Centriq alternative · 2026

The best Centriq alternative, built for what comes next.

Centriq is gone — and if you spent years scanning appliance plates and saving warranties into it, that loss is real. Home Hub by BuildTrust AI is the modern replacement: everything Centriq did, plus the things it never got to ship.

$199/year, or included with Homeowner Pro ($49/mo)

We're sorry Centriq is gone.

Centriq was one of the first apps that took home appliance record-keeping seriously. A lot of homeowners spent real time with it — scanning the nameplate on the back of the dishwasher, filing manuals, setting up filter-change reminders. Losing that app meant losing a piece of how you run the house. That isn't nothing, and we want to acknowledge it before anything else.

The good news is the work you did wasn't wasted. The records you built — appliances, brands, model numbers, purchase dates — port cleanly into Home Hub. And Home Hub is built on the same idea Centriq started with: that your house deserves a real record, not a junk drawer of paperwork.

Three things Centriq never had

These are the gaps Home Hub was built to close — and the reason most former Centriq users don't go back even when an alternative comes along.

AI search across your whole home

Ask "when was the water heater installed?" or "what paint was used in the hallway?" and get the answer in seconds — pulled from every receipt, photo, and manual in your record.

Email auto-filing

Forward any warranty registration, contractor invoice, or service confirmation to your home's BuildTrust inbox. Home Hub parses it, files it against the right appliance or project, and you never open the app.

Property transfer at sale

When you sell, the whole record — warranties, manuals, contractors, maintenance log, renovations — transfers to the next owner with one click. Listing agents love it. Buyers pay more for it.

Centriq migration

Import your Centriq data in four steps

If you exported your Centriq library before shutdown — or have a spreadsheet of your appliances from any source — Home Hub will bring it in cleanly. Most users finish the whole migration in under fifteen minutes.

  1. 1
    Export from Centriq (or your spreadsheet)

    If you still have your Centriq export CSV, you're set. Otherwise, build a simple spreadsheet with columns for Brand, Model, Serial, Purchase Date, Category, and Notes.

  2. 2
    Upload your CSV to Home Hub

    In Home Hub, go to Settings → Import and drop in your CSV. We auto-detect Centriq's column names and let you remap anything custom.

  3. 3
    Review and confirm

    Preview the mapped records, fix any rows that need attention, and confirm. Home Hub creates a warranty entry for every row in seconds.

  4. 4
    Re-attach photos and manuals

    Bulk upload the photos and PDF manuals you saved from Centriq. Drag-and-drop attaches them to the right appliance by matching model number.

Lost your Centriq export?

Importing a Centriq library counts as a transferred vault — you get a 90-day free trial of Home Hub, no credit card required. After that, $199/year (or free with Homeowner Pro).

Your home record belongs to you.

We learned the lesson Centriq users learned the hard way. Home Hub lets you export every record, photo, and document any time. If you ever leave, you walk away with everything. That's not a feature — it's a promise.
