The apps in detail
Membly Boende
Best for: boards that want fault reporting, documents and communication with no lock-in
Price: 299–799 SEK/mo · Web, iOS, Android (PWA)
Membly Boende brings fault reporting, documents, events, a noticeboard and announcements with read confirmation together for BRFs and community associations — in the same app choirs and clubs use. The board gets a room of its own, only the board needs an account, and the annual plan can be paid by invoice. Priced by apartment count, no lock-in on the monthly plan, built in the EU.
Pros
Fault reporting with a reply loop — the property manager's email reply lands on the case
Read confirmation on important announcements — the board sees who has read and can remind the rest
A register where only the board needs an account, with custom fields such as the apartment number
A clear price set by apartment count, no lock-in
GDPR-secure, built in the EU, no ads
Cons
No booking (e.g. laundry room)
No hardware integration (locks, alarms)

Already have a property manager: check whether a resident portal is already included.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best resident app for a BRF?
Boappa is the market leader and Eliot Alpha a strong challenger — both have fault reporting and booking. BRF Samlat and Egrannar are the cheapest, and Riksbyggen Mitt Boende suits existing management customers. Membly Boende has fault reporting, read confirmation on announcements everyone must have seen, and brings communication, documents and board work together — priced by apartment count and with no lock-in.
How much does a resident app cost?
Per month (approx.): Egrannar from 99 SEK, BRF Samlat ≈100 SEK, Eliot Alpha from 219 SEK, Riksbyggen Mitt Boende ≈225 SEK, Membly Boende 299–799 SEK and Boappa ≈325–1,160 SEK — the last two by apartment count. A Facebook group is free.
Do all apps have fault reporting and booking?
No. Boappa and BRF Samlat have both fault reporting and booking built in, Eliot Alpha in its higher tiers. Membly Boende has fault reporting — the resident files it, the property manager just replies to the email, and the reply lands on the case — but no booking.
Which apps work for community associations (samfälligheter)?
Boappa and Egrannar work for both BRFs and community associations, and Egrannar also covers villa associations. Membly Boende suits community associations that mainly want communication, documents and AGMs in one place. For shares (andelstal), billing and Lantmäteriet integration there are also dedicated community-association tools.
Can the board see who has read an important message?
In Membly Boende: yes. The board sends an announcement and requires a read confirmation; every resident with an account taps "I have read this" in the app, and the board sees who has confirmed and can send a reminder to the rest. In a Facebook group you only see who has seen the post.
