Platuni vs DoorLoop
A landlord with 25 units opens DoorLoop's pricing page, multiplies 25 by $2.50, gets $62.50, and then reads the line underneath: minimum of $199 per month. That gap between the per-unit rate and the floor is where this comparison starts.

The trade-offs
Where each one comes out ahead
Where DoorLoop is the stronger pick
DoorLoop is built for managers who run the books. Trust accounting is documented in its help center, 1099 forms and QuickBooks sync sit on the pricing table, and owners get statements, distributions and automatic management fees. API access and Zapier come with every plan, and the AI agents on Connect and Multiply handle tenant messages, maintenance and renewals.
If you run 80 or more units, its $199 minimum no longer matters, and those features may be worth more than a lower subscription.
Where Platuni is the stronger pick
Platuni charges per unit with no floor, so a landlord with 20 doors pays USD $19.80 a month on Starter instead of a $199 minimum. The trial runs 30 days with no card, where DoorLoop lists a demo only.
The larger difference is compliance and geography. Growth tracks the rules and deadlines that apply to each property in Canada and the US, and Platuni's rent payments and screening work in both countries. DoorLoop's pricing page lists no local rules tracker, and its Canada page dates from 2023. Platuni lists trust accounting, 1099 forms and QuickBooks nowhere, so a manager who needs those should look at DoorLoop first.
