Platuni vs Yardi Breeze
A landlord with 12 units reads that Yardi Breeze costs $1 per unit and expects a $12 bill. The pricing page then adds a $100 monthly minimum on an annual agreement, and the Premier tier's $400 minimum sits one row below. This comparison covers Yardi Breeze and Breeze Premier only, the products Yardi sells to small and mid-size landlords, not its enterprise software.

The trade-offs
Where each one comes out ahead
Where Yardi Breeze is the stronger pick
Yardi Breeze is accounting-led. Escrow and trust accounts, owner payments with reserves, report packets by owner and 1099 e-filing are listed on the pricing page, and the general ledger deepens on Premier. A manager who holds funds for other owners and files tax forms gets these inside the software.
At 100 units and above the price per unit is competitive too, and implementation and training come without a fee.
Where Platuni is the stronger pick
Platuni charges per unit with no minimum on Starter, so a small portfolio pays for the units it has. Growth adds rules and deadlines by jurisdiction for Canada and the US, a compliance assistant and per-room leases, and the trial runs 30 days with no card.
The trade-offs are real. Platuni lists no trust accounting and no 1099 forms, and at 150 units Yardi Breeze's $150 is lower than Platuni Growth's USD $223.50.
