What a property maintenance company needs from software
Property maintenance is contract work with interruptions. The monthly visits are planned; the leaking faucet in unit 4B is not. A small company juggles both for several managers at once, often with work orders arriving in five different inboxes.
The money is in the contracts and in the crew's hours. Knowing which property eats the most time, and billing every visit without paperwork, is what keeps the margins.
- Recurring service plans. Monthly contracts with landlords, HOAs and property managers are the base of the business.
- Crew scheduling. A small crew covering several properties needs to know who is going where.
- Time tracking. Hours by property tell you which contract actually pays.
- Stops sorted by the drive. Turnovers and repairs between plan visits have to fit the day's drive.
- Invoices and online payments. Each manager wants an invoice per property, sent when the work is done.
- Customer page or portal. Managers want to see that the visit happened without calling.

In Koira these go on your price list once. Every estimate, instant price and invoice pulls from it, so a property maintenance company never types the same line twice, and Koira never writes a number that is not in your records.

How Koira covers the list
Recurring service plans. On Front Office, maintenance plans bill each property monthly on the card on file and book its visits.
Crew scheduling. On Front Office, crew clock in and out of jobs from their phones, and there is no fee per person.
Time tracking. Hours add themselves up by person and by job, on one screen.
Stops sorted by the drive. A text from a manager lands as a job on Today, in driving order, between the plan visits.
Invoices and online payments. Tap done and the invoice is built from your price list and sent to the manager.
Customer page or portal. Each customer has a page with their jobs, estimates and invoices.

From Jobber pricing, Housecall Pro pricing and Workiz pricing, checked October 8, 2026. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Part of Housecall Pro's pricing page fills in by script and it was running first-month offers when we checked. The plan prices below are the regular ones its plan cards show. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Prices change often, so check the page before you buy.

How to choose
Count the crew you will have next year. A per-person fee grows with every hire; Koira has none. Plans, crew hours and commercial outreach to property managers are on Front Office, $499 a month flat.
Whichever you try, put one real week of property maintenance jobs through it before you commit. Koira's Office plan is free with no time limit: start on Office, free, or see every plan on the pricing page. The others offer free trials or demos, so ask.
