What is PropertyFolio?

PropertyFolio is AI-powered property management software for landlords. It tracks rent, expenses, and ROI across your rental properties, parses documents with AI, generates legally compliant 50-state leases, collects rent online, and analyzes investment properties — all from the web or a native mobile app.

Who is PropertyFolio for?

PropertyFolio is built for individual and small-portfolio landlords — typically those managing 3 to 20 units who have outgrown spreadsheets — as well as small property management teams. It supports single-family homes, condos, and multi-family/apartment buildings.

How much does PropertyFolio cost?

PropertyFolio has a free plan that includes 2 properties. Paid plans are Starter ($9/mo, 5 properties), Growth ($19/mo, 15 properties, includes a 7-day free trial), Plus ($49/mo, 50 properties), and a custom Enterprise tier for larger portfolios.

Can PropertyFolio collect rent online?

Yes. Tenants can pay rent online by card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, or Google Pay through Stripe, with recurring auto-pay and shareable payment links. Landlords can also record manual payments such as Zelle, cash, check, or Venmo.

Does PropertyFolio generate lease agreements?

Yes. PropertyFolio generates legally compliant residential lease agreements for all 50 US states plus DC, with state-specific clauses and disclosures, and collects legally binding e-signatures from landlords and tenants.

Does PropertyFolio have a mobile app?

Yes. PropertyFolio has native iOS and Android apps for both landlords and tenants, so you can manage properties, sign leases, and pay rent on the go.

PropertyFolio vs AppFolio
