Where each one falls short

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

Entrata

  • It is built for United States conventional multifamily, so commercial, self-storage, international or mixed-asset portfolios are either unsupported or awkward.
  • Ancillary services including payments, insurance and utility billing carry their own economics, so the licence quote understates the total value of the relationship and should be negotiated as a package.
  • Configuration depth for unusual ownership and fund structures is narrower than Yardi, which pushes complex owners back to a separate accounting layer.
  • Implementation and data migration take months with paid services, and portfolios migrating mid-year face a painful accounting cutover.
  • The founder and chairman resigned from the board in 2022 after sending an antisemitic email, and the executive team was rebuilt afterwards, so reference checks about long-term relationships should focus on current management rather than the historical reputation.

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

Entrata: Is Entrata pricing published?

No. It is quoted per unit per month on an annual contract, and modules such as insurance and utility billing are priced 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.

Entrata: How small can a portfolio be?

Practically around 5,000 units. Smaller operators find the contract minimums and implementation effort hard to justify.

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.

Entrata: Does it support commercial property?

Only lightly. It is a multifamily product, and mixed portfolios usually keep a second system for commercial assets.

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.
