Top 5 Buildium Alternatives for Independent Landlords (2025)
Buildium is powerful—but expensive and complex for small landlords. Here are 5 better options for managing under 50 units:
| Alternative | Starting Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| TenantPing | $19/month (10 units) | Easy setup, maintenance tracking, tenant communication |
| Avail | $15/unit/month | Lease templates & rent collection |
| Rentec Direct | $35/month (10 units) | Accounting & tenant screening |
| Propertyware | $1.25/unit/month | Custom workflows (50+ units only) |
| Hemlane | $20/month (per owner) | Vendor coordination |
TenantPing stands out: flat $19/month, photo/video maintenance requests, automated SMS/email updates, and exportable logs—all built for independent landlords.
Why Pick TenantPing Over Buildium? - Affordable: Starting at $19/month vs Buildium’s $50+. - Fast Setup: Get started in under 10 minutes. - Focused: No bloated enterprise tools you won’t use.
