Why Canadian property managers switch from Yardi

Yardi stretches to fit many markets.
Propra is built for Canada.

Yardi is a proven property management platform, but it was built by a US company to serve many countries and property types at once. Propra was built around Canadian property management from the start.

Canadian requirements, built in

GST/HST, Canadian payment rails and Canadian property management workflows are built into Propra's core platform, not add-ons or workarounds. Provincial regulation is part of that: lease forms, landlord-tenant requirements, rent increase guidelines and deposit handling differ in every province, and Propra is built to follow them.

Yardi: Breeze came to Canada in 2019 as an edition of a platform first built for the US market.

Local support

Get real support from a team that understands Canadian regulations, accounting and property management practices.

Yardi: Breeze Premier includes 16 free phone support hours in year one and 8 a year after that, with live chat for the rest.

Trust accounting built around Canadian operations

Keep trust and operating funds separated, with every transaction connected to the property, unit and underlying activity.

Yardi: trust accounting is available, but it's designed to fit many countries and property types rather than Canadian operations specifically.

A partner that gets it

We're an independent Canadian company focused on the unique needs of Canadian property managers.

Yardi: a privately held, US-headquartered company based in California.

Purpose-built AI

AI built for property management accounting, from bill scanning to bank matching and exception detection.

Yardi: Breeze Premier's AI covers invoice entry through Smart AP and an AI help assistant.

Is Yardi good for Canadian property managers?

Yardi works in Canada. It was built for the US first.

Monthly minimums on a 12-month contract

Breeze Premier pricing carries a monthly minimum on a one-year term that renews automatically, so smaller portfolios can end up paying for doors they don't manage.

Payment features like e-Transfer

Canadian tenants and owners expect local payment options such as e-Transfer. Yardi's Canadian payment processing covers PAD, cards and scanned cheques, but not e-Transfer, which adds manual steps for teams whose tenants pay that way.

Separate platforms as you grow

Breeze serves smaller portfolios and Voyager serves enterprise. They are separate products, and Voyager comes with custom-negotiated pricing and a longer configuration.

Phone support with a cap

Phone support on Breeze Premier comes with a set number of free hours each year, and extra time is billed by the hour. Live chat is available during business hours.

Pricing

Propra vs. Yardi pricing

A low per unit price is only part of the story. Monthly minimums, contract terms and add-ons decide what you actually pay.

Propra pricing From $3 CAD per door, per month

No minimum fee. Your rate depends on portfolio size and plan. Professional, the like-for-like match for Yardi Breeze Premier, is $6 CAD per door. Rent collection is included from the Essential plan up.

Where Yardi's costs add up

Yardi doesn't publish Canadian pricing. Its US list price for Breeze Premier is US$1 per unit, but the monthly minimum means a 50 unit portfolio pays US$8 per unit.

  • Breeze Premier residential rate, US list priceUS$1 per unit/mo
  • Monthly minimum, billed annuallyUS$400/moUS$8 per unit at 50 units and US$16 per unit at 25 units, before add-ons.
  • Contract term12 months, auto-renews
  • Resident screening and card paymentsCharged per transaction

Is Propra the right fit for you?

  • Do you manage property in Canada and need GST/PST/HST handled natively?
  • Is accounting getting harder to keep up with as your door count grows?
  • Would you like the option of full-service bookkeeping as you scale?
  • Is a monthly minimum making you pay for doors you don't manage?
  • Do your tenants want to pay rent by e-Transfer?
  • Would you rather stay on one platform as your portfolio grows?

If you answered yes to any of these, Propra is worth a closer look.
