When to Choose Propertyware
Established single-family property management companies with 250+ units that need deep reporting and customization
Propertyware dominates the single-family rental management niche with powerful reporting and customization. However, reliability issues, a steep learning curve, and high minimums make it a poor fit for small landlords or those expecting a plug-and-play experience.
Strengths
- Purpose-built for single-family property management — the industry leader in this niche
- Best-in-class reporting module with highly customizable reports and custom fields
- Open API and flexible workflows for tailoring the platform to specific operations
- Transparent, publicly listed pricing with clear tier breakdowns
Limitations
- Steep learning curve with persistent bugs and slow resolution times reported by users
- $250/month minimum plus implementation fees make it expensive for smaller portfolios
- Performance issues and system crashes frustrate daily users
When to Choose Avail
First-time DIY landlords with fewer than 10 units who value simplicity and Realtor.com listing syndication
Avail is a solid, beginner-friendly platform with a generous free tier and strong listing reach via the Realtor.com ecosystem. However, the per-unit pricing model makes it progressively less economical as your portfolio grows, and the lack of a mobile app is a notable gap.
Strengths
- Backed by Realtor.com with automatic listing syndication to 20+ rental sites
- Strong free plan with state-specific lease templates, Autopay, and rent collection
- Clean, simple interface designed for first-time DIY landlords
- Tenant screening with TransUnion credit, background, and eviction reports
Limitations
- Per-unit pricing ($9/unit/month) gets expensive as portfolios grow — 10 units is $90/month
- No dedicated mobile app — web-only access frustrates landlords managing on the go
- Inconsistent customer support quality with limited response channels
