Property management software pricing in 2026 ranges from completely free to over $500 per month. The right price for you depends entirely on how many units you manage, which features you actually need, and whether you are a solo landlord or running a property management company. This guide breaks down real pricing across every tier so you can make an informed decision.

Free Tier: $0/month

Most platforms targeting independent landlords offer a free plan with limited capacity. PropTrack lets you manage 1 property with up to 3 units for free, with full access to tenant tracking, maintenance requests, and basic expense logging. TurboTenant offers free rental listings and screening (tenant-paid) with unlimited units. Avail provides a free plan with unlimited units but restricted features. Stessa offers free financial tracking with auto-imported transactions. Free plans are genuine working tools for landlords with a small portfolio.

Small Landlord Plans: $7 to $25/month

This is where most independent landlords with 2 to 10 units land. PropTrack Essential is $9/month for up to 5 properties and 15 units. PropTrack Pro is $19/month for up to 15 properties and 50 units. TurboTenant Premium is $8.25/month billed annually. Avail Unlimited Plus is $7 per unit per month, so 5 units costs $35/month. At this tier, you get full feature access: expense tracking, maintenance management, lease-end reminders, and in some cases contractor portals.

Mid-Market Plans: $50 to $200/month

Platforms like Buildium and AppFolio serve landlords and small property management companies with 20 to 200 units. Buildium Essential starts at $58/month for up to 20 units. AppFolio charges $1.40 per unit per month with a $280 minimum. These platforms include built-in accounting, online rent collection, vendor management, and reporting dashboards. Overkill for portfolios under 20 units.

Enterprise Plans: $200 to $500+/month

Yardi Breeze, RentManager, and similar platforms target companies with 200+ units. They include full accounting suites, owner portals, and integrations with banking and insurance providers. Solo landlords should not be paying enterprise prices.

Hidden Costs to Watch For

Beyond the monthly subscription, watch for onboarding fees (Buildium charges $99 to $399), per-unit pricing that scales as you grow, transaction fees on rent collection (1% to 2.75% for credit cards, $1 to $2 for ACH), and annual billing requirements. PropTrack and TurboTenant have no onboarding fees and no annual contracts.
