Platuni vs TenantCloud (2026): Pricing, Features & Who Each Is For

At the entry level, Platuni and TenantCloud solve the same everyday problems in almost the same way. Both accept rent through ACH bank transfer, debit, and credit card, and both let you turn on autopay so tenants don't have to remember a due date every month. Both generate a digital lease from a template and collect an e-signature instead of a wet-ink one. Both track income and expenses well enough to hand a landlord a basic report at tax time, though TenantCloud's tax forms and bank reconciliation sit behind its higher Pro tier. And both ship a tenant-facing portal, on web and mobile, so residents can pay rent and file a maintenance request without calling anyone.

The one open question in this comparison is whether Platuni passes any transaction fee to the tenant or landlord the way TenantCloud does. Platuni's own FAQ states there are no hidden fees, but that isn't the same as a published $0 processing cost.

Bed-Level Leasing & Roommate Sub-Units

This is where a shared house or a four-bedroom near campus breaks conventional software. A standard tool sees one property, one lease, one rent roll line. But four roommates often pay four different rates, sign four different lease terms, and move out on four different dates. TenantCloud's own data model tracks a unit's bed and bath count as a property attribute, the same way it tracks square footage, not as four separate billable leases. There is no per-bed ledger, no independent balance per roommate, and no dedicated guarantor-per-bed structure anywhere in TenantCloud's published features.

Platuni handles this in two steps depending on tier. Growth adds room-level sub-units with shared common spaces and a per-room lock-in system, useful for a duplex or a triplex with separate roommate agreements. Enterprise goes further with full bed-level tracking, room type support, and flexible sharing and lock-in types built for houses, dorms, and corporate housing at scale. If your properties still rent as whole units to one tenant or one family, none of this matters. If you already juggle roommate turnover on a spreadsheet, it's the reason to look past Growth toward Enterprise.

The Compliance Workspace

Compliance is the row where the two products stop looking similar at all. TenantCloud's Growth plan includes state-specific landlord forms, which helps with paperwork, but that's a forms library, not a system that tracks a deadline or flags an expiring certificate. There's no requirements engine, no document-expiry alerts, and no audit trail anywhere in TenantCloud's published feature set.

Platuni treats compliance as its own workspace rather than a folder of PDFs. At Growth, it's available as a paid add-on. At Enterprise, a full compliance suite ships built in, covering LIHTC, student housing, and other regulated workflows, alongside document storage, safety-check tracking, and audit-ready records for shared-living properties. Worth saying plainly, Platuni's own FAQ is careful here too. It states that local regulations vary and that property teams remain responsible for compliance within their own jurisdiction. That's the right framing. Software can track deadlines and hold your documents; it can't replace knowing your local housing code. If your portfolio touches LIHTC, multiple jurisdictions, or a second state, this is the row that should decide the comparison, not the price table above it.

Pricing at 1, 10 and 50 Units

At one unit, the comparison is simple. Platuni's Starter plan costs $0 a month and stays free at that size. TenantCloud has no equivalent; its entry point is the Starter plan at $18 a month, or $15 a month if you commit to annual billing. There is no free tier to fall back to.

At ten units, the picture gets murkier than either vendor's marketing suggests. Platuni's Growth plan is priced at $13.99 a month, and its own pricing page caps that plan at exactly ten units, so a ten-unit landlord lands right at the ceiling of that tier. TenantCloud is harder to pin down. Its official comparison table lists "unlimited" properties and units across every plan, but at least one independent 2026 review of the same pricing page describes lease caps of 10, 30, and 60 leases on the Starter, Growth, and Pro plans respectively. Until that's resolved, the honest answer is that TenantCloud's ten-unit cost sits somewhere in the $18 to $35 a month range depending on which limit turns out to be real.

At fifty units, Platuni moves out of Growth and into Enterprise, which is priced by quote rather than published rate; a fifty-unit or larger operator needs to request a demo to get a number. TenantCloud's Pro plan, at $60 a month ($50 annually), is the more likely fit if the 60-lease cap holds, though Business tier custom pricing starting near $100 a month would apply if fifty units triggers a team-tools requirement.

Where TenantCloud Is Stronger

Two things TenantCloud does better than most software in its price range, including Platuni's entry tiers. The first is accounting depth. TenantCloud gives you a real general ledger, per-property income and expense tracking, and tax-ready reports that reviewers repeatedly call a "quiet strength," the kind of bookkeeping that can genuinely replace a spreadsheet or a bolt-on QuickBooks habit. Platuni's Starter and Growth tiers offer basic tracking and analytics dashboards, but nothing in its published feature list claims a comparable general ledger.

The second is track record. TenantCloud has been running since 2014, serves over 100,000 landlords by its own count, and carries 451 verified reviews on Capterra at a 4.3 average. Platuni, as of this writing, shows zero reviews on Trustpilot and no visible listing on Capterra. That doesn't make Platuni's product worse, but it does mean you're taking more on faith, and less on other landlords' word, when you sign up.

Who Each Platform Is Actually Built For

TenantCloud fits a specific, well-served buyer: a self-managing landlord or small operator with roughly 3 to 60 units, who wants real accounting and a decade of feature polish, and who rents standard units to standard tenants. If that's your portfolio, TenantCloud's $18 to $60 a month range is hard to argue with, and you'll have 100,000 other landlords' worth of forum threads and reviews to lean on when something breaks.

Platuni fits a buyer TenantCloud wasn't built for: someone starting at zero units and zero budget, someone leasing by the bed or the room, or an operator whose portfolio is about to run into LIHTC, campus housing, or a second regulatory jurisdiction. The free Starter tier serves the first case well. The Enterprise tier, with its compliance suite and full bed-level tracking, serves the other two. The gap in the middle, a ten to fifty unit landlord with no shared-living or compliance need, is genuinely a toss-up between the two products.

Migration: Moving from TenantCloud to Platuni

Leaving TenantCloud is the easy half of this move. TenantCloud's own support documentation confirms you can export your leases, transactions, reports, and documents as a downloadable archive before you cancel, and their pricing FAQ states plainly that "your data is yours." For larger portfolios or Business-tier accounts, TenantCloud will even help with the migration itself, importing units, leases, tenants, and financials on their end when you're setting up. In practice, that means the data you'll be bringing over exists in a clean, exportable format: unit and lease records, tenant contact and payment history, and financial reports.
