The short version

  • Only CREXi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CREXi the genuinely useful lead-conversion features, full contact details and priority placement, sit behind PRO subscriptions with unpublished pricing, so the free tier is a lighter product than it first appears.; Yardi Voyager implementation frequently costs as much as or more than the first year of licence fees, and the contract clock usually starts before the portfolio is live.
  • They diverge on capability: CREXi covers Free unlimited listings, Yardi Voyager covers Full property accounting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

CREXi

  • The genuinely useful lead-conversion features, full contact details and priority placement, sit behind PRO subscriptions with unpublished pricing, so the free tier is a lighter product than it first appears.
  • CREXi Intelligence is sold as a separate product from PRO listing subscriptions, so a broker wanting both marketing tools and data access is paying two distinct, unpublished prices rather than one bundled fee.
  • As a newer entrant against CoStar decades of proprietary data collection, CREXi Intelligence coverage and data quality in less-active markets may not match CoStar depth.
  • Auction infrastructure is a differentiator but only useful for sellers actually wanting a bid-based process, which is a minority of commercial transactions.
  • Free-tier listings compete for visibility against PRO-tier paid placement, so a broker relying only on the free product accepts lower search prominence than paying competitors.

Yardi Voyager

  • Implementation frequently costs as much as or more than the first year of licence fees, and the contract clock usually starts before the portfolio is live.
  • Module-based pricing means the quoted per-unit rate covers far less than most operators assume, and adding resident portals, procurement or utility billing repeatedly reopens the budget.
  • Reporting beyond the standard set often requires Yardi consultants or a specialist partner, so internal teams stay dependent on paid services for routine changes.
  • Parts of the interface remain dense and dated, which lengthens onboarding for site staff and drives some operators to buy a separate front-end product.
  • Exporting a full portfolio history to another platform is slow and costly, so switching decisions are effectively made once a decade rather than at each renewal.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CREXi: Is CREXi really free?

The core marketplace, including unlimited listings, is free. PRO subscriptions and CREXi Intelligence data are separate paid products layered on top.

Yardi Voyager: Does Yardi publish Voyager pricing?

No. Only Breeze, the small portfolio product, has published per-unit rates. Voyager is quoted per unit per module against annual minimums.

CREXi: Is CREXi Intelligence the same as PRO?

No. PRO is about listing placement and lead tools; Intelligence is a standalone property data product with 153 million-plus records, priced and sold separately.

Yardi Voyager: How long does implementation take?

Months rather than weeks for anything beyond a small single-asset-class portfolio, and professional services are charged separately.

CREXi: Does CREXi compete with CoStar or LoopNet?

Yes on both fronts: the marketplace competes with LoopNet for listings, and CREXi Intelligence competes with CoStar and Reonomy for property data.

Yardi Voyager: Is Voyager suitable under 1,000 units?

Usually not. Yardi steers smaller portfolios to Breeze or Breeze Premier, and the Voyager cost structure rarely justifies itself at that size.
