**Why are we still paying 0.5% rent collection fees ON TOP of a $280/month subscription? (AppFolio, Buildium)**
​
I've been digging into property management software pricing and the math is brutal:
- AppFolio: $280+/month AND 0.5%+ per rent transaction
- Buildium: $55+/month AND 0.5%+ per rent transaction
- E-signatures? Extra. Unlimited leases? Extra. Auto late fees? Extra.
I built an alternative — Property Flow HQ — at $19.99/month flat. No rent collection fee. E-signatures, contractor marketplace, white-label portal, ID & paystub scanner all included.
Not a sales pitch, genuinely curious — what are you all paying right now and is it worth it to you?
