Landlords who switched from AppFolio, Buildium, and spreadsheets
Join property managers who stopped chasing late rent.
"We switched from AppFolio at 340 units. Our monthly software cost dropped by $800 and my team got back 3 hours a week each. The math wasn't even close."
"Managing 500+ units, late payments were killing us. Since switching, our on-time rate went from 78% to 96%. That's a $3,500 difference per unit we're not losing to turnover."
"We manage 250 units with a team of 3. RentRate handles what used to take two full days a month. The tenant communication visibility alone reduced our turnover by 12%."
Property managers with 200–1,000 units save an average of $16K/year switching from AppFolio.
