When ManagedApp is the better choice
- You're a property management business looking to avoid trust accounting and pay owners instantly.
- You want your PM to use a single platform that also surfaces communications, inspections, and maintenance to you as an owner.
- You need PM-side workflow tools (work orders, tradies, owner statements).
When Vestly is the better choice
- You're the investor, not the PM. ManagedApp needs your property manager to adopt their platform; Vestly works independently of your PM.
- You want ATO-aligned tax outputs - cashflow, CGT, depreciation, FY tax pack. ManagedApp focuses on operations, not tax.
- You're self-managing or using a PM who isn't on ManagedApp.
- You want pricing you can see on the website without booking a call.
