Where each one falls short

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

Hemlane

  • The local agent network is the reason to buy the top tier and its coverage is uneven, so a property in a smaller market may be served by an agent with little capacity or none at all; verify the specific market before signing.
  • Pricing is a base charge per property plus a charge per unit, so a portfolio spread across many small buildings pays far more than one with the same unit count in a single building.
  • The accounting is landlord-oriented with no trust accounting or owner statements, which rules it out entirely for anyone managing property on behalf of other owners.
  • It is built for small portfolios, so the reporting, bulk operations and staff permission model all become limiting above roughly twenty units.
  • Commercial and HOA property are not supported in any meaningful way, so a mixed portfolio needs a second system.

Matterport

  • The free plan allows 1 active space and 2 users
  • The plans page shows no dollar amounts; price is set by the number of active spaces and only appears after selecting a plan
  • Paid plans are billed annually and each tier caps both active spaces and users, from 5 to 20 spaces and 3 users on Starter up to 100 to 300 spaces and 50 users on Business
  • Enterprise and government plans are contact sales with no published rate
  • Spaces beyond the plan allowance require moving to a higher tier rather than paying an incremental fee shown on the page

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hemlane: What does the local agent actually do?

On the top tier they show the unit to applicants, meet contractors, and carry out move-in and move-out inspections. They do not select the tenant or set the rent; you keep those decisions.

Matterport: Does Matterport offer a free account option?

Yes, Matterport offers a 'Start Free' option that allows users to create accounts and begin using the platform without immediate payment.

Hemlane: How does the cost compare with a full-service manager?

A full-service manager typically charges eight to ten per cent of collected rent plus a leasing fee. Hemlane charges a flat amount per property and per unit, which is usually cheaper on a well-performing rental and more expensive on a cheap one.

Matterport: How can I access Matterport's pricing details?

Specific pricing information is available on a dedicated Pricing page or by contacting Matterport's sales team at +1(888) 993-8990 or through the 'Get a Demo' option.

Hemlane: Is agent coverage nationwide?

Coverage is broad in large metropolitan areas and patchy elsewhere. Ask Hemlane to name the agent for your specific market before you buy the tier that depends on one.

Matterport: What industries can use Matterport's solutions?

Matterport serves multiple industries including Corporate Real Estate, Property Marketing, Facilities Management, and Design & Construction, suggesting pricing may vary by industry use case.

Hemlane: Can property managers use it?

No. There is no trust accounting and no owner statement capability, so it is for owners managing their own property.
