DoorLoop
Full-featured property management software aimed at managers and owners—powerful, but pricey for DIY landlords who only need rent and operations for under 20 doors.
DoorLoop is a full property-management system with owner statements, accounts payable and receivable, multi-entity accounting, vendor payouts, portals, leasing, and maintenance. Those are meaningful capabilities for a small management company, but more system—and more expense—than many self-managing owners need on day one.
There is no permanent free plan or self-serve free tier. DoorLoop’s onboarding path starts with a sales demo, followed by data migration, merchant setup, and training for customers who subscribe.
What costs money
The pricing calculator shows Starter at about $99 per month on monthly billing or $69 per month billed yearly, with a maximum of 10 units. Pro displays about $189 monthly or $149 per month billed yearly and is the tier DoorLoop recommends for more than 10 units. Premium displays about $239 per month; confirm the current annual figure with sales.
DoorLoop markets yearly savings of up to 25% in the calculator, while its annual-billing FAQ describes up to 20% off with 12 months paid upfront. A time-limited welcome offer advertises 30% off for three months and zero onboarding fees on select plans. Treat both as promotions, not base pricing. The FAQ says there are no contracts and customers can cancel anytime.
Starter charges $49 per bank account for the merchant application, $3 per eSignature document, and $2.49 per incoming ACH payment. Its optional website costs $99 per month plus $199 setup, or $999 yearly. TransUnion screening is listed at $45 and is typically tenant-paid, with an option for the landlord to mark it up.
Pro lowers the merchant application to $25, eSignature to $1 per document, and incoming ACH to $0.99 per payment. Its website is $49 per month plus $199 setup, or $499 yearly, and screening is $35. Premium lists free incoming ACH, unlimited free eSignatures, website creation and setup, Zapier, API access, unlimited users and storage, and $25 screening; it also allows convenience or ACH fees to be charged to tenants.
Small-portfolio fit
For a DIY landlord with fewer than 10 doors, Starter alone often costs more than an entire Innago or TurboTenant workflow and far more than RentRedi’s flat-rate subscription. Approaching 10 to 20 units creates a second problem: Starter’s 10-unit ceiling pushes the portfolio toward Pro’s much higher base price.
DoorLoop becomes easier to justify when the owner is operating like a property-management shop and needs formal owner reporting, deeper accounting, multiple entities, vendor payments, and team workflows. It is a poor economic fit when the actual requirement is simply rent collection, maintenance requests, and lease records.
Bottom line
A polished PM-grade platform with a real small-business feature set, but weak economics for most 1–20-unit DIY owners. Buy it for the accounting and management controls—not because you need a cleaner rent spreadsheet.
