.
Recurring invoices, auto-reminders, Stripe + ACH. Stessa requires a third-party partner for rent collection. We handle it natively.
Background-tracked, IRS-compliant export. The 65.5¢/mile deduction adds up — most landlords leave $1,000+/yr on the table because Stessa doesn't track it.
Stessa's parent (Roofstock) has been through layoffs and product slowdowns since 2023. We ship every week. Bug reports get answered by the founder.
Everything Stessa's tax package gives you, we give you — plus the rent-collection and 1099 features Stessa makes you bolt on.
