Users highlight its ease of use and time-saving dashboards for tracking income, expenses, and leases. While praised for mobile access and automated reporting, bank feed issues and limited customization are recurring drawbacks. New features such as maintenance tracking and eSigning enhance its appeal. ### Our verdict Stessa offers a practical solution for landlords and small firms seeking streamlined financial oversight across rental portfolios. Its intuitive design and automated reporting reduce manual work, but users should expect limitations in bank syncing and customization. While support responsiveness is inconsistent, the tool remains a worthwhile pick for those prioritizing simplicity over granular control.

It is affordable, easy to learn/navigate and is helpful prepping for tax time. Pros I am able to track financials for multiple types of properties in one place and print reports for my accountant.

Owner Real Estate ### "Not Friendly for Self-Managed Short-Term Rentals " 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 3, 2026 I have used QuickBooks Online my entire life and wanted to try something different for managing our single short-term rental property. Unfortunately, the software was not intuitive and became confusing, especially when it came to allocations. There is no clear way to track personal funds invested as a loan to the company, which is a major drawback. I contacted customer support and only received links to articles and videos, which did not address my specific situation. 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. Also, do not pay annually—the subscription refund policy is terrible, and you will not receive a prorated refund. Pros I was hoping it would be user-friendly for my one self-managed short-term rental property, but it did not meet my expectations. Cons Horrible customer support—even with a Pro subscription. No refunds on subscriptions. Not user-friendly for a single short-term rental property. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

I utilize it for my accounting and my CPA loves the spreadsheet style reports that I generate for him at year end Pros I love that you can connect your bank account and credit card(s) to Stessa which makes accounting so much easier when you manage multiple properties. Cons That they do not offer more property management tools for investors such as e-payments, a tenant portal, abilities for tenants to communicate via the app Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reasons for choosing Stessa Ease of use, practicality, and price for the product.

It’s easy to use and even has reports that are highly customizable. Pros It’s specific for landlords so I don’t have to manipulate it to fit the standard needs of a landlord to track money that comes in and out. Cons I would like to see the ability to separate an expense among several properties from the app on my phone. Currently you have to access it by logging in from a computer. Switched from [QuickBooks Online Advanced](https://www.capterra.com/p/189398/QuickBooks-Online/) Quickbooks is complicated and expensive.

Pros Intuitive and easy to use. Scanning receipts is a great option on the mobile app. 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. Cons The length of time it takes for Stessa to analyze a scanned receipt. Honestly, it isn't that slow considering the data it analyzes... it's more of an indication about my lack of patience.

It's well designed, I never had any problems, it was easy to transfer the balance to my bank account. Pros It is well designed and works well. I like the high interest that they paid on the balance that they hold (Pro version) Cons After using the software for a year, I was informed that they could not pay the high interest rates on properties owned by a trust.

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. 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.” Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

It's user-friendly and allows me to easily categorize expenses. I actually really appreciate the simplicity of the app, sometimes using apps with robust features makes everyday use overwhelming. And obviously this app makes tax season easier. Cons Sometimes I feel like the preset categories for expenses are not as comprehensive as I need them to be.
