Why teams look for AppFolio alternatives
- Monthly minimum makes small and mid portfolios pay for units they don't have
- No published per-unit pricing — every evaluation starts with a sales call
- Onboarding fees and a longer implementation window
Teams leave AppFolio for three reasons: cost at their portfolio size, a workflow that isn't covered, or an interface their staff won't use. Here's how Ayillo answers each — with prices you can check yourself.
Ayillo is a modular operating system, not a single app: leasing, rent and accounting, maintenance and vendor companies, commercial leases with CAM, marketplace listings, property websites, broadcasting with budget controls, and a resident app with a real community board. You turn on the modules you want and see the price before you buy.
AppFolio exports owners, properties, units, tenants, leases and GL history to CSV/Excel. Ayillo's Migration Center maps those files, previews every row before you commit, and reconciles ledger balances against a cutover date.
Reverse migration is included: export everything back out whenever you want. We'd rather earn the renewal than trap it.

It depends on portfolio size. You run 250+ units with a dedicated accounting function, need trust-accounting depth and enterprise reporting, and you're comfortable with a quote-based contract. If that's not your situation, Ayillo, DoorLoop and Rentec Direct are the usual shortlist — Ayillo publishes full pricing with no minimum.
