[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/property/stessa-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/property/stessa-profile/alternatives/) # Stessa User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.5/5 - Total reviews: 104 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 4.3/5 - Value for money: 4.4/5 - Functionality: 4.2/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 84 reviews (81%) - 4 stars: 6 reviews (6%) - 3 stars: 6 reviews (6%) - 2 stars: 1 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 7 reviews (7%) ### Most mentioned pros - I utilize it for my accounting and my CPA loves the spreadsheet style reports that I generate for him at year end - Syncing the app with our bank account and associated credit card is a great time saver and ensures we do not overlook any expenses or income. - Stessa is a very useful tool for financials. ### Most mentioned cons - Scheduling a phone call was not practical—the first available appointment was five weeks out. If you are used to proper double-entry accounting, I recommend sticking with QuickBooks. - Unfortunately, the software was not intuitive and became confusing, especially when it came to allocations. - Sometimes I feel like the preset categories for expenses are not as comprehensive as I need them to be. ## Stessa customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 104 (page 1). ### Stessa is a game changer for the independent rental owner. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eric Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Stessa offers the most intuitive, purpose-built rental property financial software that I’ve come across. Far too many colleagues of mine are still either using overly complicated general accounting software, or worse, tracking everything manually in Excel. Stessa not only allows me to automate the majority of my bookkeeping, but the real time reporting functionality allows me to monitor the performance of my assets and catch anamolys much quicker. While other property management software may offer expense tracking or basic accounting features, Stessa’s exclusive focus on the financial aspect of rental property ownership allows them to offer a far more robust feature set and innovate at a faster clip. #### Cons As a single-entry accounting system, it comes with all the drawbacks associated with that method of accounting (no cross-checking, greater potential for error, no tracking of real accounts, etc.). This was an intentional design decision, however, as this software is geared to be more user friendly for the average rental owner. While it lacks the sophistication of a double-entry system, Stessa has come up with innovative ways to simulate certain aspects of a double-entry system through features like a derived Balance Sheet report using user provided asset values and debt information. --- ### Ease of Use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tony B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Investment Management - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Able to pull reports quickly and professionally. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability to track every important metric used by investors in real estate. #### Cons I wish the system would track owner financing deals #### Reasons for switching to Stessa I used both as a backup but the ease of use was the primary reason for switching. --- ### Horrible Company - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Todd A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Very Frustrating. This is clearly a company that is looking to make as much as they can while putting as little as they can into support. Pay a little more and get support somewhere else. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros It was a good price point, but you get what you pay for. #### Cons You pay extra to be able to speak to a human being. What really happens is you type you message to someone online. Then they respond by sending you a calendar to set up an appointment. When you click on the calendar, you find that there are no appointments for the next 30 days. Extraordinarily frustrating. This is after you have spent hours and hours of wasted time entering your data. They are cheap for a reason. They do not care about customer service which means they do not care about their customers. When I complained online to them about this, [sensitive content hidden] response was to tell me, “We are only a team of 3 people so we do what we can in terms of phone support.” --- ### Fantastic Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nick K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I think this is the best thing out there. Everything about Stessa is top notch from the product itself to the customer service. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its easy to use, their is no guess work. I like the banking integration, tenant ledgers, general ledger, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and every other report you could need. The best part for me is the year end package it generates for my tax guy. #### Cons I'd like to see the ability to update the RE Tax PIN number. Although customer service is excellent and will make any updates you need quickly. #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Excel is great but its very cumbersome. You never know where you actually stand with your property. --- ### Right tool for the job - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jim M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered After using Quickbooks for a few years, this program is a breeze and intended just for rental management, so not any clutter to have to work through or modify. