  • Each has a real cost: Matterport the free plan allows 1 active space and 2 users; Rent Manager the interface is dense and dated relative to newer cloud products, so onboarding site staff takes longer and training costs are real.
  • They diverge on capability: Matterport covers 3D capture, Rent Manager covers Mixed portfolio support.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Rent Manager

  • The interface is dense and dated relative to newer cloud products, so onboarding site staff takes longer and training costs are real.
  • Pricing is quoted with monthly minimums, which makes portfolios under roughly 100 units poor value compared with published per-unit competitors.
  • Useful reporting depends on someone learning the report writer, and firms that never assign that role end up exporting to spreadsheets anyway.
  • Mobile applications lag the desktop experience, so field staff get a narrower feature set than office users.
  • The partner and integration ecosystem is smaller than Yardi or RealPage, so specialist proptech tools more often need custom API work than an off-the-shelf connector.
