ManageCasa alternatives with a per-unit price you can check at 30 units
ManageCasa lists Base at $45, Growth at $80 and Premium at $130 a month billed yearly, with the price following your unit count and a quote on each plan. If you own rentals and want a per-unit price you can calculate yourself, alternatives include Rentec Direct (Pro $2 per unit, $50 monthly minimum), Hemlane (Basic $2 per unit plus $28 a month), Yardi Breeze ($1 per unit, $100 minimum), DoorLoop ($2.50 per unit, $199 minimum), Buildium (from $65 a month) and DoorKeeping ($2 per unit, no minimum).
Why owners compare beyond ManageCasa
ManageCasa's pricing page covers rentals and homeowner associations in one product, so some of what you pay for may be features a rental owner does not use, such as eVoting and association tools. A rental-only owner may prefer a per-unit price that does not depend on a selector. Others want the processing and screening fees published, which ManageCasa sends to a quote.
Published prices at 30 units for a year
| Software | Yearly at 30 units | How it is worked out |
|---|---|---|
| Rentec Direct Pro | $720 | 30 x $2 = $60 a month, above the $50 minimum |
| Rentec Direct PM | $900 | 30 x $2.50 = $75 a month |
| Hemlane Basic | $1,056 | $28 + 30 x $2 = $88 a month |
| Yardi Breeze | $1,200 | $100 monthly minimum, above 30 x $1 |
| DoorLoop One | $2,388 | $199 monthly minimum, above 30 x $2.50 |
| Buildium Essential | $780 at least | Starting price of $65 a month; unit limits not stated |
| ManageCasa Base | Unit count not stated | $45 a month billed yearly is $540 a year at the count the page showed |
| DoorKeeping | $720 | 30 x $2 = $60 a month |
Example a made-up owner with 30 units on Rentec Direct Pro pays 30 x $2 = $60 a month, which is above the $50 minimum, so $60 x 12 = $720 a year. On Hemlane Basic the same owner pays $28 + 30 x $2 = $88 a month, or $1,056 a year.
Rentec Direct Pro and DoorKeeping land at the same yearly price at 30 units, so the comparison there is features and fees, not software price.
What ManageCasa lists that rental-only owners may not need
Its page lists RealMail printing and postage ($0.95 for the first page and $0.20 for each additional), certified mail at $9.95 per recipient, package tracking, eVoting for associations and a bookkeeping add-on from $175 a month. Rentec Direct and Hemlane publish cash and service fees on their own pages. DoorKeeping includes books for each property in its $2 and does not offer association features or mail printing.
Where DoorKeeping fits
DoorKeeping is $2 per unit per month with no setup cost, no minimum and no contract, so 30 units is $60 a month. It serves residential rentals from 1 unit, and is built to be run from Claude or ChatGPT with an approvals queue for every money or legal step. See the compare page for the fees of every product.
What should you ask any vendor on this list?
Five questions make quotes comparable: the price at your exact unit count, any monthly minimum, every one-time fee, the fee on each rent payment and who pays it, and the cost of any add-on you would actually use. Write the answers in one table, with the date.
Then test the product on your own data. DoorKeeping lets you sign up and add real units with no charge until the first matched rent, and a public demo walks through an example property without signing up. Whatever you choose, run a month of real rent through it before you cancel the old tool. Keep the old account's exports for at least a year, since you may need them for tax preparation or a tenant dispute, and write down the date of each change so your records show which tool held which month.
