What you lose by leaving Hemlane
Hemlane's Essential and Complete plans include people: repair coordination, a vetted repair network, 24/7 emergency support and, on Complete, a PM assistant handling tenant messages. Free ACH on its paid plans is also uncommon. Avail Plus is the other tool here with $0 ACH. If you rely on Hemlane's repair coordination, a software-only app means fielding repair calls yourself. See maintenance request tracking for small landlords for other options.
