UnitHub is 75% cheaper with AI automation that Buildium lacks. Buildium is better for property management companies with dedicated staff and 100+ units.
Buildium is one of the oldest names in property management software, serving the industry since 2004. It's built for professional property managers handling large portfolios. UnitHub takes a different approach—modern AI automation designed for self-managing landlords who want simplicity.
The fundamental difference: Buildium assumes you have dedicated staff to enter data and manage the platform. UnitHub's AI Voice Assistant lets one person manage their properties by simply speaking commands. No learning curve, no data entry, no complexity.

Choose UnitHub if you're a self-managing landlord who wants AI automation, modern software, and affordable pricing without complexity.
Choose Buildium if you're a professional property management company with 50+ units, need HOA management, or have staff dedicated to using the software.
Buildium is enterprise software priced for property management companies with dedicated administrative staff. For self-managing landlords, it's overkill in complexity and cost.
UnitHub delivers the features landlords actually need—rent tracking, tenant management, maintenance, e-signatures—with AI automation that saves hours every week. The Voice Assistant alone eliminates most of the tedious data entry that makes Buildium feel like a second job.
At $29/month vs $58-375/month, UnitHub is also dramatically more affordable. You'd pay 6x more for Buildium and still have to enter everything manually.
