General information
What Cazmate is, what it's for and who it's for.
Why use Cazmate?
Cazmate makes running your family home or holiday home simpler by bringing everything together in one place: bookings, expenses, tasks, notes, inventory. No more lost messages, complicated spreadsheets or family misunderstandings. Whether your house is held in joint ownership, through a family property company (SCI) or with no legal structure at all, Cazmate keeps things transparent for everyone.
How does it work?
Cazmate is a web and mobile app (iOS and Android) that brings the running of your shared house into one place. It only takes three steps:
- 1.Create your account and add your house
- 2.Invite your loved ones (family, friends, co-owners)
- 3.Organise everything together: bookings, expenses, tasks, inventory
All information is synced in real time between members.
Who is Cazmate for?
Cazmate is for you if you share a house with other people:
- •Families with a holiday home or family home
- •Co-owners in joint ownership or a family property company (SCI)
- •Groups of friends sharing a property
- •Heirs looking after a family estate
Whatever your legal situation, Cazmate adapts to the way you organise things.
Is Cazmate a rental platform?
No. Cazmate isn't a rental platform like Airbnb. Cazmate is a management tool for houses shared between people who know each other: family, friends, or co-owners in joint ownership. You organise your stays, split the costs and look after the upkeep between yourselves. No transactions with third parties.
How is it different from a WhatsApp group?
WhatsApp is handy for chatting, but information gets lost in it. There's no way to see who's coming when, keep track of expenses or find the plumber's number six months later. Cazmate keeps everything organised:
- •A shared calendar with stay approval
- •Shared expense tracking
- •Notes and contacts that are always at hand
- •A memory of the house that no longer depends on a message thread
Can I use Cazmate without installing the app?
Yes. Cazmate works directly in your browser on a computer. On mobile, you can also use the browser or download the iOS app (App Store) or Android app (Google Play). Everything syncs automatically across all your devices.
How many houses can I manage?
As many as you like. Your first house is free for life. Each additional house needs its own subscription, at €89/year.
Does every member have to pay?
No. The subscription is tied to the house, not to people. All invited members get free access to the house's features. Any member of the house, guests included, can take out the subscription: it covers the whole house.
Does Cazmate work everywhere?
Yes, anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection. Cazmate is available in French and English.
