Hostfully vs OwnerRez: Which One Fits Your Portfolio?
- September 14, 2026
Short answer: Innago’s core platform is free with no unit or user limits, so it is the better start for most landlords under about 80 units. DoorLoop starts at a $199 monthly minimum on yearly billing (DoorLoop One, $2.50 per unit) and makes sense from roughly 80 units, or when you manage for other owners and want its owner portals, API and support.
The real difference between these two isn’t features, it’s who they’re built for. Innago is free. DoorLoop isn’t. Everything else follows from there.

DoorLoop: DoorLoop One $2.50 per unit per month ($1.50 per unit above 100 units) with a $199 monthly minimum; Connect $4 per unit with a $299 minimum; Multiply $5 per unit with a $399 minimum. Annual billing costs less and the annual rates are not published. Checked October 26, 2026.
Innago: $0/month core platform, no unit or user limits. Revenue comes from optional add-ons (tenant screening reports, premium support) and a small per-transaction fee on rent payments, not from a subscription.
DoorLoop targets landlords and property managers with roughly 80 or more units, where the per-unit rate clears the $199 monthly minimum, who want an all-in-one platform and are willing to pay for strong support and deeper functionality (owner portals, custom branding, open API).
Innago targets small to mid-sized landlords, with 97% of its own reviewers coming from small businesses. It’s the tool for someone who wants real functionality, not a stripped-down free trial, without a subscription.
Both include tenant screening, online rent collection, and maintenance tracking. DoorLoop adds owner portals and customizable branding, useful if you manage on behalf of other owners, plus an open API for connecting outside tools. Innago includes electronic lease signatures and customizable invoices/late fees in its free core, features some paid platforms charge extra for.
If you’re under about 80 units and want to avoid a large monthly bill, start with Innago. It’s not a trial version, it’s the real product. If you’re managing roughly 80 or more units, especially for other owners, and want dedicated support behind a paid platform, DoorLoop’s depth is worth the cost. Don’t pay DoorLoop’s $199 minimum for a portfolio Innago already handles for free.
