Which one is built for what
| Job | Property management software | Letting tool |
|---|---|---|
| Rent roll, payments, reminders | Core job | Not its job |
| Bookkeeping, ancillary cost statements | Core job | Not its job |
| Leases and tenant records | Core job | Not its job |
| Repairs and maintenance | Core job | Not its job |
| Applications in one list | Some products | Core job |
| Reading application documents | Not its job | Core job |
| Comparing applicants by the same rules | Not its job | Core job |
| Online viewings | Not its job | Some products |
| The choice of tenant | A person | A person |
In short: one runs the tenancy once it exists, the other runs the weeks before, up to the choice.
Which one are you missing?
- Rents, statements and repairs live in spreadsheets, and tenant data is typed twice: property management software.
- The books are in order, but every advert fills a mailbox with PDFs: a letting tool.
Do you need both?
- One or two flats: a spreadsheet can carry the books, and aptari Starter costs CHF 0 with 1 active listing and a 14-day Growth trial.
- A portfolio with regular lettings: both. The letting tool ends with the choice of tenant. The management software starts with the lease.
Where aptari sits
aptari is a letting tool for rentals in Switzerland:
- A sorted shortlist in place of an inbox. Every applicant is rated by the same rules, with the facts shown.
- Documents are read once at upload.
- Live Tours in the browser: 20 a month on Growth, 50 a month on Enterprise.
- A person at your agency decides. aptari never decides and never declines automatically.
It keeps no books and no leases. There is no link to property management software yet. Today the hand-over is a CSV export on Growth and Enterprise, which you carry into your own software. E-signature is not available.
Example
If a letting brings 50 applications and reading each takes 6 minutes, that is 300 minutes, or 5 hours. At 30 lettings a year it is 150 hours. That is the work a letting tool addresses. An example, not a promise.
Price
Growth costs CHF 499 a month at the launch price (regular CHF 999) for 10 active listings. If you use all ten, that is CHF 49.90 per listing a month. Enterprise starts at CHF 1,999 a month. No setup fee, no fee per applicant.
