Where each one falls short

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

DoorLoop

  • Pricing is per unit against a monthly minimum, so a 20 unit portfolio pays the same as one two or three times the size and the real cost per unit lands far above the advertised figure.
  • Payment processing margin is part of how the vendor earns, so the subscription understates total cost: card fees are usually passed to residents, ACH terms differ by plan, and the spread is not negotiable at small volumes.
  • First term pricing is discounted aggressively, which means the renewal quote is materially higher than the number that won the deal, and the deeper discounts are attached to multi-year commitments.
  • Commercial lease administration is shallow: CAM reconciliation, percentage rent and complex escalation schedules are not handled at the level a mixed commercial and residential portfolio requires.
  • The vendor is younger than Buildium, AppFolio or Yardi, so the third-party integration catalogue and the pool of consultants who can migrate legacy data are both much smaller.

Follow Up Boss

  • Pro plan is priced for a 10 user minimum at $499 per month, with additional seats at $49 per month each
  • Platform plan requires a 30 user minimum at $1,000 per month
  • Calling is not included on the entry Grow plan and costs an extra $39 per user per month
  • Discounted per user rates require annual billing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

DoorLoop: What does it actually cost for a 20 unit portfolio?

You pay the monthly minimum, not 20 times the per unit rate, so the effective cost per unit is several times the headline. Ask for the minimum in writing before you discuss the per unit figure.

Follow Up Boss: What is the cheapest Follow Up Boss plan?

The Grow plan starts at $69 per user per month. This includes basic features like lead organization, smart lists, automation, calling, texting, email, and mobile app access. Add-ons like calling features may incur additional charges.

Source
DoorLoop: Does DoorLoop handle trust accounting?

Yes. The ledger is double entry with separate trust and operating accounts, owner draws and statements, which is what state licensing audits look for.

Follow Up Boss: How many users are included in Follow Up Boss plans?

Grow is priced per user. Pro includes 10 users for $499/month with additional users at $49/month. Platform includes 30 users for $1,000/month with additional users at $20/month. The Pro and Platform tiers offer significant per-user discounts for additional team members.

Source
DoorLoop: Who pays the card fee on rent?

Normally the resident. ACH pricing varies by plan and by negotiated volume, and processing is where a meaningful share of the vendor revenue comes from.

Follow Up Boss: Does Follow Up Boss offer a free trial?

Yes, Follow Up Boss offers a 14-day free trial with easy migration and no contracts required. All plans include 7-day/week phone and email support, unlimited contacts, lead sources, and integrations.

DoorLoop: Is it suitable for commercial property?

For simple commercial leases yes. For CAM reconciliation, percentage rent or institutional reporting you want Yardi or MRI instead.
