Why operators look for an alternative
The reasons are consistent. AppFolio publishes a per-unit rate with a monthly minimum that prices out smaller portfolios. It is built around US workflows, so Canadian provincial compliance and payment rails are weak. And several capabilities operators consider core, including communications and parts of screening, are positioned as add-ons.
What to look for instead
Match the alternative to the reason you are leaving. If price is the issue, prioritize no minimums and a free or low entry tier. If you operate in Canada, prioritize native provincial compliance and Canadian rails. If you are tired of add-ons, prioritize an all-in-one platform that includes communications and screening in the base price.
- No unit minimum and transparent per-door pricing
- US and Canada compliance built in, not bolted on
- Communications and screening included, not add-ons
- A migration path that preserves your data and balances
Revun as an AppFolio alternative
Revun is built for exactly the operators AppFolio leaves behind: it has no unit minimum, a free tier for one to two units, native US and Canada compliance, and communications, screening, and accounting included in one per-door price. Migration imports your units, leases, tenants, and ledgers from an AppFolio export and reconciles balances before go-live.
