Head-to-head comparison
YourHouseAssistant.com vs KIPU EMR
KIPU is a clinical EHR designed for licensed treatment centers. If you run a sober living home — not a clinical program — you're paying for tools you'll never use. Here's what the difference actually costs you.
KIPU is built for treatment centers. You run a sober living home.
KIPU EMR is a clinical electronic health record system designed for licensed residential treatment centers, detox facilities, and outpatient programs that bill insurance. It handles clinical documentation, treatment plans, medication management, and insurance billing — all of which are irrelevant to a sober living operator.
Sober living homes are structured residences, not clinical programs. You need curfew enforcement, chore rotation, resident accountability, and billing — not HIPAA-grade clinical charting or insurance billing workflows. KIPU's pricing reflects its clinical complexity: enterprise contracts typically run $500–$2,000+/month depending on census.
YourHouseAssistant.com was built from the ground up for sober living operators. Every feature — GPS curfew check-in, weekly chore rotation, UA test logging, resident portal, guarantor billing — maps directly to how a sober living home actually operates. Flat $39/month. No per-bed fees. No clinical overhead.

Curfew enforcement that runs itself
KIPU has no curfew enforcement feature — it's a clinical tool, not a house management tool. With YourHouseAssistant.com, residents check in via GPS from their phone every night. The system evaluates the check-in, logs a miss automatically if they don't check in on time, and escalates to conditional recovery status after three misses in 30 days. No house manager has to stay up until midnight.
Chore rotation without the spreadsheet
KIPU doesn't manage chores — that's not what it's for. YourHouseAssistant.com rotates chore assignments across all active residents every Monday, respects gender restrictions, tracks completion, and issues warnings automatically. Three missed chores escalates to a violation. The entire workflow runs without a house manager touching it.
Pricing built for sober living operators
KIPU is enterprise software priced for treatment centers with insurance revenue. Sober living operators report paying $500–$2,000+/month depending on census size. YourHouseAssistant.com is $39/month flat for one property, $79/month for up to three, and $149/month for unlimited. No per-bed fees. Costs don't increase as occupancy grows.
Built for structured residences, not clinical programs
If your facility is a licensed treatment center that bills insurance and requires clinical documentation, KIPU may be the right tool. If you run a sober living home — a structured residence where people live while maintaining their recovery — you need operational tools, not clinical ones. YourHouseAssistant.com is the only platform built specifically for that distinction.
