Most property management software is priced in tiers, and the features you actually need — accounting, screening, e-signature, owner reporting — tend to live in the expensive ones. iRent was built the other way around: one plan, every feature, $1 per unit per month (with a $200 monthly minimum).
What's included for $1 per unit
- Online rent collection by ACH and credit card, with recurring autopay and automatic late fees
- Tenant and owner portals
- Online applications, prospect tracking and one-click background screening
- Lease management, built-in forms and e-signature
- Maintenance work orders and make-ready tracking
- Bills, bank reconciliation, P&L and financial reports
- Email and SMS communications
- Vacancy posting to Facebook and Instagram
- Unlimited properties, units, users and team members
How the cost compares

AppFolio Core requires 50 units and a minimum spend it does not publish ("+"). DoorLoop One is $2.50/unit for the first 100 units, then $1.50, with a $199 minimum. Buildium does not publish per-unit prices; its plans start at $65, $202 and $420 per month.
Competitor prices are the published list prices on each company's pricing page as of October 30, 2026. Taxes, payment-processing fees and add-ons are not included. Prices change; check each vendor before you buy.
Is iRent right for small landlords?
If you own a handful of units, the $200 monthly minimum may be more than you need, and a basic entry-level plan elsewhere could cost less. iRent becomes the low-cost choice as your portfolio grows: at 200 units and above you pay exactly $1 per unit, with no feature upgrades to buy along the way.
Watch for hidden costs
When comparing software, look past the headline price:
- Tier upgrades — is accounting, screening or owner reporting in the plan you're quoted?
- Onboarding fees and required paid setup services
- Unit minimums and minimum spends that raise the real price for smaller portfolios
- Per-user fees — iRent includes unlimited users
