What DoorLoop costs you

  • The cheapest way in is $99 a month, or $828 a year paid up front. That is more than four years of Pro.
  • Billing steps up in blocks of 20 units, so the price rises as the portfolio does. Here it does not.
  • There is no free plan, so collecting a single month of rent means a subscription.

What you get here instead

  • One flat $15 a month at any number of units, so the price does not climb as the portfolio does.
  • Free for up to three properties with full rent collection, no trial clock and no card up front.
  • Set up in an afternoon and collect rent the same day, without onboarding or a subscription first.

The short version

DoorLoop starts at $99 a month, bills in blocks of 20 units so the price climbs as you grow, and has no free plan at all. RentMerchant is $15 a month flat however many doors you own, free for up to three properties, and you can be collecting rent the same afternoon.
