Encircle Alternative for Home Inventory

Encircle shut down its free consumer home inventory app in December 2025 and went all-in on restoration professionals. If you built your inventory there, here's where to land, and how to bring your data with you.

What happened to Encircle's home inventory app?

Encircle discontinued its free consumer Home Inventory product on December 17, 2025. The company now builds claims-documentation software for restoration contractors and insurance pros, with pricing to match (hundreds of dollars a month). That left a lot of households with a carefully built inventory and no consumer product to hold it.

The good news: the work you did still counts. If you have (or can request) an export of your Encircle data, you can rebuild in minutes instead of re-photographing your whole house.

How to move your inventory in 3 steps

  1. Get your data out. If you saved an Encircle export (spreadsheet or report), you're set. If you didn't, contact Encircle support and ask for an export of your inventory data, then save or convert it as a .csv file.
  2. Import it. In StowFindSell, go to All Items and click Import CSV. Column names are matched flexibly, so typical export headers (item, room, value, description) map automatically, and any locations in your file are created for you.
  3. Let AI upgrade it. Your imported items arrive instantly. Add photos whenever you like, and AI Vision fills in categories, descriptions, and current value estimates from the pictures.

What you gain in the move

Encircle's consumer app was built for one job: documenting belongings for insurance. StowFindSell is an AI home inventory app that covers that same job (photos, values, and claim-ready Proof Pack exports) and then keeps going: AI names and prices items from photos, QR labels map your bins, a garage sale hub turns the stuff you don't want into cash, and an AI Concierge coaches you through decluttering with methods like KonMari and Swedish Death Cleaning. Plans start free (pricing), and there's a full comparison of today's home inventory apps if you want to shop around first.

Your inventory deserves a new home.
