Buildium was founded in 2004 and launched its property management software in 2008, according to the vendor. It is now a RealPage company. The vendor describes the product as purpose-built for residential management, including single-family and multifamily rentals and community associations, and states that it can also handle student housing, commercial and storage units in a mixed portfolio.

The three plans add features in steps. Essential covers accounting, maintenance, leasing, basic communications and standard reporting. Growth adds enhanced tenant screening, lower eSignature and EFT fees and business analytics. Premium adds an open API and the lowest transaction fees. A marketplace connects third-party tools, and a 14-day trial runs on sample data.

Yardi Breeze is the cloud product that Yardi Systems sells to smaller and mid-size property managers, alongside its enterprise Voyager platform. The vendor lists marketing and leasing, rent collection, accounting, accounts payable, owner tools, maintenance and renters insurance among its residential features.

Breeze supports residential, commercial, affordable, self storage, HOA and condo and manufactured housing properties. Two editions are sold. Breeze is the entry product. Breeze Premier adds further capability at the same $1 residential per-unit rate but with a $400 monthly minimum, and some portfolio types require a form or a call for Premier pricing. All published prices assume an annual agreement.

Propertyware is a RealPage company focused on single-family rental management. The vendor describes it as a customizable and open property management system, with an open API for two-way data exchange, multi-location management and portfolio-level accounting and reporting.

The feature set covers marketing websites, lead tracking, listing syndication, applications, screening, eSignature, payments, tenant and owner portals, text messaging, inspections, work orders and bank reconciliation. Add-ons are priced on the same page: a maintenance contact center at $1.10 per unit per month and a leasing contact center at $2.85 per unit per month, each with a $300 setup fee, and professional websites at $99 a month.

DoorLoop sells an all-in-one property management platform covering accounting, rent collection, leasing, maintenance, a tenant CRM and an owner portal. The vendor lists residential, multifamily, single-family, commercial, affordable housing and HOA portfolios, and documents a QuickBooks integration, an open API and Zapier.

Pricing is published in three plans with a monthly and yearly toggle. Starter is limited to 10 units. Pro and Premium add features such as an AI add-on, advanced reporting and showing scheduling. The pricing page includes a unit-count calculator, and managers above 300 units are directed to book a demo.

Rentvine is property management software for professional management companies. Its feature menu groups trust accounting, portfolios and pods, payments, owner statements and accounting services under accounting, with maintenance, portals, inspections and workflows under operations, and websites, screening, leasing and a CRM under marketing.

The vendor states that its AI drafts owner statements, triages work orders and catches mis-coded transactions before close, and it publishes an MCP server for connecting AI assistants. Pricing is a single per-active-unit rate with all features included and a one-time setup fee that covers data migration and onboarding.

TenantCloud is rental management software that the vendor states more than 100,000 landlords use. The platform covers online rent payments, maintenance requests, listings and applications, tenant screening, accounting and an owner portal, and it syndicates listings to sites including Zillow and Realtor.com.

The four plans step up from Starter, aimed at do-it-yourself landlords, to Business, aimed at larger companies needing team management and interface customization. Growth adds enhanced reporting and move-in and move-out inspections; Pro adds tax reports, bank reconciliation and a separate owner portal.

TurboTenant is landlord software that the vendor states more than one million landlords use. The free plan covers listing on more than 25 rental sites, applications, background, credit and eviction screening and online rent collection. Essentials adds online leases and eSignatures; Pro adds income verification, free ACH payments and built-in accounting.

The company also sells Autopilot, a full-service option in which its team places tenants and handles management for a flat fee, and a standalone tenant placement service at $1,500. The product suits an owner who manages personally, not a management company.

AppFolio sells its property management platform in three plans. Core covers property accounting and reports, marketing and leasing, work orders, inspections, the Realm-X assistant and messages, and purchase orders and inventory tracking. Plus adds affordable and student housing capabilities, advanced budgeting and accounting, custom fields, Realm-X Flows and premium integrations.

The page documents management of residents, applicants and waitlists, screening, appointment scheduling and eviction processes, and real-time portfolio views of buildings, floor plans, units and availability. The vendor cites an 83% reduction in staff time on processes such as month-end close and move-outs; this is a vendor claim, not an independent measure.

Around OneSite, RealPage sells financial and accounting, facilities, spend, utility, screening, CRM and resident portal products. RealPage also owns Buildium and Propertyware, which serve smaller managers on this page.

MRI Software sells a multifamily stack in three layers. MRI Engage covers the front office: a multifamily CRM, call answering, the Engage Apply leasing portal, the Engage Connect resident portal and Engage Secure Sign.

The vendor positions the platform as open, connecting MRI and third-party tools, and states that the portals can be bought on their own. PMX also handles commercial, industrial and retail property, which suits mixed portfolios.
