Start with what AppFolio and TenantPoint are built for.
AppFolio is a large, established property management platform built for management companies running much bigger portfolios—residential and commercial alike. It's a reasonable choice at that scale.
AppFolio publishes starting per-unit pricing and states minimum-spend and unit requirements. Confirm the commercial quote, onboarding scope, and minimums for your portfolio rather than assuming a starting rate is your final cost.
Where TenantPoint and AppFolio actually differ.
| Feature | TenantPoint | AppFolio |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Public per-tier pricing at tenantpoint.co/pricing—$99 to $499/month, or $82.50 to $415.83/month billed annually | Starting per-unit rates are published; obtain a commercial quote and confirm minimum spend. |
| Minimum portfolio size | None—Owner includes 3 properties | 50-unit minimum stated on the Core plan |
| Start using it | 21-day free trial, no credit card, no sales call | Book a demo with sales |
| Built for | Commercial-only: lease intelligence, CAM/NNN reconciliation, work orders, tenant portal | Broad residential and commercial portfolios at scale |
| AI lease extraction | Built in, with required human approval before terms activate | Confirm current lease-extraction capability directly. |
| Online rent payments (ACH) | Stripe ACH on Portfolio / Professional or configured Custom; landlord setup required. $1 landlord platform fee per successful payment; Stripe fees separate. | Yes |
Neither of these is the right answer for every owner.
Who TenantPoint is for
TenantPoint is probably right for you if…
- You run 3–15 commercial properties and don't meet AppFolio's stated 50-unit minimum.
- You want to see the exact price and start using the product today, not book a call first.
- CAM reconciliation and lease-term tracking are a bigger daily pain than payment processing.
Where AppFolio is stronger
To be fair to AppFolio…
- AppFolio has been in this market far longer and supports portfolios well beyond what TenantPoint is built for today.
- Compare payment methods, processing fees, and settlement behavior for your tenants. TenantPoint supports Stripe ACH on eligible plans, not card rent payments or autopay.
- A larger management company with in-house IT and a dedicated onboarding budget may value AppFolio's broader platform and services more than a lighter, commercial-only tool.
