How LeaseHub and AppFolio Fit Together
AppFolio sync, live today
AppFolio is a serious property management platform and it does the back office better than we ever will. Where teams feel the gap is upstream: AppFolio is built for the owner and the PM, not for the leasing agent working a pipeline. Its agent-management tooling is rated low for exactly that reason. LeaseHub sits in front of AppFolio and runs the agent-led leasing motion, then hands the signed deal over.
LeaseHub handles
- Listing syndication across Zillow, Apartments.com, Zumper and more
- Showing scheduling for agents, plus renter self-scheduling
- Applications, screening, and deal pipeline tracking
- Agent assignment, activity tracking, and commission invoicing
- Lease signing, upfront payments, and renewal offers
AppFolio handles
- Full accounting, trust accounting, and financial reporting
- Recurring rent collection and delinquency tracking
- AI-assisted maintenance triage and work orders
- Owner portal, statements, and portfolio reporting
- Commercial, student, and HOA portfolios
Where the handoff happens
LeaseHub syncs units and vacancies out of AppFolio so agents always work from live availability, then pushes the executed lease and tenant record back. AppFolio stays your system of record for the property; LeaseHub is the system of record for the deal.

Schedule a DemoFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about running LeaseHub alongside AppFolio.
Do I have to leave AppFolio to use LeaseHub?
No. LeaseHub syncs with AppFolio and is designed to run alongside it. AppFolio keeps your accounting, maintenance, and owner reporting; LeaseHub runs the leasing pipeline in front of it. We're not asking anyone to rip out a working PMS.
What does LeaseHub actually add on top of AppFolio?
Agent-led leasing. AppFolio is rated Low on agent-centricity because it's built for owners and PMs, so there's no central dashboard for assigning agents to units, tracking their activity, or invoicing their commissions. LeaseHub adds that, plus a deal pipeline and native showing scheduling for both agents and renters.
What does AppFolio cost, and how does LeaseHub price alongside it?
AppFolio no longer publishes per-unit pricing. It's quote-only, with a 50-unit minimum still in place. LeaseHub starts with a free trial and is then custom-quoted based on your team's size and workflow, with no unit minimum.
Can a small leasing team use LeaseHub if AppFolio's 50-unit minimum rules them out?
Yes. That's one of the clearest cases for LeaseHub on its own. AppFolio's 50-unit minimum shuts out smaller landlords and teams; LeaseHub is built for leasing teams from 1 to 1,000 units and can integrate with whatever PMS you land on later.
