Where each one falls short

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

Lofty

  • No pricing published on website; quote-based model requires request form submission
  • Four tiers offered (Agent, Team, Broker, Enterprise) but specific seat counts or feature differences not disclosed

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.
