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; Propertyware pricing is per unit against a monthly minimum and there is a separate implementation fee, usually a multiple of the monthly subscription, so first-year cost is well above twelve times the running rate.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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

Propertyware

  • Pricing is per unit against a monthly minimum and there is a separate implementation fee, usually a multiple of the monthly subscription, so first-year cost is well above twelve times the running rate.
  • Propertyware sits inside RealPage alongside strategic enterprise platforms, so the practical risk is not that it stops working but that it receives maintenance rather than development; ask for a written roadmap and end-of-life notice period.
  • The interface is dated relative to newer cloud entrants, and the configurability that makes it capable also makes it slow to set up, which is why implementation is chargeable in the first place.
  • It is built for scattered-site single-family stock, so apartment community workflows, commercial leases and HOA management are all poorly served.
  • RealPage is the defendant in United States antitrust litigation concerning its revenue management software, which does not affect this product directly but is a factor when you are weighing a multi-year contract with the parent.

Propertyware: Is Propertyware still being developed?

That is the question to put to the vendor in writing. It belongs to RealPage, whose development focus is its enterprise multifamily platforms, so ask for a release history and a stated end-of-life notice period.

Propertyware: Why is there an implementation fee?

Because the product is configured rather than switched on. Custom fields, portals and owner fee rules are set up during onboarding, and the fee is typically a multiple of the monthly subscription.

Propertyware: Does it work for apartment communities?

Not well. It is designed for scattered-site single-family portfolios; apartment operators are steered towards other RealPage products.

Propertyware: Can I get my data out?

Yes, through the open API and standard exports, which is worth exercising during evaluation rather than at the point you decide to leave.
