Holigram and home inventory apps
A home inventory app is built to list what's in your house, often for insurance. Holigram keeps your home beside everything else in your life and answers questions across it. Here's how that compares with Sortly and HomeZada, two well-known inventory apps.
Is Holigram a home inventory app?
Partly. Holigram has ready-made collections for appliances, furniture, paint colors, filters, tools, jewelry and insurance policies, with reminders for warranties and replacements, and its assistant answers across them. Dedicated home inventory apps such as Sortly and HomeZada go further on barcode labels, inventory value reports and home maintenance plans.
How does Holigram compare with Sortly and HomeZada?
Holigram is broader, and the inventory apps are deeper on the house itself. The table sets Holigram beside the two, naming which one a fact belongs to. Their column comes from Sortly's and HomeZada's own pages, as of 10/22/2026; all three products change, so check anything that decides it for you.
| Holigram | Sortly and HomeZada | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Your home beside everything else you keep: films, wine, sizes, recipes | Sortly: inventory for businesses, with a home use. HomeZada: running a home, from inventory to maintenance, projects and finances |
| Setting it up | Ready-made collections with their fields set, such as an appliance's model, serial and warranty | Sortly: folders and custom fields you define, one custom field on its free plan |
| Photos of your things | On a paid plan | Sortly: high-resolution item photos |
| Labels and scanning | No labels or barcode scanning | Sortly prints barcode and QR labels and scans them with your phone |
| Reminders | On any entry, such as a filter change or a warranty, in your alerts, as phone notifications and in your calendar | Sortly: low-quantity alerts. HomeZada: maintenance schedules that prompt upkeep |
| Value | Prices and appraised values are fields you sort, filter and ask about; no report builder | Sortly totals your inventory's value in custom reports |
| Documents | Manuals, receipts and policies in a document collection with a file manager | HomeZada keeps your home's documents |
| Apps | Web, which installs to your home screen, and iPhone | Sortly: iPhone and Android |
| Free plan | Permanent: 15 collections and 100 documents, with no limit on entries | Sortly: 100 unique items and one user |

When is a home inventory app the better choice?
When the inventory is the job. If you're photographing every room for an insurance record, labeling boxes for a move, or want a maintenance calendar built for your house, Sortly and HomeZada are made for that and Holigram isn't. Holigram prints no labels and builds no claim report, and photos of your things are part of a paid plan.
When is Holigram the better choice?
When the house is one part of what you keep. Holigram holds the paint in every room, the filters and when they're due, your appliances' serial numbers, and also your wine, sizes and recipes. Then you can ask: "Which white was the kitchen?", or whether one battery fits every tool you own, and the answer comes from your own entries.
Reminders ride on any entry, so a furnace filter, a warranty or a policy renewal comes to you in your alerts, on your phone and in your own calendar. Everything starts private, and you decide what any outside assistant may read.
Can I move a home inventory into Holigram?
Yes, if the app exports a spreadsheet. Save it as CSV, rename its headers to match a Holigram collection's fields, such as Name, Brand, Model and Serial for Appliances, and import it. Columns that match fill their fields, and the rest are ignored.
One thing to fix in the spreadsheet first: photos don't come across in a file, so leave photo columns out, or those rows are skipped. How Holigram reads a CSV has the rest.
