Which REPS Tracker

Built for people who log every day

Exceptional UI and UX, tested by thousands

REPSLog is rated 4.9 on the App Store from 184 ratings and 4.9 on Google Play, and more than 3,000 real estate investors log their hours with it. Every screen is designed for a host on the move: open the app, say what you did, done. The polish is not decoration, it is what keeps a log contemporaneous instead of reconstructed in April.

Easy to use

Say what you did and the entry fills itself. Regular tasks are one tap. Stays from your booking calendar arrive as suggested entries. Your spouse or cleaner logs in the same account without a manual. The log should be the easiest part of your day, and that is the standard every feature is held to.

High-end engineering

Native iOS and Android apps with a full web app and live sync between all three. A public API and an MCP connector for ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. Daily encrypted backups, continuous error monitoring, and improvements shipped every week. This is a product built to be relied on at audit time, not a side project.

Superb support

Real people answer, fast, and they are the same people who build the app. Reach us from inside the app or by email, browse the help center, and try everything free for 14 days before you pay a cent.

Where REPSLog stands out

It works everywhere you do

REPSLog runs on iPhone, Android and the web, and every entry syncs live between them. Log a repair from your phone at the property, then review the month on a laptop with your CPA. HourProof and REPStracker also run on iPhone, Android and the web.

AI logging that is ready on day one

Say or type what you did (“spent forty minutes with the plumber at the lake house”) and REPSLog fills in the property, duration, category and description. The AI is built into the app, so there is nothing to configure. HourProof lists AI logging on its Premium plan. REPStracker does not list AI or dictation features.

Booking calendars from more than twenty platforms

Connect Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Hospitable and more than twenty other booking sites and property management systems through their calendar links, or paste any iCal link. REPSLog turns each stay into a suggested log entry for turnover, guest communication and check-in work, so your STR hours are anchored to real reservations. HourProof imports booking calendars on its Premium plan. REPStracker does not list calendar sync.

Built for the STR loophole

Short-term rental hosts have their own test: 100 hours of material participation per property, and more than anyone else who works on it. REPSLog tracks each short-term rental against its own 100-hour goal, side by side, and logs your cleaner’s and co-host’s hours as participants so the comparison sits on the same screen. Connect the Airbnb or Vrbo calendar and every guest stay becomes a suggested entry for the turnover, so the log fills itself between check-outs. The export lists every entry with its property, so your CPA can total each rental.

Reports your CPA can use as they are

Export a CSV or a formatted, CPA-ready PDF report grouped by property and category, with your attachments referenced. Both are included in every REPSLog plan. HourProof includes PDF exports on Premium. REPStracker offers a data download.

Bring your whole team, free

Invite your spouse, cleaners, co-hosts or your CPA to the same account at no extra cost. Their hours are tracked separately, which is exactly what the “more than anyone else” test needs. HourProof supports spouse and participant collaboration on Premium. REPStracker records spouse and team hours in one account.

Search and suggestions that learn from your log

Smart Search finds anything in your log in plain language, including what is written inside your receipts and documents. Personalized suggestions surface the activities you usually log, so a routine turnover is one tap. Neither HourProof nor REPStracker lists search inside your documents or suggestions learned from your log.

Works where you already work

Log hours and check your progress from ChatGPT, Claude or Grok through the REPSLog MCP connector, or build your own integration on the public API. HourProof lists a ChatGPT and Claude connector on Premium. Neither competitor lists a public API.

No readiness score, on purpose

Some hour-tracking apps show an audit-readiness or credibility score, or have an AI write an audit narrative for you. REPSLog does neither, on purpose. No app can know how an IRS examiner will read your log, and a number that says you are ready can mislead you into believing you are. REPSLog records what you did, when, for how long and with what evidence, and leaves the judgment to you and your CPA.

Full privacy control, including AI

Every AI feature that reads your log or your files has its own switch in Settings, under AI and Privacy, and you can turn any of them off at any time. Your data is never used to train AI models. Next to those switches are the advertising opt-out and account deletion, and you can export everything you have logged whenever you like, on every plan including Free.

Pricing

REPSLog starts with a 14-day free trial of everything, no card needed. After that, Starter is $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year and Premium is $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, or you can stay on the Free plan.

Why hosts pick REPSLog

  • You self-manage short-term rentals: REPSLog. Booking calendar sync from Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Hospitable and 20+ other platforms means your stays become log entries instead of memories.

  • You log from your phone, your laptop and your Android tablet: REPSLog runs on iPhone, Android and the web, and every entry syncs live between them.

  • You want AI that just works: REPSLog’s AI autofill and live speech-to-text are built in: speak, and the entry fills in as you talk.
