Pricing analysis

Hemlane pricing by unit count in 2026

Hemlane pricing is unusual because the paid tiers combine a fixed platform fee with per-unit pricing, and the more expensive tiers add operational services—not just extra software features. That makes unit count especially important.

Research standard: plan and pricing details are checked against vendor-published sources. When exact portfolio pricing is not public, we label it quote-dependent rather than inventing a number. See our methodology.

Current published structure: Starter is free. Basic is $28/month plus $2 per unit, Essential is $28 plus $20 per unit, and Complete is $28 plus $58 per unit. Hemlane advertises savings of up to 20% with annual billing.

These are arithmetic examples using Hemlane's currently published monthly platform fee and per-unit amounts. They do not include annual-billing discounts, optional add-ons or any separately priced local services.

Why Basic and Complete should not be compared as if they were the same product

Basic is primarily a software tier. Essential adds end-to-end repair coordination and 24/7 emergency support. Complete goes further with tenant communications and access to local operational resources. In other words, the price gap is not simply a premium-software markup; it reflects a different level of service.

That distinction matters when comparing Hemlane with lower-cost landlord software. A $0 or low-cost software platform may still be the better value for a hands-on owner, while Hemlane may make more sense for an owner trying to buy back time.

What Hemlane costs at 25 units

At 25 units, the simple monthly calculation is $78 for Basic, $528 for Essential and $1,478 for Complete. The decision at this size should center on how much maintenance coordination and tenant communication you want the platform to absorb.

What Hemlane costs at 50 units

At 50 units, Basic calculates to $128/month before any annual discount. Essential calculates to $1,028/month and Complete to $2,928/month. At this point, buyers should compare not only software competitors but also the cost of staff time, outsourced maintenance coordination and local property-management services.

What Hemlane costs at 100 units

At 100 units, Basic calculates to $228/month, while the service-heavy tiers rise much more sharply. For a professional manager or a large self-managed portfolio, this is where it becomes especially important to compare Hemlane against both software-only systems and the real cost of hiring people to perform the same work.

Is Hemlane expensive?

It depends on which tier you are evaluating. Basic remains relatively modest because the per-unit amount is low. Essential and Complete are much more expensive because they include service components. A fair comparison should therefore separate software cost from outsourced operational work.

Alternatives to compare

  • Innago: no monthly landlord software subscription, with transaction and applicant fees forming part of the business model.
  • RentRedi: a flat subscription benchmark for self-managed portfolios.
  • Buildium: a professional property-management benchmark when accounting, owner reporting and team operations are central.
  • Stessa: particularly relevant for owner-investors focused on portfolio finance and reporting.

Decision rule: if you mainly want software, compare Hemlane Basic with software-only competitors. If you are evaluating Essential or Complete, compare against the cost of the human work being outsourced as well.
