A great system. But does it work for you?

Inventory Hive is genuinely good. Strong reviews, a solid feature set, and a customer base that clearly values it. If you need an established, fully-featured platform, it's worth a look.

But if you're a landlord managing a handful of properties, an inventory clerk who only visits a property once, or a growing agency that wants a platform that flexes around your business, the pricing structure starts to work against you. You're paying per property, whether you create reports or not. Small landlords can't pay monthly. Clerks pay for properties they'll never visit again. And custom integrations aren't really part of the offer.

Wooma is built differently. Pay per report, go unlimited, or start completely free. No property limits. Custom integrations built for you. A price that makes sense for the work you actually do.

From the founder

Built around you. Not the other way around.

Inventory Hive is one of the better systems in this market. The reviews speak for themselves: a strong rating from hundreds of customers, a genuinely useful product, and a support team that people clearly rate. We're not going to pretend otherwise.

But there's a version of this market that Inventory Hive isn't really built for. The landlord with twenty or thirty properties who just wants a fair price and a simple monthly option. The inventory clerk who takes on a new client, visits a property once, creates a report and moves on, and shouldn't have to keep paying for that property indefinitely. The growing agency that wants a platform that bends around how they work, not a system they have to adapt themselves to.

The property-based pricing model is the core issue. It means your bill is tied to your portfolio size, not the work you actually do. If you're having a quiet month, you're still paying for every property on the list. If you add new clients, your costs jump to the next band. And if you're an inventory clerk working across multiple client accounts, tracking what you're paying for becomes its own job.

Wooma charges for the reports you create. Start free. Pay per report. Or move to a genuinely unlimited plan when the volume is there. Custom integrations, your branding from day one, and a team that will build around your specific workflows. No add-ons, no tiers, no surprises.

If you want to see what switching looks like, or just want to understand how it compares for your specific setup, get in touch. We'll work it out together.

FAQ

Common questions about switching from Inventory Hive to Wooma.

Wooma is the leading Inventory Hive alternative for letting agents, inventory clerks and landlords in the UK. Wooma offers a genuinely free plan, flexible pay-per-report pricing, a fully unlimited plan with no property limits, and a hands-on team that builds custom integrations to fit your exact workflow, at no extra charge.

The core reason is pricing structure. Inventory Hive charges per property, whether you create reports or not. That means landlords with a handful of properties pay upfront for the year, inventory clerks pay for properties they may only visit once, and growing agencies see costs jump each time they add clients. Wooma charges per report you actually create, or offers a genuinely unlimited plan. No property counts, no annual commitments for smaller portfolios, no wasted spend.

Yes. Wooma includes 5 free inventory reports every month with no credit card required and no time limit on the free plan. Inventory Hive has no free plan, only a 30-day trial. If you need more than 5 reports per month, you can top up from £1.50 per report, with no subscription required. For higher volumes, Wooma offers genuinely unlimited plans with no property caps. You only ever pay for what you use.

Inventory Hive charges per property on annual or monthly tiers. Monthly billing is only available from 50 properties upward. For 25 properties, landlords have no choice but to pay £250 upfront for the year. Wooma offers a free plan, pay-per-report credits, and a genuinely unlimited plan. For 500 properties, Inventory Hive costs £75/month or £750/year. Wooma will beat that price on our unlimited plan.

No. Inventory Hive charges based on the number of properties on your account, regardless of how many reports you create. Wooma charges per report you actually create, which means you only pay when you do the work. That makes it significantly better value for inventory clerks and smaller portfolios.

Yes, particularly for smaller portfolios. Inventory Hive requires annual billing for landlords with under 50 properties: 25 properties costs £250 upfront with no monthly option. On Wooma, a landlord managing 25 properties would likely fall entirely within our free plan. No upfront cost, no annual commitment.

Inventory Hive charges per property on the account, even if you only visit that property once and never return. For inventory clerks who take on new clients, create one report, and move on, the per-property model means paying for that property indefinitely. Wooma charges per report, so you only pay when you actually create one, no matter how many properties are on your account.

Yes. White label reports are included on every Wooma plan from day one: your branding on every report, no Wooma watermarks, ever. Inventory Hive does not clearly document white label as a standard inclusion across all plans.

Yes. Wooma will build the integration you need at no extra cost. Inventory Hive offers an open API for developers, but does not provide a custom build service, meaning any integration work would require your own development resources. Wooma connects with Reapit, Fixflo, Alto, SME Professional and more, and if yours is not on the list, we will build it.

Yes. Wooma offers a fully managed, zero-cost migration service. Our data team handles the entire export and transfer from Inventory Hive: reports, templates and settings all move across securely, with nothing left behind. You keep working normally while we handle it in the background.

You can be creating reports in Wooma the same day you sign up. There is no lengthy onboarding process and no training required to get started. The Wooma team handles the data migration from Inventory Hive in the background, including your existing reports, templates and property details, so you can keep working without any disruption. Most agents and clerks are fully transitioned within a week, with zero data loss.

Yes. Wooma is built to be intuitive from day one. Most users are up and running within minutes, with no training required. Recent Inventory Hive app store reviews report login issues, app crashes, and difficulty getting started. Wooma is designed to be fast, reliable, and delightful to use on any device.

Wooma supports all standard UK property inventory report types: check-in reports, check-out reports, mid-tenancy inspections, and property condition reports. Every report type is available on every plan, including the free plan. Reports are generated as professional PDFs with your branding, signature capture, photo evidence, and timestamped room-by-room condition entries. Inventory Hive offers similar report types but restricts certain features and branding options based on your tier.

Yes. Wooma inventory reports are designed to meet the evidential standards required by the UK deposit schemes: the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), mydeposits, and the Deposit Protection Service (DPS). Reports include timestamped photo evidence, condition gradings, and full room-by-room documentation, all of which are important when resolving deposit disputes.
