Apartments.com Rental Manager vs Condo Control
Condo Control scores 7.7/10 vs 6.5/10. Best for: Condo boards and HOA managers who need deep community operations tools like amenity bookings, parking, security logs, and e-voting.
Condo Control scores higher overall at 7.7/10 vs 6.5/10. Condo Control goes much deeper on community management than most PM software. Where PayHOA covers the basics well, Condo Control adds parking management, security logs, parcel tracking, and 40+ other modules that larger or more complex communities actually need. The tradeoff is opaque pricing on the higher tiers and a sales process to get started. If your condo has a pool, gym, parking garage, and a concierge desk, this is built for you. If you just need dues collection and basic communication, PayHOA is simpler and cheaper.

What the pricing really means
At first glance, Apartments.com Rental Manager looks cheaper at $0/month vs $49/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Apartments.com Rental Manager wins
- Free listing syndication across the Apartments.com network reaches millions of renters
- Core features like screening, rent collection, and applications are free
- Backed by CoStar Group, giving it long-term stability and investment
- Inherited Cozy's user-friendly approach to small landlord management
Where Condo Control wins
- 40+ modules covering amenity bookings, parking control, security logs, parcel tracking, and more
- Much deeper feature set for condo/HOA operations than general PM tools like Buildium or AppFolio
- AI-powered resident self-service on Premium tier reduces board workload for common questions
- Strong review scores across Capterra (4.6, 116 reviews) and G2 (4.5, 56 reviews)
Where Apartments.com Rental Manager falls short
- No built-in accounting or financial tracking beyond basic expense logging
- Website can be glitchy, especially during peak application processing
- Maintenance tracking lacks advanced features like recurring tasks and priority levels
- Limited feature depth compared to dedicated property management platforms
Where Condo Control falls short
- Pricing for Standard and Premium tiers is not published, so you need a sales call to get a quote
- Not a rental management tool. No lease management, tenant screening, or vacancy features
- The three-tier structure means useful features like e-voting and amenity bookings require upgrading from Basic
- Geared toward condos and HOAs, not a fit for single-family or multifamily rental portfolios
Who is each product built for?
Apartments.com Rental Manager
Target: 1-50 units
Apartments.com Rental Manager is best for small landlords who value listing exposure above all else. Being part of the largest rental listing network in the US is a genuine competitive advantage for filling vacancies quickly. However, the management tools are relatively basic — there is no real accounting, and the platform works better as a listing and screening tool than a full property management solution.
Condo Control
Target: Condos and HOAs
Condo Control goes much deeper on community management than most PM software. Where PayHOA covers the basics well, Condo Control adds parking management, security logs, parcel tracking, and 40+ other modules that larger or more complex communities actually need. The tradeoff is opaque pricing on the higher tiers and a sales process to get started. If your condo has a pool, gym, parking garage, and a concierge desk, this is built for you. If you just need dues collection and basic communication, PayHOA is simpler and cheaper.
