Feature-by-feature breakdown
No spin. Just facts.
Buildium is great—if you're a property management company.
If you manage 50+ units professionally, Buildium's feature depth makes sense. But if you're a landlord with 1-20 properties who wants to stop using spreadsheets without signing up for enterprise software? That's exactly who Rentra is for. Same core features, fraction of the cost, none of the complexity.
Common questions
Can I migrate from Buildium to Rentra?
Yes. Export your data from Buildium and we'll help you get set up. Most landlords are fully migrated within a day. Your tenants just get a new payment link—no disruption to their autopay habits.
Does Rentra have everything Buildium has?
Not everything. Buildium has features designed for property management companies—like CAM reconciliation, investor reporting, and multi-entity accounting. If you need those, Buildium might be right for you. But if you just need rent collection, maintenance tracking, and financial reporting? Rentra has you covered at a fraction of the price.
Why is Rentra so much cheaper?
We're built specifically for small landlords. No enterprise sales team. No features you'll never use. No shareholders demanding we maximize revenue per customer. Just the tools you actually need, priced fairly.
