Fixflo alternative for landlords

Most repair reporting software is sold per property, per year, to organisations that manage property for other people. That maths works for an agency with 800 units and a full maintenance team. It rarely works for a landlord with four flats and a plumber they half-trust.

The other gap is supply. Reporting software gives you a tidy inbox of problems — it does not give you someone to fix them. You still ring round, still chase quotes, still wonder whether the price is fair.

Fixflo details are summarised from their publicly published positioning and are not an exhaustive feature list. Check directly with them for current pricing and features.

Your tenant reports the problem with photos, at whatever hour it happens. It is triaged for urgency and category, so an active leak is flagged as an emergency while a dripping tap waits for the morning. Vetted local trades quote. You approve one in a tap and pay into escrow. The trade completes, the tenant confirms, and the money moves. Everything is logged against the property.

If the job turns out bigger than the quote — a plumber opens a wall and finds a second problem — the tradesperson raises a variation with photos and you approve the extra separately. No cash renegotiation on the doorstep.

We would rather be honest than win the wrong customer. If you run an agency, need integrations with agency software, want to funnel work to an existing contractor panel, and have volume to justify a per-property licence, an enterprise repair platform is built for that shape of business. Mainto is not trying to be it.

If you are a landlord who wants the repair handled without becoming a maintenance manager, that is what Mainto is for. See also the feature-by-feature Fixflo vs Mainto breakdown.
