Some firms want capabilities that go beyond the platform we ship to every customer. We build them on a per-project basis, scoped and quoted before any work starts. Your monthly fee stays $599.
Most requested
Native iOS & Android mobile app
A branded native mobile app for your tenants, owners, or agents. Push notifications for rent due, maintenance updates, and lease renewals. Biometric login. Camera-based maintenance ticket creation. Published to the App Store and Google Play under your firm's name.
- Same look and feel as your web platform
- Built on a shared codebase so feature work ports automatically
- App Store and Google Play submission handled end to end
- Ongoing updates included after launch
Build & submission
Quoted at scoping
Typical range: $8k–$18k depending on which portal(s) you ship. 4–6 week build alongside the main platform.
Already responsive on mobile
Most firms launch without it.
The Folio web platform is fully mobile-responsive. Owners, tenants, and agents can do every important workflow from a mobile browser — pay rent, submit a work order with a photo, view lease documents, check the leasing pipeline. Roughly 70% of our customers never request the native app.
The native app earns its keep when push notifications and offline access matter to your business — high-end portfolios where tenants expect a polished app, or firms with field-based maintenance teams who lose connectivity on-site.
If you're not sure whether you need it, we'll talk through it on the scoping call. No pressure to add it.
Pricing questions, answered.
Is the $599 / month rate really locked forever?
Yes for founding clients (limited to the first 10 firms). After the founding cohort, the standard rate will reset higher for new customers; founding clients keep $599/month for the life of their account, regardless of feature additions or portfolio growth.
What happens at 1,000 units? Do you start charging per-unit?
No. The flat fee is the entire pricing model. A 1,000-unit firm pays the same $599/month as a 150-unit firm. The only time pricing changes is if you ask us to build something specifically for you that requires significant new engineering — that's a separately-quoted project, with you knowing the cost upfront before any work starts.
What's the catch?
The catch is the 10-firm founding cohort cap. After we hit 10 firms at this rate, the pricing model shifts and the founding rate is gone for new sign-ups. There's also a 3-month minimum so we can break even on the build cost.
Are there any hidden fees? Setup, per-screen, per-document?
No. The $2,500 setup is the only one-time fee. Monthly rent is $599. Every integration, every screen, every e-signature, every API call is included. We don't charge per-unit, per-user, per-document, per-screen, or per-transaction.
What happens if I cancel?
Three-month minimum, then month-to-month. You give us 30 days notice. We provide a full SQL and CSV export of every record — rent roll, tenants, leases, ledgers, work orders, payments. No exit fees, no data lock-in.
Why is your pricing flat when everyone else charges per-unit?
Per-unit pricing penalizes growth and forces you to under-invest in technology to control costs. We think that's a worse business model for both sides. Flat-fee pricing means we're aligned with your growth — we want you to add units, because it lowers your cost-per-unit while keeping ours predictable.
