What the pricing really means
At first glance, TurboTenant looks cheaper at $0/month vs $59/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 DoorLoop wins
- Highest user ratings in property management: 4.8/5 on both G2 and Capterra. Users consistently praise the interface and onboarding experience
- Modern, clean UI that feels like a consumer app. Landlords who struggled with Buildium or AppFolio find DoorLoop easier to navigate
- Even the $59/mo Starter plan includes tenant screening, SMS notifications, and maintenance tracking. No feature gating on essentials
- Zapier integration on Premium connects to 5,000+ apps, so you can automate lease reminders, accounting syncs, and notification workflows
Where TurboTenant wins
- Free plan with unlimited properties and no per-unit charges is exceptional value
- Full rental lifecycle coverage from listing to lease to rent collection to accounting
- 4.9-star mobile app allows managing everything on the go
- Built-in accounting syncs bank accounts and generates Schedule E tax packets
Where DoorLoop falls short
- $3/unit fee stacks on top of the base price: a 100-unit portfolio on Starter pays $59 + $300 = $359/mo, which adds up fast
- eSignatures cost extra on Starter and Pro. You need Premium at $169/mo base to get unlimited digital signatures included
- Onboarding fees range from $199-$499 unless you negotiate a waiver during a promotion period
- Some users report surprise charges showing up on invoices for features they thought were included in their plan
Where TurboTenant falls short
- Paid plans are annual-only — no month-to-month option available
- Free plan has ACH transaction fees that tenants or landlords must absorb
- No owner portal for property managers acting on behalf of investors
- Customer support scores lower than features and ease-of-use ratings
Who is each product built for?
DoorLoop
Target: 1-300 units
Buy DoorLoop if you manage under 100 units and want the cleanest, most modern interface in property management. The user ratings are earned. Skip if you have 200+ units, because the $3/unit add-on makes it one of the most expensive options at scale.
TurboTenant
Target: 1-100 units
TurboTenant delivers remarkable value with its free plan covering unlimited properties and the full rental lifecycle. The paid plans at under $150/year are among the cheapest in the market. It is best for individual landlords managing their own rentals who want simplicity without monthly subscription costs. Property management companies serving third-party owners will find the lack of an owner portal a significant gap.
