From a free tool to your own software

Software for property and land businesses

Land units change from state to state, and every conversion done by hand is a chance to misquote a plot. Developers, brokers and land consultants handling hundreds of listings need those numbers inside their own systems, on the listing, in the CRM and on the agreement, not in a browser tab.

  • Property listing portals

    Listings that show area in the buyer's own unit, gaj, bigha, katha or square feet, with state-aware conversion, map search and enquiry capture built in.

  • Broker and developer CRMs

    Track plots, site visits and follow-ups in one place, with area, rate per unit and total price calculated the same way on every deal.

  • Land-records digitisation

    Bring survey and ownership records into a searchable system, convert historic units consistently and flag mismatches before they reach a registry office.

  • Pricing calculators for your website

    An embeddable calculator that turns plot size and rate into a clear quote, so enquiries arrive with the numbers already worked out.

Questions people ask

How many square feet in 1 cent?

1 cent = 435.6 sq ft — exactly 1/100 of an acre (43,560 sq ft ÷ 100).

How many cents make 1 acre?

100 cents = 1 acre exactly — the name "cent" comes directly from this one-hundredth relationship.

Why is land priced per cent in Kerala instead of per square foot or acre?

A cent is a convenient middle-ground size for residential plots — an acre is too large a unit for most home plots, and pricing per square foot feels too granular for everyday conversation, so Kerala and Tamil Nadu property listings settled on cents as the practical unit.

What is a 5 cent plot in square feet?

5 × 435.6 = 2,178 sq ft — a common size for an independent house plot in Kerala.

Is the cent value the same across Kerala and Tamil Nadu?

Yes — unlike bigha or katha, cent is a standardised fraction of the acre (1/100) and does not vary by state or district; 435.6 sq ft applies everywhere the unit is used.

Is this converter free and does it work offline?

Yes — no login, no upload, and the page keeps working even without an internet connection once it has loaded.
