HomeRunbook doesn't just list your equipment — it maps how everything connects. See which breaker feeds which outlets, follow plumbing paths, and trace HVAC zones visually.
Our AI assistant references your specific equipment, knows where components are located, understands system connections, and gives troubleshooting steps tailored to your exact setup.
Point your camera at any equipment label and AI reads the make, model, serial number, and specs automatically. Build your home inventory in minutes, not hours.
Import DXF floor plans and overlay your system topology on actual building drawings. See where every pipe, wire, and duct runs in the context of your home's physical layout.
Share your home's digital twin with family, contractors, or property managers. Multiple users can view and edit simultaneously with role-based permissions.
HomeRunbook automatically flags potential safety concerns like outdated wiring, missing GFCI protection, and aging equipment — issues a simple inventory can never catch.
HomeZada focuses on home inventory, finances, and maintenance reminders as a flat list. HomeRunbook builds a topology-aware digital twin that maps how every system in your home connects — electrical circuits, plumbing paths, HVAC zones, and more — so you can trace problems and understand dependencies.
No. HomeZada provides home inventory management with photos and documents, but does not map system connections or show how components relate to each other. HomeRunbook's visual topology maps let you trace circuits, follow pipes, and see cross-system dependencies.
Yes. You can export your home inventory data from HomeZada and re-enter it into HomeRunbook. Our Visual Add feature makes this fast — just photograph your equipment labels and AI extracts the details automatically.
HomeRunbook offers a free Explorer plan with topology mapping for one property. Paid plans start at $29.95/month (or $20.75/month billed annually). HomeZada offers plans starting around $5/month for basic features. HomeRunbook costs more but provides topology mapping, AI troubleshooting, and digital twin capabilities that HomeZada does not offer.
