Get Started FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Did Centriq shut down?
Yes. Centriq shut down its consumer home management product in January 2025. The app is no longer available for download on the App Store or Google Play, and existing users cannot access their data. The company pivoted away from the consumer market.
What is the best Centriq replacement app?
HomeBeacon is the closest replacement for Centriq's maintenance scheduling features. It offers seasonal task reminders, equipment tracking, and a maintenance history log — the features most Centriq users relied on. HomeBeacon also offers a free plan, whereas Centriq charged ~$49/year.
Can I get my data out of Centriq?
Unfortunately, with Centriq's discontinuation, data export options may be limited. We recommend setting up HomeBeacon fresh — it only takes a few minutes to enter your home details and generate a personalized maintenance schedule.
Is HomeBeacon better than Centriq was?
HomeBeacon focuses on what most Centriq users cared about most: maintenance scheduling and reminders. While Centriq was strong on product manuals and warranty tracking, HomeBeacon offers more sophisticated maintenance personalization — adjusting tasks based on your home type, age, climate zone, and local seasons.
What happened to Centriq's product manuals feature?
Centriq's product manual library was one of its most-loved features. HomeBeacon doesn't replicate this directly, but equipment entries in HomeBeacon let you attach notes, dates, and warranty information. For product manuals, manufacturer websites and ManualsLib.com are free alternatives.
Is Centriq still working in 2026?
No. As of 2026, Centriq is fully shut down. The consumer app was discontinued in January 2025 and is no longer available on the App Store or Google Play. Existing accounts are inaccessible. Homeowners who relied on Centriq need a replacement — HomeBeacon is the most direct alternative for maintenance scheduling and reminders.
How much did Centriq cost?
Centriq charged approximately $49/year for its subscription before shutting down in January 2025. The subscription included product manual storage, warranty tracking, barcode scanning, and basic maintenance reminders. By comparison, HomeBeacon offers a free plan with no expiration and premium features from $4.99/month ($59.88/year) — covering everything most Centriq users relied on.
Was Centriq available on Android?
Yes, Centriq was available on both iOS and Android before it shut down in January 2025. Both apps are no longer available for download. HomeBeacon is available on iOS and Android as a direct replacement — you can download it from the App Store or Google Play.
What is the status of the Centriq app in 2026?
The Centriq app is completely shut down as of 2026. It was discontinued in January 2025 and is no longer available on the App Store, Google Play, or the web. Existing user accounts and data are inaccessible. If you are looking for a Centriq replacement, HomeBeacon is the closest active alternative for home maintenance scheduling and equipment tracking.
How does HomeBeacon compare to both Centriq and HomeZada?
Centriq focused on product manuals and barcode scanning but shut down in 2023. HomeZada is still active but charges $65–$100/year and is complex to use. HomeBeacon sits in the middle: actively maintained, free to start, and purpose-built for maintenance scheduling. It covers what most Centriq users actually used (task reminders, equipment tracking) without the complexity or cost of HomeZada.
Is HomeBeacon available on Android?
Yes. HomeBeacon is available on both iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play. The mobile app syncs with the web dashboard so your maintenance schedule is always up to date across all your devices.
What was Centriq pricing before it shut down?
Centriq charged approximately $49/year for its subscription. After the shutdown, that subscription provides no value since the service is no longer operational. HomeBeacon offers a free plan with no credit card required, and premium features from $4.99/month — significantly less than Centriq cost.
