The main difference is product scope
AppFolio is a full property-management platform for professional operators. Its plans include accounting and reporting, marketing and leasing, maintenance, inspections, communications, integrations, and increasingly advanced controls. TenantHub is built for a different buyer: a small self-managing landlord who wants less setup and fewer unused modules.
Neither product is automatically the better choice. If you manage rentals for other owners, need full property accounting, or coordinate a team, AppFolio's broader workflow may be worth the additional setup. If you manage your own small portfolio and mostly need to know who owes rent, who paid, and what needs attention, TenantHub's narrower workflow may fit better.

Compare total cost, not one headline number.
AppFolio asks prospects to request a quote and currently states that a minimum spend and a 50-unit minimum apply to its Core property-management plan. TenantHub has no monthly subscription or unit minimum; ACH Autopay costs up to $6.99 only when rent is successfully collected.
Also check payment fees, bank-account setup charges, screening, e-signatures, onboarding, support, and contract terms. Those details can matter more than the advertised subscription price for a small portfolio.
