Quick answer
DoorLoop now charges per unit, from $2.50 a unit a month billed yearly with a $199 monthly minimum, and builds its plans around AI agents for rental operations. ManageCasa is built for HOAs and community association managers, with plans from $45 a month billed yearly and Minii AI on every plan. For most associations, ManageCasa costs less.
If you priced DoorLoop a few months ago, the numbers you remember no longer apply. DoorLoop dropped its Starter, Pro and Premium plans and the flat price that came with unlimited units, and now charges per unit with a monthly minimum. For an HOA or a management company running associations, that changes the math more than any feature does.
Every DoorLoop detail below comes from its own pricing page and HOA page, checked November 4, 2026, and every ManageCasa detail from the ManageCasa pricing page.
What Is DoorLoop?
DoorLoop is a property management platform for residential, multifamily, single-family, commercial, affordable housing and HOA portfolios. Its plans now differ less by feature and more by how much work its AI agents take on: the AI Assistant on every plan, a Receptionist Agent that answers tenant calls, texts and portal messages, and agents for maintenance operations and lease renewals on the top plan.
For associations, DoorLoop says it handles HOA dues, fees and late charges, resident communication by email, text and portal, compliance and violation tracking, and storage for bylaws and other records, all alongside the rest of a property manager's portfolio.
DoorLoop vs ManageCasa at a Glance
DoorLoop Pricing in 2026
DoorLoop now sells three plans, priced per unit per month. Billed yearly, DoorLoop One costs $2.50 a unit, dropping to $1.50 for each unit above 100, with a $199 monthly minimum. Connect costs $4.00 a unit with a $299 minimum and adds the Receptionist Agent, free incoming ACH payments and VIP priority support. Multiply costs $5.00 a unit with a $399 minimum and adds agents that run maintenance from work order to bill and carry lease renewals through to signature.
Monthly billing costs more: $3.00, $4.80 and $6.00 a unit, with minimums of $239, $359 and $479. DoorLoop says everything that used to sit behind its old Premium plan, including the API, unlimited users and unlimited storage, is now in One, and that existing customers can keep their current plans and pricing.
DoorLoop vs ManageCasa: Monthly Cost by Association Size
Here is what each platform costs a month on yearly billing, using DoorLoop's published per-unit rates and minimums and ManageCasa's pricing calculator:
Sources: ManageCasa pricing calculator (billed yearly, November 2, 2026); DoorLoop pricing page (billed yearly, November 4, 2026). DoorLoop figures are calculated from its per-unit rates and minimums. Excludes taxes, payment processing fees and add-ons.
The minimum does most of the damage for small associations: a 25-unit HOA pays at least $199 a month on DoorLoop, more than four times ManageCasa's Base plan. At 500 units, DoorLoop One's lower rate above 100 units narrows the gap on the entry plan, but the plans with DoorLoop's AI agents cost several times more than any ManageCasa plan.

HOA Tools: Built In vs Added On
DoorLoop covers the basics an association needs to collect dues and keep records: recurring dues and late fees, a clear view of what each unit owes, violation and compliance tracking, resident updates by email, text or portal, and shared storage for bylaws and other documents. Those tools sit inside a platform whose plans, agents and features are built mainly around leasing and tenant work.
ManageCasa is built around associations from the start. Owners and board members get their own portals on every plan, and the platform handles violations, architectural review, maintenance requests, polls and owner messaging. For more on what boards need from their tools, see our guide to HOA board member responsibilities.
Accounting for Associations
DoorLoop includes accounting, payments, and owner and tenant portals on every plan, and its HOA page focuses on tracking dues, fees and what each unit has paid or owes.
ManageCasa is built on an accounting foundation for associations. Operating funds, reserves and special accounts sit on separate ledgers, association money is kept apart from a management company's own income, and income statements, balance sheets, delinquency reports and budget versus actual come from live data. Bank sync and budgeting start on the Growth plan. See the financial capabilities page, our guide to accounting for homeowners associations and our guide to HOA reserve funds.
AI: DoorLoop Agents vs Minii AI
Every DoorLoop plan includes its AI Assistant, which answers questions, processes invoices, writes listings and turns inspections into reports. Connect adds the Receptionist Agent, which answers tenant texts, calls and portal messages around the clock using your leases, ledger and policies. Multiply adds a Maintenance Ops Agent and a Lease Renewal Agent, and DoorLoop says new agents will be added to Multiply as they launch. Every agent action is logged, and you set how much each agent can do without your approval.
Minii AI is included in every ManageCasa plan. It reads CC&Rs, bylaws and policies to answer resident questions, handles maintenance, violations and architectural review workflows, and captures vendor invoices from a photo or upload. Base includes a limited allowance, Growth and Premium raise it, and usage beyond the plan is billed. For a wider view, see our HOA AI software comparison.
