DoorStax vs RentPay

DoorStax is a property management and payment platform for landlords, property managers, tenants, vendors and owners, available on Android, iOS and the web, with an API. It accepts rent payments by ACH and card, and supports autopay with pre-charge notices, smart retries and chargeback tracking. Its append-only payment ledger records corrections as new entries and reconciles daily against settlements. Accounting features include a general ledger, owner statements, accountant CSV exports and a tax center with 1099 exports. Property operations span leasing and screening, tenant onboarding, work orders, inspections, vendor management, turnovers, parking, eviction tracking and expense management. Portfolio CSV imports are listed for Buildium, AppFolio, Yardi and Rent Manager; calendar sync uses iCal with Google Calendar and Outlook. The Property Manager Plan is billed at $3 a month per unit, with a $150 base including 50 units; a 14-day trial is offered without a credit card. Card payments currently carry a 3.25% surcharge, subject to change with notice.

RentPay is a rental-payment platform for tenants who pay rent through an agent. It lets users set weekly, fortnightly or monthly deposits, and can debit funds on payday before rent is due. Payments can be made by bank transfer, PayID, BPAY, debit or credit card, PayPal, Alipay, WeChat Pay or UnionPay. Cleared account funds earn 2.50% p.a. before transfer to the agent’s trust account. The free account has no monthly, signup or money-sending fee, but payment-method charges apply, including 1.15% for cards and $1.00 for BPAY. Its wallet limit is $9,999, with interest calculated only on balances up to $9,500. Other services include bill smoothing, Paylab rewards transferable from participating Australian retailers, and Scorebuilder, which reports account status monthly to illion. Users can see payment history in the app, but cannot download it. RentPay is available on Android, iOS and web.
