Aqarrati or Excel for managing your rentals?
A spreadsheet can store numbers. It doesn't chase a tenant, generate a contract, or protect you in a dispute. Here's what that actually costs you.
Excel was never built for rental management

What Aqarrati automates for you
Aqarrati vs Excel, point by point
A spreadsheet can store numbers. It can't manage a rental relationship.
| Criterion | Excel | Aqarrati |
|---|---|---|
| Rent reminders | No reminders, you have to remember every due date | Automatic reminders by email and WhatsApp |
| Lease contracts | No contract generated, you copy a template by hand | A contract compliant with Moroccan law, generated in 2 minutes |
| Rent receipts | Typed one by one | Generated automatically as a PDF on every recorded payment |
| Late payment tracking | No alert, you find out when you open the file | A real-time dashboard of late payments |
| Data security | A local file, no backup or change history | Hosted, backed-up data with a full payment and contract history |
| Multiple properties | One sheet per property, or a file that becomes unreadable | One multi-property dashboard, a clear view of your whole portfolio |
| Real cost | Free to buy, but the time lost every month has a cost | Free up to 3 properties, then from 149 MAD/month |
| Language and currency | You set it up yourself | In dirhams, in French and Arabic, from day one |
