Frequently asked questions

Is Emalino good for homeowners?

Yes. Emalino was built for homeowners: track maintenance history, store property photos, keep warranties and documents, and coordinate contractors, all in one place.

Can contractors use Emalino?

Absolutely. Contractors manage jobs, track progress with photos, message owners in context, log hours, and invoice from the same place the work happens.

Is Emalino really free?

Yes. The free plan is free forever and includes every feature: unlimited properties, tasks, projects, photos, documents, asset tracking, messaging, recurring schedules, and invoicing for one workspace with 1 GB storage. It shows occasional sponsored placements once you cross the storage or messaging thresholds.

What does Professional cost?

Professional is €4.99 per month, or save 20% with annual billing, and comes with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. It removes all sponsored placements and adds unlimited workspaces, 50 GB storage, custom branding, and priority support.

Does Emalino replace WhatsApp for property communication?

Yes. Emalino's built-in messaging keeps every property conversation in context, attached to the right property, project, or task, instead of scattered across chat apps.

Can I manage multiple properties?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited properties, organised into workspaces. The free plan covers one workspace; Professional and Enterprise add unlimited workspaces.

Is Emalino available on mobile?

Yes. Native iOS and Android apps with the camera built in: manage properties, tasks, photos, and messaging on the go.

Does Emalino support recurring maintenance?

Yes. Set up a recurring schedule once for any maintenance task, such as HVAC servicing, gutter cleaning, or inspections, and Emalino creates the tasks automatically when they are due.

Where is my data stored?

On Google Cloud in the EU. You can export everything, including properties, tasks, files, and messages, as a ZIP at any time.

Ratings are editorially independent. No vendor pays for ranking or placement.

Each rating reflects documented feature coverage across four operational pillars, verified against vendor changelogs and public product documentation.
