The techs are very helpful and listen to all your concern and help you no matter how long it takes. > > **Cons**: I Have yet to encounter any Cons with Buildium, so therefor I can't elaborate on this question for now. > > Overall my experience with Buildium has been great\! They have helped me over the years and have answered and resolved all my questions and concerns\! ----- ### "Haven Real Estate Services" — 5.0/5 > **Cherie** | *28 May 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The value for what the software offers. Other HOA/COA management software does not offer the many layers that Buildium does - it really enhances the operations of the communities. Having good records is essential for the stability of a community. > > **Cons**: The accounting is a bit cumbersome as there are "automatic" GL codes and then every community has a set they use. Not being able to delete the automatic GL codes creates disconnects. > > Amazing service from onboarding to continued support with the priority that is extra, however pays for itself with the ability to get answers, explanations as well as timely responses. ----- ### "Integration pulled with no notice, then phone-only pricing changed after confirmation" — 1.0/5 > **Alex** | *22 October 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Solid core accounting and trust accounting, clean owner/tenant statements, bank recs are reliable, resident portal and ePayments at times bounce back after the already clear and cause accounting issues since we pay owners based on clearing these payments, and the UI is generally stable. > > **Cons**: Buildium terminated the Vendoroo integration without advance notice, disrupting maintenance operations. Then they blocked self-service plan upgrades and forced “sales-only” pricing that didn’t match the published rates. After confirming $375/mo for Premium 150 in writing, support later said it was $400/mo for existing customers—an opaque, moving target that undermines trust (Case \#02258492). Escalation required multiple emails and still lacked a clear remedy. > > On 10/22/2025, Vendoroo (our maintenance coordinator integration) was removed without any proactive communication to impacted customers. To restore API access, we attempted to upgrade; the app wouldn’t allow it, directing us to sales. Support initially confirmed Premium 150 at $337.50 now/$375 effective 11/1, I approved conditional on pro-rating, and then they changed the price to $400 “for existing customers.” I have screenshots of my billing screen showing $375 + tax and an 11/1/2025 next charge, plus the full email thread. The combination of no-notice integration removal, blocked in-app upgrades, and shifting phone-only pricing felt like a forced upsell rather than a customer-first solution. The core product is capable, but this experience eroded confidence in Buildium’s pricing transparency and change management. ----- ### "Buildium Success" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *19 March 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the integration on payments email etc. It gives a quick iverview and you are able to access information at the drop of a hat. > > **Cons**: The way it handles documents. Leases and the way it fills in fields feels clunky. It should know how many tenants and adjust accordingly instead of just leaving a bunch of blank space. You should bbe able to adjust on the fly. Also you enter the appliances and all information but cant retrieve the information for the lease. > > Tenants love the ability to pay through the app. It lets them make multiple payments and see what is happening any time day or night. ----- ### "Game changing software for managers." — 5.0/5 > **Chad** | *02 June 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: That most everything that revolves around property management is centered in one location and connected seamlessly. > > **Cons**: I wish I could have opted in earlier in my investment career with fewer properties, but it wasn't cost effective with low numbers of units. However, that is helpful to keep competition lower. > > Overall I'm very satisfied and it has changed the way that I run my business. I am still building out processes and trying to utilize more of the functions. ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/47428/buildium-property-management-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/47428/buildium-property-management-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
