How Yardi prices
Yardi publishes no pricing anywhere on its site — every visitor is routed straight to a sales conversation, consistent with its enterprise/institutional focus.
At a glance
| Direct PMS | Yardi | |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks, not a multi-quarter rollout | Priced and onboarded per unit — go live in weeks against a fixed per-unit cost. | Yardi publishes no pricing anywhere on its site and routes every visitor to a sales conversation — consistent with rollouts measured in quarters and five figures. |
| Right-sized for a portfolio, not an enterprise | The same deposit, arrears and SLA discipline, without negotiating an enterprise contract to get it. | Yardi is built for institutional scale — a mid-sized commercial portfolio can end up paying for infrastructure sized for someone much larger. |
| Property types included, not licensed separately | Shops, offices and plots are first-class types in the base registry from day one. | Enterprise suites at Yardi's scale typically involve a sales conversation about which modules and property types are included in your contract. |
| Published pricing | Free to 2 properties, then from $50/month plus a per-property fee. Every figure is on the pricing page. | Yardi publishes no pricing anywhere on its site — every visitor is routed straight to a sales conversation, consistent with its enterprise/institutional focus. |

The honest objection
"We're already partway through a Yardi implementation."
That's real sunk cost, and worth weighing honestly. What it's usually weighed against is a multi-quarter, five-figure-plus rollout for discipline — deposits, arrears, SLA-tracked work orders — that a right-sized platform delivers in weeks, priced per unit instead of by enterprise contract.
Switching from Yardi
Yardi exports are typically large, structured data sets your team controls — we've built migrations around exactly that shape before; it's a data-mapping project, not a from-scratch setup.
What you get that Yardi doesn't cover
Direct PMS runs every business line on one registry — you only subscribe to the modules you use.
Leases with deposits held on the ledger, monthly invoicing, arrears aging in the rent-roll matrix, notice and end-of-term flows that release the space automatically.
Work orders with priority and SLA, asset registers for plant and equipment, site staff attendance with vendor billing.
Dispositions and strata resales with commissions posting straight to the books.
Fit-out packages for incoming tenants — quote, approve, invoice.
Auditoriums, event spaces and flexible suites can sell by the day.
