Atfee is the simplest way to track your utility bills — whether you're managing one home or multiple properties. Add bills when they arrive, mark them as paid, and always know what's outstanding. Atfee keeps everything organized by location and company, so your financial overview is always one tap away. TRACK BILLS EFFORTLESSLY Log bills manually or import them instantly using UPN QR code scanning, UPP BiH QR scanning or eSLOG XML files. Due dates and payment details are filled in for you. Atfee even warns you if a bill looks like a duplicate, so your totals stay accurate. MULTIPLE LOCATIONS Manage utility bills across multiple addresses — your home, a rental property, or a business — all from one app. MONTHLY PERIODS See your bills grouped by month: the total, what's paid and what's still outstanding. Compare each bill with the previous period, mark bills as paid with a swipe, and get a summary when all of a month's bills are in. Your home screen always shows where you stand this month. SMART HISTORY & GRAPHS Compare your months with a yearly bar chart and follow any company's bills over time with a trend chart. See your 6-month, 1-year or 2-year history, spot rising costs early and make smarter decisions about your usage. NEVER MISS A BILL Every bill shows when it's due and whether it's overdue. Atfee reminds you before the due date, on the day, and the day after if it's still unpaid. Choose how early you want to be reminded: 1, 3 or 7 days. Bills due on the same day arrive as one notification. FREE TO START The Starter plan is free forever, including due dates, reminders and Periods. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited locations, PDF uploads, smart cards, forecasts, the yearly bar chart and company trend charts. Try out with 2 months of free Atfee Pro. Atfee is built for anyone who wants a clean, no-nonsense overview of their monthly utility expenses.
