TenantPoint vs. AppFolio for a small commercial portfolio

The context
Start with what AppFolio and TenantPoint are built for.
AppFolio is a large, established property management platform built for management companies running much bigger portfolios—residential and commercial alike. It's a reasonable choice at that scale.
But its own pricing page states a 50-unit minimum on its entry-level Core plan, with every tier requiring you to contact sales for a quote rather than seeing a price up front. For an owner-operator running 3–15 commercial properties, that minimum and that sales process are the practical starting point—before you ever compare features.

| Online rent payments (ACH) | Not yet available to tenants | Yes |
Which platform fits
Neither of these is the right answer for every owner.
Who TenantPoint is for
TenantPoint is probably right for you if…
- You run 3–15 commercial properties and don't meet AppFolio's stated 50-unit minimum.
- You want to see the exact price and start using the product today, not book a call first.
- CAM reconciliation and lease-term tracking are a bigger daily pain than payment processing.
Where AppFolio is stronger
To be fair to AppFolio…
- AppFolio has been in this market far longer and supports portfolios well beyond what TenantPoint is built for today.
- If you already collect rent through ACH inside your property software, AppFolio does that; TenantPoint currently doesn't.
- A larger management company with in-house IT and a dedicated onboarding budget may value AppFolio's broader platform and services more than a lighter, commercial-only tool.
AppFolio's pricing, minimums, and quote requirement were checked directly against appfolio.com/pricing in September 2026. AppFolio does not publish per-unit or per-month dollar figures publicly.
