Under My Roof Alternatives for Android, Web, or Pay-Once

The best Under My Roof alternatives depend on why you are leaving. For Android or web access, look at Itemtopia or Manifest. For a one-time price, Home Contents costs $5.99 and the NAIC Home Inventory app is free. If you want items filled in from a room video, Manifest does that. Under My Roof is an iPhone, iPad, and Mac app, and its subscription is $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year.

I build Manifest, so my entry below comes with that bias, and I name what it cannot do. Under My Roof is a very good native Apple app, and for an all-Apple household it may be the right answer.

What does Under My Roof cost in 2026?

These prices are from the App Store listing, checked in October 2026:

The paid plans start with a one-week trial. The app syncs through iCloud with no separate account, and Family Sharing is supported. On iOS 27 with a device that supports Apple Intelligence, it can capture several items from one photo of a room.

The most common low-star complaint on its App Store page since 2025 is that people want a one-time price instead of a subscription. That is the first reason people leave. The second is that there is nothing for Android or the browser, and the third is that a single room photo needs recent hardware.

When should you stay on Under My Roof?

Stay if everyone in the house uses Apple devices. The app is an App Store Editors' Choice, it scans barcodes and documents, takes voice entry, and has a 3D room scan for measurements. It also covers coverage analysis, claims tracking, and estate planning, which most of the apps below do not try to do.

Stay if you like paying one company a modest yearly fee and not thinking about it again. $34.99 a year is cheaper than most of the paid options here.

Think about leaving if someone in your household is on Android, if you want to open the list on a work laptop that is not a Mac, if you will not pay a subscription, or if you would rather film a room than photograph it item by item.

Which Under My Roof alternatives are worth a look?

The list is not ranked. Manifest leads because it is the one I can speak to directly; the comparison table lower down treats everyone the same.

Manifest

Best for: filling in an inventory from a video instead of typing it.

You film a slow pan of a room, up to 90 seconds, and Manifest lists what it sees as cards for you to confirm. You can also photograph a single item and it fills in the name, brand, model, and serial number for you to check. Forward a receipt by email and it becomes an item with the receipt attached. The insurance export is a PDF with photos, serial numbers, receipts, and both replacement cost and actual cash value totals. It checks items against CPSC, NHTSA, and FDA recalls and prints QR box labels.

Price: 7-day full trial with no card. Vault is $1.99/month or $11.99/year, with about 15 AI actions a month shared across scans and value estimates. Unlimited is $39/year. The trial includes three video walkthroughs, and Vault allows three a month.

Platforms: iPhone, iPad, and web. On Android you install it from the browser. It is not on Google Play, so Android is not as well served as it is by Itemtopia or NAIC.

Where it falls short of Under My Roof: one person per account, with no shared editing and no Family Sharing. No multiple properties, no 3D room scan, no estate planning, and no Mac app, only the web.

Itemtopia

Best for: a mixed household with iPhones, Android phones, and a Mac.

Itemtopia runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and the web, and you can add family members as extra users. It has custom fields and warranty tracking. The app is free to try with up to 20 items.

Price: Premium is $7.99/month or $79.99/year.

Tradeoff: it costs more than twice what Under My Roof does per year, and set-up takes a while. PDF and CSV exports come with Premium.

Home Contents

Best for: paying once and being done.

Home Contents has been on the App Store since 2011. You photograph items, scan barcodes, attach PDF receipts, and print reports by room, category, or value. Data stays on your device and syncs through iCloud.

Price: $5.99 one-time unlock. It is free for up to 25 items and one property.

Platforms: iPhone and iPad (iOS 26 or later).

Tradeoff: Apple only, like Under My Roof, so it fixes the price complaint and not the Android one.

NAIC Home Inventory

Best for: anyone who wants free and does not mind typing.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners publishes this app for listing your belongings. It runs on iOS and Android.

Price: Free, with no in-app purchases.

Tradeoff: it is basic. Every item is entered by hand, there is no receipt handling or value estimate, and recent App Store reviews report crashes, so export your list often.

HomeZada

Best for: homeowners who want the inventory inside a larger home-management tool.

HomeZada pairs the list with maintenance schedules, remodel budgets, and home value tracking.

Price: Essentials is free. Premium is $99/year or $15.95/month, and Deluxe is $189/year (pricing page, October 2026).

Tradeoff: it is a much bigger product than an inventory, with a price to match.

Quick comparison

Prices were checked against each app's pricing page or App Store listing in October 2026. They change, so confirm before you pay. The home inventory app tracker keeps every app's price and platforms in one table, the home inventory app comparison has longer write-ups, and the iPhone app comparison goes deeper on the Apple-only options.

How do you move your Under My Roof inventory to another app?

Binary Formations' support FAQ describes the CSV export and where it lives in the app. I could not find a PDF or report export described on that page, so check the app itself for that.

1. Export from Under My Roof. Open the Options panel from the menu at the top left, choose Export, then Export Items to CSV. Select all available fields in the list before you save.
2. Import the CSV. In Manifest, CSV import reads the file, matches column headers to its own fields, and shows a preview before saving anything. Name is the only required column. Trial accounts can import 250 rows at a time; paid accounts 500.
3. Bring the photos and receipts back. The FAQ says the CSV does not carry photos and receipts, which Under My Roof handles by drag and drop. Expect to re-add them yourself, starting with electronics, jewelry, and anything with a serial number.
4. Keep the old copy. Do not delete Under My Roof until the new app shows everything. The free tier holds 10 items, so check which plan you are on before you cancel.
