Frequently asked questions
Is PropVecto a good AppFolio alternative?
It depends on your portfolio. PropVecto is built for landlords and small property managers who want a branded website, manager dashboard, and tenant portal in one no-code system with no monthly subscription. AppFolio may suit larger or different workflows — compare the features that matter to you.
What makes PropVecto different?
PropVecto includes a fully branded public website, manager dashboard, and tenant portal as one connected system, free forever with no code. You only pay a small processing fee when a tenant pays rent online, and you choose who covers it.
Is PropVecto free forever?
Yes. There is no setup fee or monthly subscription to launch your branded website, dashboard, and tenant portal. A small processing fee applies only when rent is paid online (3.75% card, 2.5% ACH), and you choose whether you or the tenant covers it.
