Buildium vs. Alternatives in 2023

Estate management software like Appfolio Property Managers, Yardi Breeze, RealPage, and Zillow offer competition to Buildium. In critical areas, Buildium is compared to its competitors below:
  • Functionality: Most of the software have similar features. However, Buildium offers a free marketing website that Yardi, Appfolio, RealPage, and Zillow do not offer, although they all have a rental portal for tenants. Buildium and Zillow come with an open API, while the others do not. Also, Buildium supports community association management which Yardi Breeze and Appfolio also support.
  • Cost: Buildium pricing is rated less expensive than its competitors. The starting price for the least plan on Buildium is $50/month, while Yardi offers $100/month, and Appfolio starts at $280/month. Both RealPage and Zillow, however, do not disclose their pricing publicly and do not have free trial versions. Free versions are unavailable for all.
  • Customer Support: Buildium offers phone support, onboarding, and In-Person training. Live chat feature is also supported, unlike in Zillow. Appfolio also supports live chat, but training is entirely online. RealPage and Yardi Breeze also offer online training and support.
  • Customers/Industries: Buildium targets estate managers in residential accommodation, commercial property, community association, student lodging, and so does Appfolio. Zillow is suited to landlords, while RealPage and Yardi do not have as many targets as their competitors.
  • Cloud-based/On-Premises: Buildium and its competitors are all cloud-based software.
  • Popularity: Having managed clients in over 50 different countries, Buildium compares favorably with its competition regarding popularity and reach. Appfolio and Buildium are the more popular software solutions among the group.
  • Scalability: Buildium is more suited to mid-sized and large-scale firms, as its costs price out most small businesses. RealPage and Zillow suit growing businesses, while Appfolio and YardiBreeze can help much larger businesses.
