Running properties for owners means a stack: a calendar, a tasks tool, sheets for trackers, a drive for documents, a CRM for owners and leads, a chat app for the team, and a dashboard bolted on top. None of them know about each other, so the real cost isn’t only the subscriptions — it’s re-keying the same job across five places and the gaps between them.
Recal replaces the operations and productivity middle. Calendar, weekly agenda, bookings and stays, tasks and turnovers, lists and SOPs, notes, files, a lightweight contacts CRM, a damage log, owner reporting, a revenue/occupancy Stats dashboard, team messaging and your dashboard — connected and property-aware, with real logins for owners, staff and agents.
It is not your ledger or your leasing system. Accounting (Xero, QuickBooks), rent and payment collection (Stripe, GoCardless) and e-signature stay specialist jobs you keep alongside Recal. A calculator where one tool wins everything isn’t honest.
Common questions
How much does property management software cost?
It depends on portfolio size and how much you’ve cobbled together. A small manager often runs mostly-free tools and pays in time, not money; a management company with a team typically spends $300–1,000+ a month once per-seat tools, distribution, accounting and payment tools are added up. The calculator estimates your own stack from public list prices.
Does Recal do accounting and rent collection?
No — and it doesn’t pretend to. Recal is the connected operations core: calendar, tasks, turnovers, owner reporting, files, contacts and messaging. Accounting (Xero, QuickBooks) and rent/payment collection (Stripe, GoCardless, PayProp) are kept alongside. Recal gives owners and your team real logins and live reporting; it is not a general ledger.
Is Recal a property management system (PMS)?
Recal is the operations and coordination layer professional managers run day to day — across serviced, mid-term and mixed portfolios. It replaces the cobbled-together middle (sheets, tasks, chat, drives, dashboards) with one connected, property-aware core, and works alongside the specialist tools you keep (distribution, accounting, payments).
What exactly can Recal replace?
The operations AND general-productivity middle: calendar, weekly agenda, bookings, tasks and turnovers, lists and SOPs, notes, files, a lightweight contacts CRM, a damage log, owner reporting, a revenue/occupancy Stats dashboard, team messaging and your dashboard — the things that today live across five to ten disconnected apps. Recal does them natively, connected, and property-aware.
Does Recal replace my channel manager or smart locks?
No — those stay specialist jobs you keep alongside Recal. If you manage some short-stay units, a channel manager handles OTA distribution; smart locks and dynamic pricing stay as add-ons. Recal connects the operations around them.
One connected core, flat-priced.
Replace the cobbled operations stack — and keep the specialists you actually need.
