TenantPing vs Buildium vs AppFolio: Which Is Best for Small Landlords?

When it comes to property management software, you’ve likely heard of big players like Buildium and AppFolio. But are they the best choice for independent landlords?

Buildium & AppFolio: Great for Big Portfolios — But Overkill for Small Ones These platforms are powerful but often too complex and pricey for landlords with fewer than 50 units. They’re built for large property management companies, not independent landlords.

Why I Chose TenantPing As a landlord with 15 units, I needed something simple. TenantPing was the clear winner for three reasons: - Fast onboarding: I set up all my properties in under 10 minutes. - Focused features: TenantPing gives me everything I need without unnecessary tools. - Affordable pricing: No bloated enterprise costs.

Bottom Line If you’re managing fewer than 50 units, TenantPing is built for you. Big platforms are great for large teams, but if you’re on your own or have a small portfolio, TenantPing makes property management easy.
