The short answer

DoorLoop's pricing page lists Starter at $69 per month billed yearly or $99 billed monthly, Pro at $149 or $189, and Premium at $209 or $239, with the price rising as you add units and an onboarding fee based on portfolio size. Tenants who pay rent by ACH are charged $2.49 per payment on Starter and $0.99 on Pro. Photo inspections are a paid add on on every plan.

Letting charges $59 per month for up to 25 units and $189 for up to 150, with inspections included and no onboarding fee. It does not collect rent online: tenants keep paying by bank transfer and Letting matches your bank export to each ledger. If you want rent collection, screening and listings inside one app, DoorLoop does that and Letting does not.

Where DoorLoop costs more, and where it does not

DoorLoop is a full platform with rent collection, screening, a tenant portal and accounting, and its price reflects that. The gap with Letting shows up for owners who do not need the payments side. A 20 unit landlord on DoorLoop Starter pays from $828 a year billed yearly, before the onboarding fee and before per unit charges past the default count. On Letting the same landlord pays $588 a year billed yearly, or $708 billed monthly.

The less visible cost is on the tenant side. On Starter, every ACH rent payment carries a $2.49 fee charged to the tenant. With 20 tenants paying monthly that is $597.60 a year leaving your tenants' pockets, which some owners absorb as a rent concession to avoid complaints. Letting has no fee on either side because it reads payments from your bank export instead of processing them.

Where DoorLoop is the better buy: if you manage 5 units or fewer and want free online rent collection, a landlord app with a free tier will cost you less than either of us. And if online payments, screening and listing syndication matter more than inspections and a flat bill, DoorLoop Premium puts all of it in one place.

  • Up to 25 units, tenants paying by bank transfer: Letting $59 per month, no tenant fees
  • 26 to 150 units with owner statements: Letting Agency $189 per month, flat
  • You need rent collection, screening and listings in the app: DoorLoop

Why landlords look for a DoorLoop alternative

The first reason is the bill moving with the portfolio. DoorLoop's pricing page asks for your unit count and adds cost as it grows, so buying three more houses changes your software price. Owners who budget per year often prefer a fixed band: 1 to 25 units is $59, and it stays $59.

The second is fees landing on tenants. ACH and card fees go to the renter on Starter and Pro. A tenant who has paid by bank transfer for three years and now sees a $2.49 charge on every rent payment tends to call the landlord, not DoorLoop.

The third is inspections. Photo move-in and move-out reports are what settle deposit disputes, and on DoorLoop inspections are an add on even on Premium. On Letting they come with the $59 plan.

Rent tracking without a payments module

Letting builds the rent roll from your leases each month. Export your bank transactions as CSV, drop the file in, and payments match to tenant ledgers, including partial payments and one transfer that covers two months. Arrears age into 1 to 30, 31 to 60 and 60+ days, so you see who to chase on the first morning of the month.

  • Bank CSV import from any US bank matched to tenant ledgers

Inspections and repairs included on the $59 plan

Move-in and move-out inspections run room by room on a phone, with dated photos and a PDF report the tenant can sign. At move-out the new photos sit beside the move-in set, which is the evidence you want when you deduct from a security deposit under your state's rules. Tenants report repairs through a request link with photos, and each repair records its cost against the unit.

Who should choose Letting, and who should choose DoorLoop

Choose Letting if you own or manage 10 to 25 units, your tenants already pay by ACH or Zelle into your account, your CPA keeps the books, and you want the rent roll, repairs and photo inspections for one fixed monthly price. It also fits a small agency with up to 150 doors that sends monthly owner statements and does not want tenants paying a processing fee.

Choose DoorLoop if you want tenants to pay rent inside a portal, need screening and vacancy listings in the same system, and want QuickBooks sync rather than an export. For that buyer DoorLoop Pro or Premium is a sensible pick, and we would rather you choose the right tool than switch twice.

What an 18 unit landlord pays in a year

Take an owner with 18 units across five buildings, tenants paying rent by ACH, three turnovers a year and a CPA who works in QuickBooks. On Letting that is the Landlord plan at $588 billed yearly, with three move-out inspections and all repair tracking included, and the income and expense export sent to the CPA each quarter. On DoorLoop Starter the owner pays from $828 billed yearly plus an onboarding fee, tenants pay $2.49 on each of 216 ACH payments ($537.84 a year), and inspections are an extra add on. Moving to Pro for the QuickBooks sync takes the subscription to $1,788 a year billed yearly.

How to switch from DoorLoop

Export properties, units, tenants and leases from DoorLoop as CSV, import them into Letting, and set opening balances for any tenant who is behind. Tell tenants who paid through the DoorLoop portal which account to pay into, then import last month's bank transactions and check that every payment matched. Most portfolios under 50 units finish in an afternoon. Time the move to the end of your DoorLoop billing period, especially on a yearly plan.

The full steps are on how it works.

  • Export units, tenants and leases as CSV
  • Import, then set opening balances per tenant
  • Send tenants new payment instructions
  • Import one month of bank CSV and check matching

FAQ

See all questions

For landlords with 10 to 25 units whose tenants already pay by bank transfer, Letting is a close fit: rent roll, bank CSV matching, repairs and photo inspections for $59 per month, with no onboarding fee and no tenant ACH fee. Owners with 5 units or fewer who want free online rent collection may do better on a landlord app with a free tier.

DoorLoop's pricing page lists Starter at $69 per month billed yearly or $99 billed monthly, Pro at $149 or $189, and Premium at $209 or $239. The price rises with unit count, portfolios over 300 units are quoted through a demo, and there is an onboarding fee based on portfolio size.

Yes. DoorLoop's help center says ACH fees are charged directly to tenants: $2.49 per payment on Starter, $0.99 on Pro and free on Premium. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments carry 3.25%, or 4% for international cards. Letting charges no payment fees because tenants pay into your own bank account.

DoorLoop works for small landlords, and it is built for small companies, but the entry plan starts at $69 per month billed yearly, adds cost per unit, and charges tenants for ACH payments. Landlords who do not need online rent collection often pay less on a flat $59 plan with inspections included.

DoorLoop is usually cheaper to start and includes QuickBooks sync from Pro, while Buildium starts at $62 per month on Essential and suits managers with heavier accounting needs. Both charge per payment fees. See our Buildium alternative page for Buildium's fee table.
