DoorLoop Review (2026): Pricing, Fees, and Who It's Really For

DoorLoop is an all-in-one property management platform with built-in accounting, leasing, and owner portals, aimed at landlords and professional property managers scaling into larger portfolios. Last reviewed August 2026.

Full disclosure: we build Vantric, which competes with DoorLoop — judge our take accordingly. Every price below comes from DoorLoop's own published pricing (verified 2026-08-28), and where DoorLoop is the better choice, we say so.

What DoorLoop costs

DoorLoop's Starter plan is $69/month billed annually ($99 billed monthly) and is capped at 10 units. Pro is $149/month billed annually ($189 monthly) and Premium is $209/month billed annually ($239 monthly), with pricing that scales with unit count (the site advertises 'Only $3/unit') and custom pricing above 300 units. At the time of verification the site advertised 30% off for 3 months and zero onboarding fees. eSignatures cost $3/document on Starter, $1/document on Pro, and are free on Premium.

What tenants pay

ACH payment fees are $2.49 per transaction on Starter, $0.99 on Pro, and free on Premium. Credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay payments carry a 3.25% platform fee on every plan (4% if international cards are accepted).

TransUnion-powered screening (credit, national criminal, and eviction) costs $45.00 per applicant. The landlord chooses whether the applicant or the landlord pays, and can mark up the application fee.

What DoorLoop does well

  • Full double-entry accounting is built in, including bank reconciliation, chart of accounts, and owner statements, without needing a third-party bookkeeping add-on.
  • It scales from small landlords to professional management companies, with owner portals, team roles, and a CRM in higher tiers.
  • Premium plan tenants pay no ACH fees, which removes the most common source of tenant friction with online rent payment.
  • Screening cost allocation is flexible: landlords can pass the $45 TransUnion screening to applicants or absorb it, and can mark up application fees.
  • The platform consolidates leasing, e-signatures, maintenance, communications, and marketing/listings in one system, reducing tool sprawl.

Where DoorLoop falls short

  • It is the most expensive of the three for small landlords: the minimum spend is $69/month billed annually ($828/year) even for one unit.
  • Tenant ACH fees on the Starter plan are $2.49 per transaction, higher than most small-landlord competitors, and eSignatures cost $3 per document on that tier.
  • The Starter plan is capped at 10 units, so landlords near that threshold are pushed to the much pricier Pro tier.
  • Users commonly report persistent upsell and sales outreach, and headline discounts (such as 30% off for 3 months) revert to notably higher ongoing prices.

Who should pick DoorLoop

Landlords and property managers with roughly 10+ units, or anyone managing on behalf of owners, who need real accounting, owner statements, and team workflows in one platform.

Who should look elsewhere: Side-hustle landlords with 1-8 units on a budget: at $828+/year minimum, DoorLoop costs several times more than flat-fee competitors whose feature set already covers small-portfolio needs.

DoorLoop is professional-grade software — real accounting, owner portals, team workflows — and if you manage 20+ doors or other people's properties, it's the better tool and we'll say so plainly. But it starts at /year, which is several times Vantric's –/month for a feature set a 1–10 unit landlord will mostly never open. Buy DoorLoop when you have staff. Until then you're paying for an office building to store a bicycle.

Frequently asked questions

Is DoorLoop free?

No. DoorLoop has no free plan; the Starter tier begins at $69/month billed annually ($99 month-to-month) and is limited to 10 units. It regularly runs promotions, such as 30% off the first 3 months with waived onboarding fees.

How much does DoorLoop cost?

Starter is $69/month billed annually ($99 monthly, max 10 units), Pro is $149/month billed annually ($189 monthly), and Premium is $209/month billed annually ($239 monthly), with pricing that scales with unit count and custom quotes above 300 units. Extras vary by tier, such as eSignatures at $3/document on Starter but free on Premium.

What fees do tenants pay with DoorLoop?

ACH fees depend on the landlord's plan: $2.49 per transaction on Starter, $0.99 on Pro, and free on Premium. Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay payments carry a 3.25% platform fee on all plans.

Is DoorLoop worth it for a small landlord?

For a landlord with only a few units, DoorLoop's minimum of $828/year buys genuinely strong accounting and automation, but most small landlords will not use the owner-portal and team features that justify the price. It becomes more cost-effective as unit count approaches and passes 10, when its per-unit economics and professional features start to matter.
