How to Switch from Yardi Breeze to DoorLoop
- September 20, 2026
Short answer: DoorLoop now sells three plans: DoorLoop One at $2.50 per unit per month on yearly billing ($1.50 per unit above 100 units) with a $199 monthly minimum, Connect at $4 per unit, and Multiply at $5 per unit. The $199 minimum is the main reason small landlords look elsewhere, since it applies below about 80 units. People look elsewhere for a free option (Innago, Avail, or Hemlane’s Starter), HOA support or scale (Buildium), or bookkeeping first (Stessa, Baselane).
DoorLoop is a solid all-in-one platform, and it is not the right fit for every situation. Here is how the other platforms we have reviewed stack up, by reason.
DoorLoop One is $2.50 per unit per month, falling to $1.50 per unit above 100 units, with a $199 monthly minimum, so any portfolio under about 80 units pays $199. It includes the core platform, owner and tenant portals, an AI assistant, unlimited users and storage, and API access. Connect is $4 per unit with a $299 minimum and adds a Receptionist Agent and free incoming ACH payments. Multiply is $5 per unit with a $399 minimum and adds maintenance and lease renewal agents. Annual billing costs less, but DoorLoop does not show the annual rates. Existing customers can keep their old Starter, Pro, and Premium plans. Figures are from DoorLoop’s own pricing page, checked October 26, 2026.
If you want something free: Innago is free for landlords with no unit limits, and its tenants pay $2 per ACH payment or 2.99% on cards by default. Avail also has a free tier. Hemlane’s Starter plan is free forever, with paid tiers that add repair and leasing services.
If you manage under about 80 units: DoorLoop One bills a $199 monthly minimum, so a 20-unit portfolio pays about $10 per unit. Rentec Direct starts at $25 a month, and Buildium’s tiers start at $65.
If you manage HOAs or condo associations: Buildium handles community associations directly, from $65/month, with a separate association price calculator.
If you are at real scale, 200+ units: Buildium or AppFolio offer more accounting and automation depth than DoorLoop’s tiers reach. AppFolio has a 50-unit minimum and no published pricing.
If bookkeeping and tax tracking is the real pain point: Stessa or Baselane are built around that, and not around leasing and maintenance workflow.
| Option | Cost to start | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Innago | $0 for landlords, tenant-paid fees | Small portfolios, no unit limits |
| Avail | Free tier | One or two properties, lease templates |
| Hemlane | Free Starter plan; paid plans from $30/month for one unit | You want repair and leasing coordination |
| Buildium | From $65/month, priced by unit count | HOAs and larger portfolios |
| AppFolio | No published pricing, 50-unit minimum | 200+ units |
| Stessa and Baselane | See each review | Bookkeeping comes first |
DoorLoop One bundles API access, unlimited users and storage, and the full platform, and its per-unit rate drops above 100 units. DoorLoop also markets directly to mobile home park operators and confirms Plaid bank sync on its own site. If those matter, the premium over a free tool buys something specific.
