Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 16 of the 116 other CRM tools we grade
LeadSimple, now sold as LeadSimple One, is a workspace for property management companies. It combines a sales CRM for owner leads, workflow-based operations, a phone and inbox, leasing and maintenance tracking, and AI voice. It syncs with property management systems such as AppFolio and Buildium.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about LeadSimple, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up pipelines and workflows, and sync a property management system.
- 1
Best for property management firms that want a CRM and phone together
LeadSimple is a CRM, workflow and phone system built for property managers and synced with AppFolio, Buildium and similar.

Keep it
To replace LeadSimple you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for property management firms that want a CRM and phone together
LeadSimple is a CRM, workflow and phone system built for property managers and synced with AppFolio, Buildium and similar. It starts at $169 a month on a 12-month term, grows with your door count, and fits other kinds of sales team poorly.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $169 a month on a 12-month term, or $199 monthly, for 50 doors. That's in the dearest tenth of the CRM category, which starts at $169, and doors past 50 cost extra. |
| Free plan and trial | D | 14-day trial of the full platform, but it needs a credit card. No free plan. |
| Features | C | CRM pipelines, workflows, calling, texting, leasing and maintenance. It's built for property management only, and extra pipelines, minutes and credits all cost more. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up pipelines and workflows, and sync a property management system. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web app with AppFolio, Buildium, Rentvine, Propertyware, Rent Manager and Zapier links. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who LeadSimple is for
- Fits if you manage rental properties and use AppFolio, Buildium or similar
- Works for firms that want calls, texts and a CRM in one place
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you're not in property management, as it fits other sales teams poorly
- Pricey if you have many doors, because 50 are included and each extra costs $1.99 to $2.49
- Watch out: the trial needs a credit card, and the 12-month deal is billed monthly
- Watch out: extra calling minutes are $0.05 each and extra messaging credits $0.025
- Skip it if you want fixed costs, as allowances reset monthly
Good to know
Good for
- Property management companies that want sales, leasing and maintenance workflows together
- Firms using AppFolio, Buildium or Rentvine that want synced data
- Teams that want every employee included without per-seat fees
Worth knowing
- Pricing follows the number of doors: 50 are included on One, then $1.99 to $2.49 each depending on commitment and volume.
- Allowances reset monthly: extra calling minutes are $0.05 each and extra messaging credits $0.025 each on One.
- The 12-month commitment is billed monthly, and the trial requires a credit card.
- It is built for property management, so it fits other kinds of sales teams poorly.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace LeadSimple you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $2,028 a year.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- One mailbox that several people work at once.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. LeadSimple’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
