When to Choose Yardi Breeze
Small to mid-size property managers who want an affordable, easy-to-learn platform with a path to grow into Yardi's enterprise ecosystem
Yardi Breeze offers the best value proposition for operators who want enterprise backing without enterprise complexity. Zero setup fees and no training costs make it the lowest-risk entry point. Its accounting limitations are real, but for straightforward portfolio management it delivers significant capability per dollar.
Strengths
- Lowest total cost of ownership — no setup, training, or support fees on any plan
- Easy to learn even for non-technical users, with a clean simplified interface
- Backed by Yardi Systems (40+ years in property tech) with upgrade path to Yardi Voyager
- All-in-one solution covering financials, tenant management, maintenance, and marketing
Limitations
- Accounting capabilities are notably weaker than competitors for complex multi-entity operations
- Reporting is limited — Bill Pay reports lack payee names, restricted drill-down options
- Customer support is inconsistent — sometimes excellent, sometimes unresponsive
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
