DoorLoop
DoorLoop believes in absolute transparency, which is why pricing is published on our website and has no minimum unit counts. With month-to-month flexibility, you are not locked into annual contracts.
AppFolio
AppFolio requires users to request a quote, and pricing is not displayed publicly. Plans are billed annually. Because AppFolio has a 50-unit minimum, smaller portfolios may not qualify for entry.
