Kodi vs Bomahut: Which Should You Choose?

If you're comparing property management software in Kenya, Bomahut is a name that comes up often — it's a solid, established rent-collection and tenant-management platform. Here's a fair, feature-by-feature look at how it compares to Kodi, so you can pick the one that actually covers what your property needs.

What Bomahut Offers

Bomahut is a rent-collection and tenant-management platform aimed at landlords and property managers running 5–200+ units. Based on its own published feature list, it covers:

  • Automated rent collection, reminders, and reconciliation
  • M-Pesa and bank payment integration (Equity, KCB, Co-operative)
  • Digitized tenant records and account balances
  • SMS invoicing and receipts, WhatsApp notifications
  • Tenant, property, and landlord statements/reporting
  • Meter-based utility billing
  • Tiered pricing by unit count, from roughly KSh 2,500/month

For a landlord whose only need is collecting rent and tracking tenants, that's a genuinely capable toolset.

What Kodi Adds

Kodi covers the same rent-and-tenant ground, plus two areas Bomahut's own site doesn't mention at all: visitor management and security/patrol tracking. If your property has a gate, guards, or regular visitor traffic — not just tenants and rent — that gap matters.

Visitor Management

A digital visitor log with OTP-verified, tenant-approved check-ins — see our visitor management software page.

Guard Patrol & Security

GPS-tagged checkpoint scans, missed-patrol alerts, and incident reporting — see our security & patrol management page.

M-Pesa Rent Collection

Direct M-Pesa integration with automated reminders and reconciliation — the same core capability Bomahut offers, built in from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing depends on your unit count and which features you need. See Kodi's current plans on the pricing page and compare directly against your own portfolio size.

Yes — get in touch and the team can walk you through moving your properties, units, and tenant records over.

No — if rent collection is genuinely your only need, either platform can work. Visitor and security management matter once your property also has a gate, guards, or regular visitor traffic to manage.
