Description: APPF Appfolio November 03, 2025
AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ: APPF) delivers a cloud-based SaaS platform that automates core property-management functions-leasing, maintenance, accounting, and related workflows-for U.S. real-estate operators. The platform now incorporates generative-AI tools that can answer user queries, execute routine tasks, and streamline repetitive processes, while also integrating third-party technology services.
The company’s product hierarchy includes:
- Property Manager Core: a foundational system of record for day-to-day property-management operations.
- Property Manager Plus: adds housing- and student-housing modules, complex accounting, advanced analytics, custom fields, and premium support.
- Property Manager Max: provides full CRM capabilities, API-driven read/write database access, extensive customization, and dedicated support resources.
- Investment Manager: targets investment- and asset-management teams with portfolio analytics, investor reporting, and relationship-management tools.
Beyond the core software, AppFolio offers value-added services such as electronic rent payment processing, tenant screening, and risk-mitigation solutions that further embed the company into its customers’ operational ecosystems. The firm was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California.
Recent performance metrics (FY 2024) show revenue of approximately $1.2 billion, a year-over-year growth rate of ~20 %, and a net-revenue retention rate above 115 %, indicating strong upsell potential and relatively low churn (≈5 %). Macro-level drivers include sustained rental-price inflation, a tight housing supply that fuels demand for property-management efficiency, and the broader SaaS adoption trend in real-estate services, which together expand the addressable market (TAM) for cloud-based property-tech solutions.
