How much does property management software cost in 2026?
Property-management software can cost $0, a flat monthly fee, a tiered portfolio price, or a per-unit amount. The useful comparison is not the sticker price—it is the annual cost for the portfolio and workflow you actually run.
Research standard: plan and pricing details are checked against vendor-published sources. When exact portfolio pricing is not public, we label it quote-dependent rather than inventing a number. See our methodology.
2026 property-management software pricing at a glance
| Platform | Public starting structure | Pricing model | Best cost question to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Innago | $0 landlord subscription | Transaction / service fees around a free base platform | Who absorbs ACH, card and screening fees? |
| TurboTenant | Free; Essentials from $149/yr | Free base + annual portfolio-size tiers | Do you need Premium features, and which unit band are you in? |
| RentRedi | $12/mo equivalent on annual plan | Flat subscription; unlimited units | Does a flat price offset feature trade-offs at your scale? |
| Stessa | Free; Manage $12/mo annual; Pro $28/mo annual | Flat tiered subscription | Is your priority accounting/finance or full PM operations? |
| TenantCloud | Starter $15/mo annual equivalent | Flat feature tiers | Which accounting and owner-management features require a higher tier? |
| Buildium | Essential from $62/mo | Professional feature tiers + add-on fees | What do payments, eSignatures and setup add to annual cost? |
| DoorLoop | Starter from $69/mo annually for the first 10 units | Plan + unit tiers | What is the live quote at your exact unit count? |
| Hemlane | Starter free; Basic $28 + $2/unit | Free entry tier + per-unit software/services | Are you buying software only, or replacing operational labor? |
Published prices are snapshots, not quotes. Taxes, promotions, optional services and usage fees can change the final amount.
The four pricing models that matter
1. Free landlord subscription with transaction economics
Innago is the clearest example: the base landlord subscription is $0, while payment and screening activity can carry fees. This can be extremely economical when tenants or applicants pay those charges, but a landlord who chooses to absorb them should model that choice explicitly.
2. Flat subscription
RentRedi, Stessa and TenantCloud are useful benchmarks because the subscription is not simply “unit count × price.” Flat pricing can become more attractive as a portfolio grows, provided the product still covers the workflows you need.
3. Portfolio-size tiers
TurboTenant and DoorLoop illustrate a tiered approach. Your cost can jump when you cross a unit band, so compare the price not only at your current size but also at the next likely portfolio size.
4. Per-unit software or services
Hemlane Basic uses a low per-unit software amount on top of a platform fee, while Essential and Complete include substantially more operational help. A fair comparison therefore separates software cost from the cost of outsourced work.
What does software cost at 10, 25, 50 or 100 units?
| Portfolio size | Cost pattern to watch | Useful benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| 10 units | Free plans and low flat subscriptions remain realistic | 10-unit guide |
| 25 units | Unit tiers, owner reporting and accounting depth start to matter more | 25-unit guide |
| 50 units | Workflow cost can exceed subscription differences | 50-unit guide |
| 100 units | Staff access, accounting, integrations and service coordination dominate | 100-unit guide |
Seven costs that are easy to miss
- ACH / EFT processing and who pays it.
- Credit-card convenience fees.
- eSignature volume.
- Screening reports and applicant fees.
- Bank-account or merchant-account setup.
- Onboarding, data migration and implementation.
- Human coordination that software does not replace.
