A practical comparison of published entry terms, portfolio fit, portals, maintenance, accounting, leasing, integrations, and support.
We reviewed the official pages linked below. Features and fees can change; verify current terms with each provider before purchasing.
You manage a small portfolio that fits its Starter configuration and want a published month-to-month entry, tenant web access, and an included restricted vendor portal. Confirm whether its narrower accounting, payment, listing, and native-app scope matches your workflow.
You operate at least 50 units and need a broader platform. That means property accounting, marketing and leasing, work orders, and mobile workflows. Resident, owner, and vendor portals and tiered API access come with it. AppFolio uses custom quotes.1, 3

We reviewed official vendor-controlled pages available on July 28, 2026 and compared public claims at the level each page describes them. "Included" does not imply equal depth. "Not confirmed in reviewed public sources" means the reviewed official pages did not establish the claim; it does not mean the capability is absent. Where official pages conflict, we flag the conflict instead of selecting a favorable figure.
