Stessa - Software Review

Hi everyone!
Does anyone here using Stessa and can share some thoughts? 
Thinking about joining it

[William J Anderson]

Hello Ron,

We’re a small operation, but happy to share our experience—just don’t want to offend if you’re running on a larger scale. We used our BiggerPockets Pro membership to gain access to both RentRedi and Stessa, and we've been using them side by side.

We started with RentRedi and have been really satisfied with the tenant interface—especially for rent collection, maintenance tracking, and tenant applications. Most of our tenants were initially a bit hesitant with technology, but they caught on pretty quickly and have been using it without major issues.

We use Stessa mainly for its reporting, bookkeeping, and reconciliation tools. One of the features we really appreciate is how it connects directly to our mortgage accounts, banks, and credit cards—pulling everything into one space for easier tracking and management. We used to rely on a paid app called Dext to manage receipts, but that was before we had access to Stessa.

We haven’t tried out Stessa’s leasing or tenant application features yet, though we’ve seen that functionality is there. For now, RentRedi has handled that part of our workflow. However, we are considering moving to the paid version of Stessa later this year when our Dext subscription ends—we’d likely just transition everything over to streamline things further.

In a perfect world, we’d love to see the best of both platforms merged into one app. That would be ideal for a small business like ours, but honestly, even as separate tools, they complement each other well and give us room to grow.

Hope that helps!
