The oven seal's part number. The exact paint on the hallway wall. The receipt for the water heater, and when it was last serviced. Keeply keeps all of it for the home you live in — and tells you the next job that actually needs doing, with the reason why. PARTS & PAINT Every appliance, system and fixture in the house, with its parts and part numbers and a link to where you bought them last time — the oven seal, the mower blades, the right filter. Paint colors, tiles and grout recorded per room, so the answer is with you at the hardware store instead of at home on a paint-can lid. THE NEXT RIGHT TASK Tell Keeply what the place is made of, what's outside and what you run, and it builds a maintenance schedule for that home and its seasons from a written pack of rules — safety first, then whatever matters most. The home screen shows one task at a time and says why it matters and how to do it in three steps. Every rule shows where it came from; there are no AI guesses. Finish a task and Keeply records the cost and notes, then schedules the next one. PAPERWORK THAT FINDS ITSELF Scan receipts, manuals and warranty cards. Keeply reads the words inside the scans, so "that oven receipt" takes five seconds, not a filing cabinet. Remodels and someday-projects each get a folder — ideas, links, quotes and costs — and you can hand anyone a single PDF when you're ready. More than one place? The house, the rental and the cabin each keep their own schedule, records and papers. Share a home with your partner or family and everyone sees the same schedule and the same records; household members join free. Everything lives on your devices and in your own iCloud. Nothing is sent to us, and you can export the lot at any time as plain files that open anywhere. Keeply is free for one home with ten things, ten documents and one project. Every safety task, every PDF pack and the full export are free, always. Keeply Plus is a one-time purchase that removes the limits and opens household sharing to your family. No recurring fees, ever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sotheby's at none against Keeply's 1. Keeply's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
