DoorLoop Pricing (2026): Plans, Fees and What Landlords Really Pay

Is DoorLoop worth it at your size

DoorLoop’s pricing has two parts: a per-unit rate and a monthly minimum. For landlords with fewer than 80 units, only the minimum matters.

Plan	Per unit	Monthly minimum	Units where per-unit passes the minimum
One	$2.50 ($1.50 above 100 units)	$199	80 (80 x $2.50 = $200)
Connect	$4.00	$299	75 (75 x $4 = $300)
Multiply	$5.00	$399	80 (80 x $5 = $400)

At 1 to 5 units, DoorLoop is hard to recommend. You’d pay $2,388 a year for software built for management companies. A free app like TurboTenant or Avail covers listing, screening, leases and rent for $0.

At 20 units, One works out to $9.95 per door per month. Buildium Essential is $3.10 per door at the same size, and RentRedi is $0.60.

At 40 units and up, One falls to $4.98 per door and keeps falling until 80 units. This is where DoorLoop’s extras (unlimited users, owner portals, a company website, an open API) start to justify the price, especially if you manage for other owners.

Who DoorLoop pricing suits

• Management companies with 40 or more doors, where owner portals and free owner payouts matter.
• Teams that need several logins. Unlimited users on every plan means the price doesn’t rise as you hire.
• Growing landlords close to 80 units, where the per-unit rate replaces the minimum and the per-door cost reaches $2.50.

It doesn’t suit a landlord with a few doors who manages only their own property. The minimum sets the price, and you’d pay for features you won’t use.

Landlord-paid and tenant-paid fees

Fee	One	Connect	Multiply	Who pays
Incoming ACH rent	$1.50	Free	Free	Tenant
Card payment	3.25% (4% international)	3.25%	3.25%	Tenant
Screening (TransUnion)	$35	$35	$35	Not stated; can be covered by your application fee
Renters insurance tracking	$3	$1	Free	Landlord
Outgoing vendor and owner payments	Free	Free	Free	n/a

The card fee comes from a help-center article that still uses DoorLoop’s older plan names (Starter, Pro, Premium), so confirm it before you quote it to tenants. On a $1,650 rent, 3.25% is $53.63.

The real yearly cost at 1, 5 and 20 units

Assuming DoorLoop One, monthly billing, and a $1,650 rent paid by ACH each month:

Units	You pay per year	Per door per month	Tenants pay in ACH fees per year
1	12 x $199 = $2,388	$199.00	12 x $1.50 = $18
5	$2,388	$39.80	60 x $1.50 = $90
20	$2,388	$9.95	240 x $1.50 = $360

Upgrading to Connect to remove the tenant ACH fee doesn’t pay at these sizes. At 20 units, Connect costs 12 x $299 = $3,588, which is $1,200 more than One, to save your tenants $360.

Add-ons and costs above the headline

The most common complaint about DoorLoop pricing in public reviews is that the real bill is higher than the advertised one. Things to ask about before you sign:

• E-signatures. DoorLoop’s older fee list shows $3 per e-signature request on the lowest tier. Ask whether that still applies to One.
• SMS credits. Text messaging to tenants is sold in credits.
• Websites and AI add-ons. Reviewers on older plans describe these as extras. On the current plans, a company website and the AI Assistant are included in One, and the AI agents come with Connect and Multiply.
• Plan thresholds. Reviewers say costs jump as unit counts cross plan lines, so get the price for the unit count you expect next year as well as today’s.

Ways to pay less

• Ask for annual billing in writing. DoorLoop says yearly billing saves up to 25%. On $2,388 a year, a full 25% would be $597, but the page doesn’t confirm the figure for any plan.
• Stay on One. At under 75 units, Connect and Multiply cost $1,200 to $2,400 a year more than One. Unless you need the AI receptionist or VIP support, One covers the core jobs.
• Wait until you’re closer to 40 units. If you’re at 15 units today and growing, a cheaper tool now and DoorLoop later costs less than paying the minimum for years.
• Pass screening to applicants through the optional application fee, within your state’s limits on application fees.

DoorLoop vs Buildium at 10, 20, 40 and 80 units

Buildium is the alternative most landlords weigh against DoorLoop, so here are both subscriptions side by side, on monthly billing.

Units	DoorLoop One	Per door	Buildium Essential	Per door
10	$199	$19.90	$62	$6.20
20	$199	$9.95	$62	$3.10
40	$199	$4.98	$62	$1.55
80	$200	$2.50	Quote above 40 units	n/a

Fees shift the picture slightly. DoorLoop One charges tenants $1.50 per ACH payment; Buildium Essential charges $2.35 per incoming EFT, paid by whoever you choose, plus $99 per business bank account. At 20 units, Buildium’s EFT fees come to 240 x $2.35 = $564 a year. Even with those fees and one bank account, Buildium’s first year at 20 units ($744 + $99 + $564 = $1,407) costs less than DoorLoop One’s subscription alone ($2,388).

What a 40-unit year on DoorLoop One looks like

At 40 units with every tenant paying by ACH:

• Subscription: 12 x $199 = $2,388, or $4.98 per door per month.
• Tenant ACH fees: 40 x 12 x $1.50 = $720 a year, paid by tenants.
• Screening: $35 per report, usually covered by your application fee.

That’s the size where DoorLoop starts to make sense for a landlord who also wants unlimited users and owner portals.

Cheaper options than DoorLoop

Buildium is the direct alternative for full property management. Essential costs $62 a month and stays there up to at least 40 units, so it’s $1,644 a year cheaper than DoorLoop One at any size under 40. Budget for its $2.35 incoming EFT fee and $99 per business bank account.

Rentec Direct offers full accounting from $25 a month on Starter for up to 10 properties.

For self-managing landlords, RentRedi costs $144 a year for unlimited units, and TurboTenant, Avail and Innago have free plans funded by tenant fees.
