Detailed Overview

DoorLoop

DoorLoop is a modern property management platform that includes self-storage management capabilities. It offers tenant management, online payments, lease tracking, maintenance requests, and accounting tools. Known for its clean interface and ease of use, DoorLoop serves landlords and operators across residential, commercial, and self-storage properties. The platform includes a tenant portal, automated rent reminders, and built-in reporting.

Tenant Inc.

Tenant Inc. (founded ~2016) is a cloud-based self-storage management platform that includes integrated payment processing as part of its all-in-one suite. Unlike some competitors, Tenant Inc. offers flexibility — operators can use their native payment processing or connect a third-party processor of their choice. The platform handles ACH, credit/debit cards, automated delinquency management workflows, and end-to-end online rentals. Tenant Inc. emphasizes operator data ownership, meaning tenant and payment data belongs to the operator and is not locked in. The platform also includes Charm (a call management tool) and a competitive rate structure for payments.