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Pre set up for rental properties with all the categories, tax reports (my tax preparer loves it), etc. Bank transactions transfer into Stessa automatically Rent collection option, which I haven't begun using yet but intend to #### Cons Split transactions appear on the ledger as individual transactions rather than true splits, which makes reconciliation a bit challenging sometimes. Cannot split transactions with the mobile app, only desktop #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Was getting too expensive and difficult to use --- ### Ok for main stream, struggles to adapt - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Marty A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's ok. we wouldn't pay for it, not remotely. But it seems like they're trying to grow their business by solving the big problems only and ignoring the "small" ones. We will keep with them at least until the end of the year for ease of tax reporting, but will seriously look at other options as December rolls around. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Look, it's free, we get that. And it has added value to our business. But their inability to resolve a seemingly simple issue after 5 months is inexcusable. #### Cons For a software company, they are surprisingly not agile. Two examples:- For every nearly transaction that comes through, we have to attribute it to the property/tenant in spite of the amounts and ledgers being exactly the same every month. It appears the only AI they use is a checkbox that ties a bank account to a property. That's great for loans, but it should be able to handle rents too. - We can go on mint.com and enter all the log in credentials and that gives us every balance of every card. Stessa has continuously struggled with adding some credit cards attached to one of my banks. We have reached out to them for the better part of a year off and on and they seem perplexed and unable to wrap their heads around it. Now, after 5 months of us staying on them about it, they've ghosted us, or given us the "yeah we're working on it." If it's that hard to do, how can another company just do it with ease? #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Quickbooks wasn't great and was charging us without the customization we wanted. However, it's starting to look more attractive as Stessa struggles to solve basic problems. --- ### RE investor? You need to start using Stessa! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bradley M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease of income and expense tracking allows you to take control of your business. By linking accounts or adding transactions as you go, Stessa does the rest - generating all the reports you'll ever need, making tax time a walk in the park. #### Cons It would be nice to allow another user, like a partner or manager, to login with their own credentials and have limited(or full) accessibility to the your data. #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Stessa is much easier without adding the limitations that come with other similar products. --- ### Easy to use and fantastic customer service! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sarah M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Stessa helped me keep track of the accounting side of our real estate so we can easily give all the information to our accountant at the end of the year. It also makes it possible to quickly see a snapshot of our portfolio performance - no more waiting until the end of the year to see how we did! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Stessa makes it easy to look at the performance of my real estate portfolio.No more manual math in Excel for me! #### Cons Nada. They continue to update and improve the functionality! #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Mint is not intended for real estate and was always clunky and lacked much-needed features for a real estate investor. --- ### Amazing App For New Real Estate Investors - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Todd D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This has really helped me start organized as I start up our real estate investing portfolio. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the ease of use and ability to connect to my business checking account as well as my business credit card. #### Cons Inability to do split transactions and didn’t know how to pull reports until recently. #### Reasons for choosing Stessa It was real estate specific so way easier to categorize expenses and income. --- ### Love this site - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ritchie V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This site has really helped me manage my rental properties much more easily and efficiently.... all of my accounting and info about interest rates/insurance/etc are all easily accessible in one spot. And their reports make it all easy to quickly review. Also great for doing my taxes. #### Cons Doesn't yet integrate with enough small banks, so I have to manually upload my transactions ever month via Excel. #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Stessa is way better for rental property management... exactly the sort of software I had been looking for --- ### Great real estate expense management on a budget - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Austin R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's been a great way to manage my finances while I juggle multiple properties. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it's free and the bank feed makes managing my expenses easy #### Cons I think that I should be able to create rules for automated coding of expenses. --- ### Great Mobile Management for all Real Estate - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Josh S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It’s the first platform I’ve used that I have been able to use as a one stop shop for everything for our portfolio. We can manage our vacancies and tenancies, as well as our finances. It’s been great. Thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the Stessa team! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This app is amazing. It’s the first platform that has allowed me to manage our entire portfolio directly from my phone if I want to. I can track all expenses and directly import from the bank, and assign to each property and even a specific unit. #### Cons I wish the transaction importing would occur in real time directly, versus having to log in and refresh the transactions. --- ### Stessa Changed My Life! