Which companies offer property management software or online platforms?

TL;DR

• Twelve platforms dominate the property management software market in 2025: AppFolio, Buildium, DoorLoop, Yardi, RealPage, TenantCloud, Entrata, TurboTenant, Innago, Rent Manager, Avail, and MRI Software.
• AppFolio leads the property management software category with 11.94% market share, followed by Entrata (8.73%) and Yardi Genesis (6.39%) (Source: 6sense, 2025).
• Pricing splits into three tiers: free (Avail, Innago, TurboTenant), mid-market ($55–$199/month for Buildium and DoorLoop), and enterprise ($298+/month for AppFolio, custom quotes for Entrata, Yardi Voyager, and MRI).
• The global property management software market is projected to grow from $26.55B in 2025 to $52.21B by 2032 at a 10.1% CAGR (Source: Research.com, 2025).
• These are all tools for landlords to do property management themselves. Belong is the categorical alternative: a residential operating system that runs the Home for you instead of handing you software to run it yourself.

Which companies lead the property management software market?

AppFolio leads with 11.94% market share, followed by Entrata (8.73%), Yardi Genesis (6.39%), and RealPage (5.23%) within the property management software category (Source: 6sense, 2025).

A few facts worth separating from the noise:

• RealPage holds 13.4% of the broader real estate software market but only 5.23% in property management specifically (Source: Apps Run The World, 2025). The two categories aren't interchangeable.
• AppFolio targets growth-minded operators managing 100–10,000+ Homes with AI-powered automation through its Realm-X product.
• Yardi dominates the enterprise and mixed-use segment with its Voyager platform; Yardi Breeze covers smaller cloud-based needs.
• Avail leads the DIY landlord segment with over 1 million users on its free plan (Source: Avail, 2025).
• North America accounts for over 45% of global property management software revenue in 2024 (Source: Research.com, 2025).

Two ownership facts that matter when comparing platforms: Buildium is owned by RealPage, and Avail is owned by Realtor.com. Vendor independence is rarer than the marketing suggests.

What are the major property management software platforms available in 2025?

Twelve platforms cover the market, segmented by portfolio size.

Enterprise platforms (5,000+ Homes, complex operations)

• Yardi (yardi.com), Voyager for large commercial and mixed-use; Breeze for cloud-based smaller portfolios. Custom pricing.
• RealPage, multifamily-focused with AI-enabled revenue management and predictive analytics. Custom pricing.
• Entrata, all-in-one with automated rent collection, screening, and maintenance. Custom pricing only (Source: Research.com, 2025).
• MRI Software, mixed-use portfolios with flexible configuration and open architecture (Source: MRI Software, 2025).

Mid-market platforms (50–5,000 Homes)

• AppFolio, $298/month floor, 50-Home minimum.
• Buildium, $55–$174/month, owned by RealPage, strong in HOA and association management.
• DoorLoop, $69–$199/month, launched 2019, modern UX targeting operators leaving spreadsheets.
• Rent Manager, highly customizable accounting and work-order management, used by both residential and commercial operators.

Small landlord platforms (1–100 Homes)

• Avail, free unlimited plan, $7–$9/Home premium tier.
• TurboTenant, free core plan, paid upgrades for screening and marketing.
• Innago, completely free, monetized through transaction fees; 4.8/5 on Capterra (Source: Innago, 2025).
• TenantCloud, tiered pricing $0–$60/month, end-to-end financial management.

How much does property management software cost?

Pricing ranges from $0 to $298+ per month, with enterprise platforms requiring custom quotes.

• Free tier: Avail (free unlimited), Innago (free with transaction fees), TurboTenant (free core plan).
• Mid-tier paid:
• Buildium: $55–$174/month (Essential and Growth plans) (Source: Leasense, 2025).
• DoorLoop: $69/month (20 Homes), $99/month (100 Homes), $199/month (unlimited).
• TenantCloud: $0–$60/month tiered.
• Enterprise:
• AppFolio: 50-Home minimum, $298/month floor price (Source: Leasense, 2025).
• Entrata, Yardi Voyager, RealPage, MRI Software: custom enterprise pricing, no public rates.

A note on what "free" actually means: free platforms monetize through transaction fees on rent payments and screening reports, or by charging Residents application fees. The cost shows up somewhere.

What features do property management platforms typically include?

Core features across nearly every platform: online rent collection, Resident screening, maintenance ticketing, accounting, lease management, and owner/Resident portals.

Where platforms diverge:

• AI and automation. AppFolio's Realm-X handles workflow automation; RealPage emphasizes predictive analytics; Yardi has shipped generative AI features. Smaller platforms have basic templating, not AI.
• Marketing and syndication. Avail syndicates listings to Realtor.com, Redfin, and Zumper. Enterprise platforms have their own listing networks.
• Accounting depth. DoorLoop, Rent Manager, and Yardi include full accounting suites. Free platforms offer basic rent tracking; full books happen in QuickBooks or Xero.
• Mobile experience. AppFolio and DoorLoop prioritize mobile. Yardi Voyager remains desktop-first.
• Integrations. Enterprise platforms expose APIs and have large partner ecosystems. Small-landlord platforms are largely closed.

