Buildium vs Tenant Cloud

Buildium helps property owners and managers digitize and streamline every property management workflow. Users prefer the solution because of its end-to-end property management features, ease of use and responsive support suite. Reviewers also mention that residents are fond of the platform’s mobility and prefer paying rent and issuing maintenance requests digitally. However, reviews note that the platform is mainly built for residential properties and lacks nuanced features like complicated lease structures, automatic utility tracking, in-depth CC&R and violation tracking for commercial, student and community properties. Users also have to manually match transactions to bank entries and can’t issue work orders automatically. Considering everything, buildium can get confusing for larger portfolios but is perfect for single landlords and managers to organize and monitor operations from a unified dashboard.

TenantCloud is an all-in-one solution that can handle unit marketing on multiple ILS, screening and leasing prospects, maintenance work orders, online payment and reporting. Reviews identified its templates library, mobile apps and training material as noteworthy features. However, it’s suited only for residential properties. The vendor doesn’t provide advanced features like intelligent automation, trust accounting and smart maintenance offered by competitors at the same price range as TenantCloud’s premium plan. It’s a good option for single landlords and small property managers but can bog down operations for businesses with more than 30 units.