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Vickie A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Allows me to spend far less time managing the accounting aspects of my business. I am a small business owner with a full life and Stessa has allowed me to have a more enjoyable work/life balance. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Stessa is an easy to use, online real estate management software that is reliable, easy to learn, easy to use and almost fun. It had changed the way I look at accounting (a pain in the past), and I almost look forward to opening Stessa! #### Cons I wish I could force the software to "name" certain vendors the way I like when their info is automatically imported. It's a bit of a pain to have to go in and constantly update them from their "DBA" name to the name that I recognize in my daily business. Not a deal breaker, just a suggestion! #### Reasons for switching to Stessa My former software had a hard learning curve and I never really enjoyed it. After reading all the great reviews about Stessa, I took the plunge and was up and running in no time. Never looked back! --- ### Stessa; A must-have app! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Pedro C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We love Stessa. When we started we relied on multiple and confusion Spreadsheets. Stessa has simplified our lives and freed us up to focus on scaling our business. Don’t miss the endless hours working on spreadsheets. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease and comprehensive system to track transactions and the pain-free preparation for each year’s taxes. #### Cons Still adjusting to duplication of entries. --- ### Great Product - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Benjamin D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I purchased a group of 8 properties as my first investment deal. One loan, one insurance bill, multiple taxes in escrow complicated the property setup and accounting. This was easy to address with the software and when I asked for help on the "help me" message board, I got a complete, useful answer the next day. A few more questions and support called me "to chat" and were happy to do a WebEx type session to see what I was doing and offered tools and techniques that were very helpful. It was not long that I was doing all of the imports, and reporting on my own and felt confident that I was doing it right (or at least not wrong). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There is nothing to install as it is in the cloud. Setup the first few properties was a easy and quick. Back filling data was relatively easy and they could pull data from my bank even with two factor authentication, and could get the data from my property managers software which is little more than a zip file with receipts and PDF owner report. #### Cons I found that I have some duplicate items from different data sources that I set aside in a "For Audit" bucket (like a company entity). So while this gets ignored by the real company buckets it is included in the 'all companies reports". #### Reasons for choosing Stessa It was easy to add data and update. Mistakes were easy to 'correct' and I had confidence that I could recover from doing something stupid reasonably easily. I got from data entry to actionable intelligence in two sessions. (total of about 6 hours). I had sketched out the 'perfect software' and all of the key features were included 'right out of the box', or cloud as it were. --- ### Perfect for Investors just getting started - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Janea B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I just bought my second property. I’ve been tracking transactions on my first property for about a year and half now with Stessa. I’m in the process of setting up my second investment property now. It’s super easy for a beginner. The last thing I need to be worrying about is how to navigate accounting software. I need one place to store and track all the transactions on my real estate property. I know I can access them anytime and run a quick report for my accountant at the end of the year. It’s su0per easy to use this platform as a way to analyze whether or not a property is profitable by running a quick report. Looking forward to growing with Stessa as I add more properties to my portfolio! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is super easy to use and set up. The software walks you through property set up one question at a time. You don’t have to know a lot about accounting or accounting software, but it is evident the software is setting up a structure for you to monitor and track the transactions of your real estate investment(s) and be able to pull financial reports at the end of the year for your accountant. I use it once a month. It takes me less than 5 minutes to enter the transactions and I’m done! #### Cons There are no options for assigning HOA fees in the “money going out” category. I lump them under the Management fees section. It would be nice to be able to categorize HOA fees in their own world. --- ### Why do everything twices - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Aaron H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered None.....I think it needs to be redesigned. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I like the interface, very easy to use. The reporting is nice. #### Cons It lacks so many features that you need as a property manager. You have to connect it to bank and credit card accounts to get it to work. So if you have petty cash accounts or anytime up manual transactions that are paid from specific accounts it won't work. Its transaction base which is fine, and you can associate a transaction with a property but you can't associate a transaction with an account, so there is no way to filter by account. If you manually add a transaction you can't associate it with an account. You can't create reoccurring bills or income. You need to have the ability to track different types of accounts and you just can't do that. It lacks a lot of functionality that I think any real estate investor or property manager would need. I think that's from a small investor to a large property manager. You pay for what you get unfortunately and I don't see any value in doing everything twice. Just not worth the time. #### Reasons for switching to Stessa I had heard good things about it --- ### Game Changer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zachary M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Loving it! