Frequently asked questions
- How does IONROI pricing compare to AppFolio?
- IONROI starts free for a single property and scales to AED 99 per month for up to 10 properties on the Pro plan, with no minimum unit requirements. AppFolio requires a minimum of 50 units and charges a per-unit monthly fee, making it cost-prohibitive for independent landlords or investors with fewer than 50 units.
- Does IONROI have all the features AppFolio has?
- IONROI delivers the ROI analytics, lease management, rent tracking, and maintenance tools that most individual investors need. AppFolio has a broader enterprise feature set including an AI leasing assistant, US-specific e-signature workflows, and a larger third-party integration ecosystem that IONROI does not currently match at the enterprise level.
- Who should choose AppFolio over IONROI?
- AppFolio is the right choice for large US property management companies with 50 or more units that need enterprise automation, built-in e-signatures with US lease compliance, and a full ecosystem of integrations. If you are managing at scale in the US market with a large team, AppFolio is purpose-built for that context.
- How do I migrate from AppFolio to IONROI?
- Export your property and tenant records from AppFolio and set up each property in IONROI with purchase price, market value, and currency. Recreate active leases and occupant profiles, then use IONROI's historical income import to capture any rental income that predates the migration. The process for a 5-10 property portfolio typically takes a few hours.
