The Verdict
AppFolio is built for mid size property managers and community associations, with a focus on ai-leasing and online-payments. ShowingTime+ targets listing agents and buyer agents and leads with showing-scheduling and feedback-collection.
On pricing, AppFolio is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $1.49/mo compared to $10/mo for ShowingTime+. That $8.51/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Feature-wise, AppFolio offers broader built-in capabilities (8 features vs 6), while ShowingTime+ takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: AppFolio has a slight overall edge — but if streamlines showing appointments matters most to you, ShowingTime+ may still be the right call.