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is easy to set up and use. Very user friendly. #### Cons Issues with data sources disconnecting. #### Reasons for choosing Stessa Endorsed by Bigger Pockets and bought by JLL so seemed credible. Free for small owner like myself. Tailored for real estate investors, by real estate investors! #### Reasons for switching to Stessa I found quickbooks to be cumbersome. --- ### Best Real Estate tax prep program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mark M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The total package has made my life much simpler. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros After years of struggling to keep my RE tax prep files in order, STESSA did in just a few months that other programs could not do in 10 years! It’s the complete package without the complexities!! Mark #### Cons No issues..each feature especially the tax prep package is invaluable! #### Reasons for switching to Stessa Quicken was extremely difficult to learn & took too much of my time. --- ### Great for finding a tenant then you try to collect rent - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros The rental application process is simple #### Cons Rent collection. They fail to tell you to use it you have to use THEIR checking account. So you jump through hoops to set up a checking account you dont want. Then you try to get the money out of the account you didnt want in the first place and its a nightmare. And every problem is not their problem its your problem or your banks problem. Customer service is non existant. I wish I hadnt already asked my tenant to pay through them. --- ### Simple to Jump Straight Into! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lauren S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospitality - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's been a stress relief to be able to handle my expense tracking on the go - confidently! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I could easily import my Excel spreadsheet of past transactions. Their instructions on the proper formatting for converting it to csv were easy to follow and I was both impressed and happy that months of transactions were imported seamlessly and in minutes. Their customer service is also responsive - which is a huge win! #### Cons Would be nice to have the option to show the notes about a transaction in the main "feed." --- ### Property Management Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: William P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Holistic view of the property valuation and cash flow. Tracking expenses and providing required profit and loss for accounting. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Quick and ease setup. Interface is designed for property managers - provides accounting and bookkeeping using the terms familiar to property managers and owners. Easy to track the expenses and capture everything for expense allocation and audits. #### Cons A few additional features requested: - historical view of the property instead of just point in time - enable leveraging for audits if needed - enable capturing receipt before the transaction comes through the CC to Stessa - store the image until matching available - integration w/ OWA from RentManager --- ### Essential tool for real estate investors - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rick Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how Stessa connects to my property management company, and to my banks. It's great to see my portfolio snapshot. The tax package is also very useful and saves me a lot of time during the tax return prep. #### Cons Nothing really I dislike. But it would be useful to have a functionality that allows to split the multi-family units into their own units for reporting purposes. Admitted, it's my fault to have started with one property for a multi-unit one. --- ### Best rental management program I’ve found - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gwynne W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. I have looked for over 10 years for a program that would work for my husband and I to manage our own rental properties. We now own 15 long term and short term rentals and as much as I wanted to replace our customized excel spreadsheet, it still worked best for our needs after trying other programs specifically for investment properties or general accounting. I always gave up because it just didn’t quite work well enough. Stessa has been the only program that I have found that is easy, seamless and still tailored to every property we own. I can finally get rid of the old spreadsheet. I can’t wait for tax season next year where I have a full year of management with Stessa. It has made attaching receipts, invoices and cash flow so easy. I am so thankful and excited to have stumbled across this program. It works. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ease of use, categories, seamless and it just works effortlessly #### Cons At the moment any slight potential tweak I find it seems the staff quickly tries to resolve and fix so that it works even better --- ### Must have for landlords - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jason F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Would definitely recommend. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Makes the process of tracking expenses very simple. Pulls data very easily from linked accounts. #### Cons I feel that they cash management portion will improve. The feedback from customer support said they are working on adding the features I suggested they add. #### Reasons for switching to Stessa This app better suited my needs. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/property/stessa-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Stessa Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
