Blueprint vs Centriq
The beloved 'snap the nameplate, get the manual' home app. It shut down on January 31, 2026, and the app is gone from the App Store.
Centriq is gone: it shut down on January 31, 2026, the app was pulled from the App Store, and its domain no longer belongs to the company. If you kept your home's appliances and maintenance in it, you need a new home for those records. If you still have your Centriq CSV export, Blueprint imports it directly: upload the file, preview the appliances, and they land in your property with maintenance suggested for each one. It also brings back two Centriq staples, appliance age read from the serial number and parts with buy links. Blueprint is not a clone, and this page is honest about what carries over and what does not. Competitor pricing and features were checked as of August 2026 and can change, so confirm the current details on their site before deciding.
What happened to Centriq?
Centriq shut down on January 31, 2026. Centriq shut down on January 31, 2026 after a retirement notice in late 2025. The app was removed from the App Store, mycentriq.com is now a parked domain, and any data not exported before the deadline was deleted. The export was CSV only, covering item names, model and serial numbers, purchase dates, locations, and notes; photos, receipts, and documents were never included and are gone unless you saved them individually. If you still have your CSV, keep it: it is the fastest way to rebuild your records anywhere else.

Pick Blueprint if you want
- Importing your Centriq CSV export straight into an app that is still supported, with maintenance suggested for each appliance.
- Snapping a nameplate to fill in brand, model, and serial, included in Pro, then finding the manual for that model.
- Seeing each appliance's age and remaining life from its serial number, and the parts it takes, with buy links.
- Maintenance schedules with push reminders and a completion history, which Centriq never had.
- AI project plans with steps, materials, tools, cost estimate, and schedule.
- Comparing contractor bids line by line against your estimate.
- Households sharing one workspace across up to 5 members.
Centriq was a fit for
- A human-curated database of 1.86M products and 1M manuals; Blueprint finds manuals with AI web search, which covers most models but not every one.
- Parts matched by exact model from 107 million parts, plus model-specific how-to videos; Blueprint's parts come from your owner's manual with store search links, and it has no videos.
- Photos, receipts, and documents: nothing to import now, since Centriq's export never included them.
- Nothing today: the app is gone, and its data was deleted after January 31, 2026.
Bottom line
Start with your Centriq CSV: Blueprint imports it in one upload and suggests maintenance for every appliance it creates. From there, the nameplate scan, manual lookup, appliance age from the serial number, parts with buy links, recall checks, and PDF home report cover most of what made Centriq good, with AI project planning and maintenance reminders it never had. What Blueprint cannot bring back is anything Centriq's export left out, like photos and receipts, or its parts database and how-to videos. Web and iOS, from $4.17/mo.
Blueprint vs Centriq FAQ
What happened to Centriq?
Centriq posted a retirement notice in late 2025 and shut down on January 31, 2026. The app was pulled from the App Store, the domain is now parked, and the company never publicly explained why. Any account data not exported before the deadline was deleted.
Did Centriq shut down in 2025 or 2026?
January 31, 2026. A widely copied blog post typo'd the year as 2025 and AI-written listicles spread it, but the Internet Archive shows mycentriq.com fully live in late November 2025, months after the supposed 2025 shutdown.
Can I import my Centriq CSV into Blueprint?
Yes. On a property's page on the web, upload your Centriq CSV, check the preview, and import. Each row becomes an appliance with its name, brand, model, serial, purchase date, and notes, and Blueprint suggests a maintenance schedule for each one that you confirm. When a serial number follows its brand's published date code, Blueprint also records when the appliance was made. Photos, receipts, and documents were never in Centriq's export, so attach those yourself afterward. Import is on the web only; the iOS app does not import.
What is the best Centriq replacement?
It depends on what you used Centriq for. Blueprint imports your Centriq CSV and covers the core of it: nameplate scan, manual lookup, appliance age from the serial number, parts with buy links, recall checks, and a PDF home report. On top of that, Blueprint adds AI project plans, push reminders with completion history, and contractor quote comparison that Centriq never had, at $7.99/mo or $49.99/yr.
Does Blueprint scan appliance nameplates like Centriq did?
Yes. Photograph the data plate and Blueprint reads brand, model, and serial into a draft you review and confirm, so nothing is saved without you. It is included in Pro with no separate scan quota, on web and iOS. Saving the appliance also kicks off a manual lookup and a suggested maintenance schedule, and one tap on Fill in details looks up its specs and typical lifespan for you to apply or dismiss.
Does Blueprint show appliance age and parts like Centriq did?
Mostly. For brands that publish their date codes (GE, the Whirlpool family, Rheem, A. O. Smith, Bradford White, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, LG, Samsung, Bosch, and their sister brands), Blueprint reads the build date from the serial number and shows the appliance's age and remaining life, and offers to plan the replacement as it nears the end. Parts come from your owner's manual, with search links at Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's plus the maker's parts store for GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, and LG, and reminders for a linked task name the part number. What Blueprint does not have is Centriq's database of 107 million parts matched by exact model, or its how-to videos.
