Running live in Karnataka · by Sutex

Stop splitting bills.
Meter every flat.
Collect on time.

Most societies divide one bulk bill equally and chase dues on WhatsApp. ApartMeter bills each flat for what it actually used — residents photo-read their own meters, and payments collect themselves online.

The problem

Equal splits aren't fair. Everyone knows it.

A family of two subsidises a family of six. The treasurer burns weekends on Excel. Dues live in WhatsApp threads nobody can audit.

The old way

  • One bulk bill ÷ number of flats — usage ignored
  • Treasurer reads every meter, types into Excel
  • Dues chased one by one on WhatsApp
  • Paper receipts, disputed readings, zero audit trail

With ApartMeter

  • Every flat pays for its own metered usage
  • Residents photo-read their own meter in 20 seconds
  • Bills go out with a pay link — UPI, no app needed
  • Photo proof + immutable statements — audit-ready
The ApartMeter month

A billing cycle that runs itself

No new hardware — your existing meters, a phone camera, and the maths done for you.

1

Residents self-read

Each resident snaps their meter in the app. On-device OCR reads the dial and flags anything suspicious.

Photo + OCR proof
2

Committee audits

The treasurer reviews only the flagged readings — usually two or three — not all of them.

Minutes, not weekends
3

Statements go out

Usage, maintenance and arrears on one bill, generated in a click and sent by WhatsApp/SMS.

One-click billing
4

Money arrives

Residents pay from a no-install UPI link. The dues board updates itself as payments land.

Why ApartMeter

Gate apps manage visitors. We manage the money.

MyGate-style apps stop at notices and gate passes. ApartMeter is built for the hard part — metered utilities, maintenance and collections — at a price a 15-flat society can say yes to.

Per-flat metering

Water, gas and maintenance on one bill — no ₹15,000 smart meters, your existing dials work.

Photo-proof readings

Every number is backed by a timestamped meter photo. "That's not my usage" arguments end here.

Collections built in

Pay-by-UPI links on every bill, automatic arrears, reminders for who hasn't paid — money lands in your society's account, never ours.

Audit-ready records

Statements are frozen once issued; corrections are tracked, never overwritten. AGM-proof books.

Works offline

Patchy network in the meter room? Readings capture offline and sync when you're back.

Made for Karnataka

Built tier-2 first by Sutex — simple enough for volunteer committees, priced for small societies.

FAQ

Committees usually ask…

Do we need to buy new meters?
No. ApartMeter works with the ordinary dial meters you already have — residents photograph them with their phone. If a flat has no meter, you can bill it on the fixed/minimum policy until one is fitted.
Where does the money go?
Directly to your society — residents pay to your society's own UPI ID or bank account. ApartMeter never holds or routes your money; we only record and reconcile it.
What about residents without smartphones?
Switch the society to "single reader" mode — one committee member or hired reader does the monthly walk with the app (it even works offline). Residents without the app still get their bill by WhatsApp/SMS with a pay link that opens in any browser.
We run everything on Excel today. How do we switch?
Start your society on the web panel in a minute, then bulk-import your flats and opening dues straight from your Excel. Your first cycle can run in parallel with your old sheet so the committee verifies every number before trusting it.
How is this different from MyGate or NoBrokerHood?
Those are security/community apps — visitors, gate passes, notices. ApartMeter is a billing system: per-flat metered utilities, maintenance, arrears and collections, with photo-proof readings. Smaller societies also find us dramatically cheaper.

Give your society fair bills from next month.

A 15-minute WhatsApp chat is enough to see if ApartMeter fits your society.
