Where each one falls short

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

RealPage

  • Its revenue management product is the subject of US antitrust litigation alleging it enabled rent price coordination between landlords, which is a material consideration and not a resolved matter
  • Quote-only enterprise pricing with modules billed separately, so total cost is hard to establish up front
  • Implementation is a long project, and migrating portfolio accounting is genuinely disruptive
  • Aimed at large portfolios; small landlords find it far heavier than the problem

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

RealPage: What does RealPage cost?

Pricing is quoted per portfolio with modules billed separately, and is not published.

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.

RealPage: What is the antitrust case about?

US litigation alleges its revenue management product facilitated rent price coordination among landlords using shared market data. It is ongoing, and anyone evaluating the product should follow it.

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.

RealPage: Is it suitable for a small landlord?

No. It targets large multifamily and commercial portfolios, and the cost and implementation assume that scale.

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.
