Editorial verdict

Biggest printed lot count — still a quote and still launching cloud

MRI now prints 900K+ Australian lots and still leads on trust-accounting copy, levy/arrears and a Connect owner portal. Pricing is a demo form. Strata Master Cloud is still launching; the live KB describes Windows on-prem or Azure. Hosting is not AU-only. Dropped unverified Merlo 70% and the Property Tree chat hours. Compare StrataMax for SBR BAS, or Intellistrata for a printed per-lot range.

Best for
Established agencies that want MRI trust accounting and will take a quote while cloud finishes launching.
Not ideal for
Buyers who need a public price, SBR lodgement, or an AU-only data pin.

Feature highlights

These highlights come from vendor documentation and editorial analysis of public sources. They are not firsthand test results or a claim that every listed capability was exercised in a trial.

    Product page (8 Sep 2026). Stored ~750,000 is stale.

AU Compliance Scores

These scores apply to Australian tax, payroll and banking capabilities where they are relevant to MRI Strata Master. They are SoftwareHQ editorial judgements from public documentation, not firsthand product tests.

Not applicable means this product type is not scored on that dimension (for example BAS lodgement on a CRM). Not supported means the vendor does not offer it. Unknown means we could not verify it from public sources — that is not the same as unsupported.

BAS Lodgement
3/5Verified

KB BAS report: GST control reconciliation for ATO BAS. Ledger GST is accrual; BAS report can be cash. Support is guidance only — a BAS agent collates figures for the ATO. Not SBR.

STP Phase 2Not applicable

Not an employer STP product.

Payday SuperNot applicable

Not an employer payroll product.

Modern AwardsNot applicable

No award interpretation.

GST Handling
4/5Verified

KB: GST on taxable accounts, cash or accrual per plan, BAS/GST report. Scheme GST, not a small-business BAS lodge.

Bank FeedsNot applicable

Trust-account banking and reconciliation inside Strata Master. Not a Big-Four bank-feeds product.

How this review was made

Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.

  • Vendor documentation — Public pages from MRI Strata Master and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
  • Editorial analysis — SoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
  • Firsthand records — This review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.

This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.

MRI Strata Master Alternatives

  • Intellistrata — Printed $10–$55/lot/year from 600 lots — ISO 27001:2022, AU+US hosting.
  • Urbanise Strata — AWS Australia + ISO 27001, per-lot quote — NAB payments still a July 2026 pilot.
