Enterprise PM software comparison
A side-by-side look at Revun and AppFolio for operators weighing an all-in-one platform against an enterprise US suite.
The short version
AppFolio is a mature, well-built platform aimed at mid-market and enterprise US residential portfolios. It is a strong product for large operators who live entirely in the United States and have the volume to clear its minimums. For owners and managers who work across Canada and the US, or who do not want communications and screening sold as separate line items, Revun is the more complete fit.

Why operators switch
AppFolio publishes a per-unit rate with a monthly minimum that prices out smaller portfolios. Revun is flat per door with no unit minimum, so a 12-unit operator pays for 12 units.
AppFolio is built around US workflows. Revun ships provincial and state compliance, the right payment rails for each country, and bilingual tenant workflows in the same product.
AppFolio sells communications tooling and several screening and reporting capabilities as add-ons. Revun bundles native comms and full screening into the platform price.
