Head to head
HomeZada helps homeowners run the whole house: inventory, maintenance, remodel projects and finances. Cratify is built around what you own: your possessions, your collections and the people you live with.
Free forever plan · iOS, Android & web · No credit card
The short version
Both apps help you record what you own, with photos. Here are three differences you'll notice.
Cratify Lifetime is $49.99 once and never renews. HomeZada's Essentials plan is free; Premium is $99 a year or $15.95 a month and Deluxe is $189 a year, as of October 2026.
HomeZada spans maintenance, remodel projects and home finances as well as inventory. Cratify puts everything into your possessions: who each one belongs to, which collection it's part of and where it's kept.
HomeZada organizes inventory by room and space. Cratify goes one step further: containers inside containers, so you can see which box on which shelf a possession is in.

Fair is fair
HomeZada does a lot that Cratify doesn't try to do. If these sound like you, it may be the better fit.
Both apps have a free plan, so you can try each one with a few of your own possessions before you decide.
New in Cratify · Handmarks · No labels to buy
Many home inventory apps rely on you buying their QR labels. With Handmarks, whatever is already on a container becomes the code you scan: a strip of tape with a name on it, marker on the cardboard, or a kid's drawing.
Adding Handmarks comes with Lifetime. Scanning a Handmark someone in your household added is free on every plan.
Rather have a code? Every possession and container also has its own QR code you can print on any printer, free on every plan.
Pricing
Your home isn't something you rent month to month, and knowing what's in it shouldn't come with a monthly bill.
Launch price
New accounts can try Lifetime free for 3 days first, with no card and no automatic charge.
