Price the complete workflow, not only the headline subscription. Payment processing, tenant screening, e-signatures, expedited deposits, bank connections, additional users, and support tiers can change the real cost.
Our recommendation
Start with the product whose strongest workflow matches the task that consumes the most time today. Use one real vacancy or occupied unit for a trial, and keep exports of payment and accounting data before moving the rest of the portfolio.
