Proprietio vs Hemlane
An honest comparison — features, pricing, where each platform genuinely wins. Last verified 2026-07-06.
You own units in markets where you don't live and want optional boots on the ground — a leasing agent to run showings or a 24/7 maintenance dispatch service — without hiring a full property manager, and you're willing to pay per unit plus human-service add-ons for that coverage.
You want flat-tier pricing instead of per-unit-plus-add-ons, real property accounting (double-entry GL, 1099s, bidirectional QuickBooks), AI features (lease drafting, bill scan, maintenance triage), HOA / condo / commercial workflows, bilingual EN/ES, or you self-manage and don't need Hemlane's outsourced human services.
What you'd pay at your portfolio size
Hemlane is paid-only (no free tier), a hybrid base + per-unit model with no minimum. Verified tiers (Jul 2026, cross-checked across G2, Capterra, SoftwareFinder, ITQlick): Basic $28 base + $2/unit/mo; Essential $28 base + $20/unit/mo; Complete $28 base + $58/unit/mo (adds human-assisted leasing + 24/7 maintenance coordination). Using the leasing service adds a placement fee — typically about one month's rent, set by the local agent (Hemlane takes no cut). Tenant ACH is free; card is 3%; screening is $40/applicant (TransUnion, $20 cap in NY), applicant-paid.

Where Hemlane wins
- Optional human-assisted leasing. Hemlane's leasing-agent network lets a local agent run showings, screen applicants to your criteria, and hand you a signed lease — genuinely valuable when you own units in a market where you can't show them yourself.
- 24/7 maintenance dispatch. On the Complete tier, after-hours calls route to vetted vendors so a remote owner isn't the one answering the 2am pipe-burst call. That's a real service business inside the software.
- Hybrid coverage without hiring a full PM. For 5–50 units owned across markets, Hemlane's per-unit-plus-services model gives predictable boots-on-the-ground help at a fraction of a full property manager.
- State-specific, attorney-reviewed lease templates. State-aware defaults with eSign included — comparable compliance depth to the DIY-toolkit category.
Where Proprietio wins
- Flat pricing that doesn't escalate. Proprietio's flat tiers ($29 → $299) vs Hemlane's per-unit rate plus human-service add-ons and per-placement leasing fees that can rival paying a small local PM company at scale.
- AI features Hemlane doesn't have. Lease drafting ($3), maintenance triage ($1/ticket), and bill-scan-from-photo ($0.50) are in-product — repo sources confirm AI is 'not in product' for Hemlane.
- Real property accounting. Built-in double-entry GL, 1099 forms, and bidirectional QuickBooks sync (Pro+). Hemlane offers basic income/expense tracking and simple owner reports — operators routinely run QuickBooks on the side.
- Verticals Hemlane doesn't cover. Dedicated HOA/condo and commercial-RE product lines plus bilingual EN/ES (§1632). Hemlane is a residential product with no CAM reconciliation, percentage rent, or escalation logic.
- Self-serve start. A 15-day trial with no card and no sales call. Hemlane is paid-only with no free tier.
Frequently asked
Is Proprietio cheaper than Hemlane?▾
For most operators, yes — and the gap widens with human services. Proprietio's flat tiers run $29 → $299 regardless of door count. Hemlane's verified rates (Jul 2026): Basic $28 base + $2/unit/mo, Essential $28 + $20/unit/mo (~$1,028/mo at 50 units), Complete $28 + $58/unit/mo — plus a leasing placement fee (~one month's rent) when you use the leasing service. Where Hemlane earns its keep is the human services, not the sticker price.
Does Proprietio offer human leasing and maintenance services like Hemlane?▾
No — and we're honest about that. Hemlane's leasing-agent network and 24/7 maintenance coordination are its real differentiator for remote owners. Proprietio is software: listings, applicant pipeline, AI maintenance triage, and vendor coordination, but you (or your own vendors) handle showings and dispatch. If outsourced boots-on-the-ground is the whole reason you're shopping, Hemlane's Complete tier is the right tool.
