What the pricing really means
At first glance, TenantCloud looks cheaper at $15/month vs $59/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where DoorLoop wins
- Highest user ratings in property management: 4.8/5 on both G2 and Capterra. Users consistently praise the interface and onboarding experience
- Modern, clean UI that feels like a consumer app. Landlords who struggled with Buildium or AppFolio find DoorLoop easier to navigate
- Even the $59/mo Starter plan includes tenant screening, SMS notifications, and maintenance tracking. No feature gating on essentials
- Zapier integration on Premium connects to 5,000+ apps, so you can automate lease reminders, accounting syncs, and notification workflows
Where TenantCloud wins
- Cheapest paid PM tool at $15/mo for up to 10 leases. A landlord with a duplex and two SFRs pays less than a Netflix subscription
- Dashboard is genuinely intuitive. Landlords moving from spreadsheets can set up properties, tenants, and leases in under an hour
- 14-day free trial lets you test with real data before paying anything
- Every plan includes mobile app, online rent payments, and maintenance tracking. No feature gating on the basics
Where DoorLoop falls short
- $3/unit fee stacks on top of the base price: a 100-unit portfolio on Starter pays $59 + $300 = $359/mo, which adds up fast
- eSignatures cost extra on Starter and Pro. You need Premium at $169/mo base to get unlimited digital signatures included
- Onboarding fees range from $199-$499 unless you negotiate a waiver during a promotion period
- Some users report surprise charges showing up on invoices for features they thought were included in their plan
Where TenantCloud falls short
- Hard unit caps force upgrades: 10 leases on Starter ($15), 30 on Growth ($35), 60 on Pro ($60). Buy a new property and you might jump a tier
- About a third of users report payment processing delays. Rent sometimes takes 4-5 business days to land in your account
- Owner portal only available on Pro at $60/mo. If you manage for investors, the cheaper plans do not work
- Starter plan gives you just 1 GB of storage. A few lease PDFs and inspection photos will fill that fast
Who is each product built for?
DoorLoop
Target: 1-300 units
Buy DoorLoop if you manage under 100 units and want the cleanest, most modern interface in property management. The user ratings are earned. Skip if you have 200+ units, because the $3/unit add-on makes it one of the most expensive options at scale.
TenantCloud
Target: 1-100 units
Buy TenantCloud if you are a small landlord with 1-30 units who wants affordable, clean software to replace spreadsheets. At $15/mo it is the cheapest real PM tool available. Skip if you manage properties for investors, because the owner portal requires the $60/mo Pro plan, and payment processing delays will frustrate owners who expect rent deposited on time.
