Sahab Key: the DoorLoop alternative that stays simple

Who each product is really for

DoorLoop and Sahab Key both run residential rentals well. The difference is how they price the first tier and how much breadth you are paying for.

DoorLoop is a broad all-in-one built to cover a lot in one subscription. As of July 2026 its published pricing lists three plans. Starter is sixty-nine dollars a month billed annually, or ninety-nine dollars month to month, and it is limited to ten units. Pro is one hundred forty-nine dollars a month billed annually, or one hundred eighty-nine month to month, and Premium is two hundred nine dollars billed annually, or two hundred thirty-nine month to month. Pro and Premium add three dollars per unit per month above the plan. Portfolios beyond three hundred units get a custom plan. DoorLoop bundles a wide feature set, including online applications inside the plan, with lease e-signature billed per document on Starter and Pro and included only on Premium.

Sahab Key is focused on the core operation and priced to match your portfolio, not a tier. Rent lands in your bank through Stripe, the books balance to the cent, maintenance stays tracked with tenant photos, and every tenant gets a portal with autopay. It is two dollars a unit a month, the fifty-dollar minimum covers your first twenty-five units, and there is no separate starter tier to outgrow.

Pricing, side by side

Both companies publish their pricing, which is the right way to do it. The difference is the shape. Sahab Key is one plan: two dollars per unit per month, a fifty-dollar monthly minimum that covers the first twenty-five units, and flat monthly add-ons if you want them. The price is the same whether you have three units or twenty-five, then it climbs two dollars at a time. See it in full on the pricing page.

DoorLoop is tiered. Its Starter plan is the low entry price, but it is capped at ten units, so the moment you manage an eleventh you move up to Pro, which as of July 2026 is one hundred forty-nine dollars a month billed annually and then three dollars per unit above the plan. That step is where a growing small landlord feels the model. On Sahab Key, eleven units is still fifty dollars.

What this means at a small portfolio

Put real numbers on it. At ten units, Sahab Key is fifty dollars a month and DoorLoop's Starter plan is sixty-nine dollars billed annually, or ninety-nine month to month. At fifteen units, Sahab Key is still fifty dollars, while DoorLoop has moved you to Pro at one hundred forty-nine dollars billed annually because Starter stops at ten units. At forty units, Sahab Key is eighty dollars, two dollars a unit, while DoorLoop's per-unit rate above the plan is three dollars.

The pattern is simple: Sahab Key holds a flat fifty dollars through your first twenty-five units and never asks you to change tiers to add a unit. If you are early or growing one building at a time, that is the difference. Read the plain-English breakdown for small portfolios.