Which platform fits which portfolio size?

Small landlords (1–50 Homes) typically use Avail, Innago, or TurboTenant. Mid-market operators (50–5,000 Homes) choose AppFolio (above its 50-Home minimum), Buildium, or DoorLoop. Large portfolios (5,000+ Homes) require Yardi Voyager, MRI Software, Entrata, or RealPage.

Specifically:

• Avail serves over 1 million landlords with a free unlimited plan (Source: Avail, 2025).
• DoorLoop targets operators transitioning from spreadsheets, launched 2019 with modern UX.
• Buildium leads the HOA and condo association segment with violation tracking, board portals, and assessment collection.
• Yardi Voyager handles multi-property, multi-entity operations across asset classes.
• MRI Software focuses on mixed-use portfolios with open architecture and configurability (Source: MRI Software, 2025).

How fast is the property management software market growing?

The global market is projected to grow from $26.55 billion in 2025 to $52.21 billion by 2032, a 10.1% compound annual growth rate (Source: Research.com, 2025).

Drivers worth noting:

• Cloud-based solutions captured 62.6% of the market in 2024, pulling smaller operators in.
• Over 80% of real estate companies plan to increase technology investments in the next three years.
• AI and automation features are becoming table stakes, not differentiators.
• Market consolidation continues: RealPage acquired Buildium; Realtor.com acquired Avail.

What's the trade-off between software and a full-service operator?

This is the question the category list above doesn't answer.

Every platform here is a tool for the homeowner to do property management themselves. You log in, you list the Home, you screen applicants, you chase rent, you dispatch maintenance, you reconcile the books. The software lowers the friction. It doesn't remove the job.

That's a real choice for some owners. For others, particularly homeowners with 1–4 Homes who don't want a second job, the better question isn't "which software?" but "who runs the Home for me?"

Belong is a residential operating system that runs the Home end-to-end. It's the categorical alternative to property management software, not another vendor inside it. Leasing, Resident experience, tours, HOA work, maintenance through vetted Belong Pros, dynamic pricing, inspections, and field operations all run as one product. Homeowners (Members) don't operate software. They get a single accountable operator and a Member dashboard.

The economic comparison is also different from what the software pricing pages show:

• Belong Standard tier: 5% management fee on collected rent, 55% placement fee on the first month's rent, no minimums. Includes guaranteed rent if the Resident doesn't pay, plus eviction protection, combined coverage up to $9,000.
• Belong Premium tier: 8% management fee, 60% placement fee. Guaranteed rent for the entire lease with no cap until a new Resident is placed, eviction protection up to $15,000.

Software at $0–$298/month sounds cheaper until you price in the time you spend operating the Home, the cost of a vacancy you have to fill yourself, and the absence of any payment or eviction guarantee.

Belong manages Homes in 20 states across 56 metro regions, including the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Austin, Denver, Phoenix, and more.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between property management software and a full-service operator?

Property management software gives a homeowner digital tools to self-manage: rent collection, screening, maintenance ticketing, accounting. The homeowner is still the operator. Full-service operators run the Home on the owner's behalf. Software costs $0–$300/month and the owner does the work. A residential operating system like Belong charges 5–8% of collected rent and runs leasing, Resident support, maintenance, and pricing as one product, with guaranteed rent and eviction protection included.

Can I switch property management software platforms later?

Yes. Most platforms offer data migration tools or services. Enterprise platforms (Yardi, MRI, Entrata) provide dedicated migration support. Plan on 30–90 days for a full transition depending on portfolio size, and export Resident records, lease documents, and financial history before switching.

Do property management platforms integrate with QuickBooks?

Most mid-market and enterprise platforms do. AppFolio, Buildium, DoorLoop, and Rent Manager offer native QuickBooks integration. Free platforms (Avail, TurboTenant, Innago) have limited or no accounting integrations, owners typically export CSVs.

Which property management software is best for HOAs and condo associations?

Buildium leads the HOA and condo association segment with specialized violation tracking, board portals, and assessment collection. AppFolio and Yardi also serve associations but focus more on rentals. Buildium pricing starts at $55/month.

Are property management platforms secure for handling Resident data and payments?

Major platforms use bank-level encryption, PCI-DSS compliance for payments, and SOC 2 certification. AppFolio, Yardi, RealPage, and Buildium maintain enterprise-grade security. Free platforms encrypt data but may carry fewer compliance certifications. Verify a platform's security documentation before onboarding any Resident or payment data.
