EchoPM is the rental OS for independent property managers. Renters search and apply free, then sign, pay rent, and request maintenance in the same product your team runs. Listings, leases, rent, and maintenance share one record. Roommate splits and parent PayLinks included. No renter portal fee. Bill per live unit (published or under lease); drafts are free. From $4.25/unit/month, cheaper as you scale. 30-day trial, no setup fees.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built EchoPM because rental operations still run on duct tape: listings in one tool, applications in email, leases in a shared drive, rent somewhere else, maintenance in texts. EchoPM is one platform for the full lease lifecycle: For renters (echopm.app) — search listings, apply with no application fee, sign your lease, pay rent, and request maintenance from one account. For property managers & landlords (manager.echopm.app) — properties, applications, screening handoffs, leases, rent collection, maintenance, owner visibility, and Ava (built-in AI that works from your real portfolio data). Same database underneath. No retyping the household every time someone says “approved.” Pricing is per live unit—you’re not charged for draft/setup doors until something is published or under lease. Tenants aren’t charged to browse or apply on EchoPM. We’re early and hungry for feedback—especially from anyone who’s rented, self-managed, or run a small PM shop. What would you need to see to trust one platform for the whole flow? Thanks for being here today 🙏

We charge per live unit, not per “seat.” Does that pricing make sense to you?

Most PM software prices like enterprise: seats, minimums, setup fees, then a tenant portal add-on.

EchoPM is the opposite:

Platform fee only for live units (published, or with a pending/active lease)
Drafts and setup are free
Starts at $4.25 / unit / month, cheaper as you scale
30-day free trial, no setup fee
Tenants use the portal at no extra charge no tenant portal fee

Screening is a separate Checkr-aligned order the PM pays for. Rent collection is online in the same portal (including roommate split and PayLinks so a parent can pay a specific invoice).

EchoPM is not a rip-and-replace for a decade-old enterprise stack

Built for independent landlords and small PM shops tens to a few hundred doors who are stitching together a listing site, an apply form, e-sign, rent, and a tenant portal.

It is not:

A drop-in for a large AppFolio / Buildium shop that needs every accounting edge case on day one
A promise that we syndicate to every major listing site (export kit is live; deeper syndication is not GA)
AI that declines tenants. Ava helps with ops. Screening recommendations are manager-decided.

Hard tradeoff we made on purpose: one product for renters and managers, instead of a prettier PM dashboard bolted onto someone else s apply flow.

What’s the most painful step from vacant unit → first rent payment?

This is the loop EchoPM is built around.

Today a vacant unit usually means: post somewhere, collect applications in email, screen in another tab, send a lease from a third tool, then stand up rent collection and a portal the tenant will hate.

On EchoPM the PM publishes once. Renters search and apply for free. The same record carries through screening, signing, move-in, rent, and maintenance.

If you self-manage (or you ve watched a PM do this): which step actually kills the week getting applications, deciding, getting the lease signed, or collecting month one?
