Yardi is property management and real estate software made by Yardi Systems, a privately held company in business since 1984, with its corporate office in Santa Barbara, California. Most residential managers meet it as one of two products: Breeze for smaller portfolios, or Voyager for large ones. Breeze publishes its rates. Voyager does not.

What does Yardi software do?

Start with accounting, because that is what the rest hangs off. Yardi describes Voyager, its flagship, as a web-based platform that centralizes operations, leasing, accounting and maintenance management, reachable from any browser or mobile device. Around it sit products sold on top: data export, document management, maintenance tooling. The company says it has over 9,000 professionals in more than 40 offices worldwide.

The product line runs well past apartments. Commercial, affordable housing, associations, self storage and manufactured housing each get their own version, and modules are bought separately. That is why one Yardi shop can look nothing like another, and why "we run Yardi" tells a vendor almost nothing about what the software does at your company.

Yardi Breeze or Yardi Voyager: which one do you have?

Breeze is the lighter product, sold at a published per-unit rate with a low monthly floor. Breeze Premier adds accounting depth at a much higher floor. Voyager is the one Yardi aims at portfolios of any size and complexity, and buying it starts with a sales conversation.

What does Yardi cost?

Breeze tells you. As of August 2026 the Breeze pricing page lists residential at $1 per unit per month with a $100 monthly minimum, commercial at $2 per unit with a $200 minimum, and affordable housing on Breeze Premier at $3 per unit with a $400 minimum, all on an annual agreement with no onboarding, training or support fees.

The minimum decides your bill long before the rate does. At $1 per unit, 60 doors still costs $100 a month, which is about $1.67 a door until you cross 100 units, and Breeze Premier's $400 floor takes 400 residential units to clear. Voyager publishes nothing at all: the Voyager page ends in a demo request and a sales form, so the only number that means anything is the one in your quote.

Why do Canadian property managers keep Yardi for accounting?

Because the general ledger is the hardest thing to move and the least rewarding to move. The Canadian managers we talk to have years of owner statements, trust accounting and reporting built in Yardi, and none of that improves by living somewhere else. Leasing is the part they complain about, and leasing is the part you can change without touching the books.

LetHub does not sync with Yardi, and in Canada that costs you nothing. Accounting stays in Yardi. Leasing runs in LetHub: rental inquiries get an answer in about 30 seconds by text, chat or phone, around the clock, and an AI voice agent picks up the calls, so dial 404-383-6213 if you want to hear one. Showings book themselves, and a self-showing sits behind bank-level ID verification before anyone gets access, using smart lockboxes or ordinary offline locks whose codes you rotate after each use. There is more on that setup in AI leasing for Yardi in Canada, or book a demo and bring a vacancy you are tired of.

Yardi FAQ

Is Yardi Breeze the same thing as Yardi?

Breeze is one Yardi product, not the company. Yardi Systems sells Breeze, Breeze Premier and Voyager to property managers, plus separate versions for commercial, affordable housing, associations and self storage. When somebody says they run Yardi, ask which one, because the price and the depth differ sharply.

Is Yardi a public company?

No. Yardi Systems is privately held, so there are no quarterly filings behind its numbers and its own reporting is what you get: in business since 1984, over 9,000 people in more than 40 offices worldwide, and a corporate address at 430 S Fairview Avenue, Santa Barbara, California.

Does Yardi publish its prices?

Half of them. As of August 2026 Breeze publishes per-unit rates and monthly minimums for residential, commercial, affordable housing and associations. Voyager publishes none of that, and its page routes to a demo and a sales form instead, so a Voyager budget stays guesswork until a written quote lands.

Can you run other leasing tools alongside Yardi?

Yes, and plenty of Canadian managers already do. Nothing in Yardi stops you running leasing elsewhere while accounting stays put. LetHub does not sync with Yardi. It runs the leasing work in its own system, and you enter the signed lease the way you always have.
