Brikone vs Yardi Breeze

Brikone is a property management platform for rent collection, maintenance, and financial tracking. Tenants can pay by ACH, credit or debit card, use autopay, and see payment status; automatic late fees are also available. Payments run through Stripe Connect to a manager’s connected bank account, and Brikone says it does not hold funds. Accounting includes a double-entry general ledger, owner statements, and financial reports. Trust accounting and three-way reconciliation are included in Professional and Enterprise. Tenants can send maintenance requests with photos, while managers prioritize work, assign vendors, and issue status updates. HandyBrik coordinates maintenance triage and contractor dispatch; LeaseBrik handles lead responses, showings, applicant screening, and lease generation, with users approving each step. Brikone serves residential property managers in the United States and supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Landlord is free forever for up to 3 units. Paid plans start at $49 a month, with a 14-day trial; unit limits block further additions until an upgrade.
