Versus a letting agent
10% of €1,800 rent is €180 a month. Essential is €29/month including VAT. Save €1,800+/year per property on that illustration — full comparison with worked euros.
Versus a spreadsheet
Excel stores Eircodes and who paid in March. It does not invite a tenant, store an RTB draft, or show a tradesperson the photo of the tap — spreadsheet vs software.
