AppFolio
#1 of 31AI-powered property management for growing portfolios
Buy AppFolio if you manage 50+ units professionally and want AI-powered automation with strong accounting. The per-unit pricing is competitive at that scale. Skip if you have fewer than 50 units, because you literally cannot sign up, and the sales-only process wastes time for small landlords.
Best for
Professional property management companies with 50-5,000+ residential or commercial units that want AI-powered automation and syndicated listings
Company size
50-50000+ units

What's good
- AI assistant Realm-X drafts lease notices, responds to tenant emails, and handles routine communication: real time savings for a busy office
- Per-unit pricing works out well at scale. At $1.40/unit on Core, a 200-unit portfolio pays $280/mo, which is hard to beat for what you get
- 450+ integrations through AppFolio Stack connect to your existing accounting, inspection, and leasing tools without custom API work
- Syndicated listings push vacancies to Zillow, Apartments.com, and 20+ sites automatically. No manual posting on each site
What's not
- 50-unit minimum means a landlord with 10 duplexes cannot even sign up. This is built for management companies, not small portfolios
- No free trial. You sit through a sales process and commit before seeing how it works with your actual data
- Plus plan doubles the cost to $3.00/unit/mo. A 200-unit portfolio jumps from $280 to $600/mo just for custom fields and better accounting
- Max plan pricing is completely hidden. You will not know the cost until you are deep into the sales conversation
