Save 60%+ vs. Legacy Maintenance Portals
The Modern, Zero-Login Property Meld Alternative ($1.25/Door).
Legacy standalone maintenance portals cost $3.00 to $4.00+ per door/month once you add 24/7 voice answering—and still force tenants and contractors to log into portals. PropDispatch includes 24/7 first-ring AI voice answering, zero-login SMS magic links, multi-vendor SMS estimates, and Section 8 / Rent-Ready queues for $1.25/door flat.
Flat $1.25/door/month (Pro) • Zero per-minute fees • No credit card required to start trial
