The short version
- Each has a real cost: BoomTown pricing across its four tiers (Launch, Core, Grow, Advance) is not published; the site directs buyers to request a demo or call sales instead of listing a figure for any tier; Buildium prices are all quoted as starting figures, from $62 a month on Essential to $400 on Premium, so the real cost depends on unit count
