How ProperLease compares
Honest comparisons against the alternatives self-managing landlords actually use, each one naming where the other side wins. We do not publish other vendors' prices, because they change and we would rather be useful than wrong.
ProperLease vs a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is free, familiar, and genuinely fine for a while. It stops being fine at the exact moment you need it most: a deposit dispute, a late payer, or an accountant asking for last year's numbers.
Read the comparisonProperLease vs QuickBooks
QuickBooks is a capable accounting package. It was built to run a business's books, not to manage tenancies, and the gap shows the first time you need a lease, a deposit balance, or a late rent notice.
Read the comparisonProperLease vs per-door property management software
The large platforms are built for property management companies with hundreds of units and staff to run them. If you own three doors and manage them yourself, you are paying for an org chart you do not have.
Read the comparisonProperLease vs paper and a filing cabinet
Paper has kept landlords honest for a century. What it cannot do is answer a question quickly, exist in two places at once, or survive a flood in the basement it is stored in.
Read the comparisonProperLease vs hiring a property manager
A manager is commonly paid a percentage of every rent cheque, for the life of the tenancy. Software is a fixed cost. The real question is not price, it is which parts of the job you actually want back.
