Most property software is an accounting package with a work-order screen bolted on the side. CallBoris was built the other way round — by someone who did the repairs — and then given the leases, the rent ledger and the reporting to go with them. $0.99 a unit. Price on the website. No demo call.
Not a mockup. Three screens from the same account, same day — the landing dashboard, a dispatch queue mid-shift, and the reports it feeds, running against a real small portfolio.
Not modules you switch on for an extra fee, and not a higher tier. This is what's in the product at the price below, on every account, on day one.
A tracker for applicants from enquiry to decision, recording who decided and why. It is manual, and it says so — see the list further down.
Fixed-term and month-to-month, with renewals that carry the tenants forward. A renewal doesn't overwrite the old lease — it creates the next one and links back — so the history of a unit survives the paperwork.
Charges generate on a schedule. A late fee applies once and only once. Partial payments land against the charge they were meant for. The ledger is append-only, so any balance can be explained line by line.
The same sticker inside the door that reports a leak also takes the rent. No portal account, no app download, no password reset at 9pm on the 1st.
Skills-based routing, on-call rotations, photo evidence at every phase, and real labour, parts and vendor cost carried on the job rather than guessed at month end.
Stock that can't go negative, a movement ledger behind every count, and a part consumed on a job posting straight to that job's cost.
Every furnace, heater and appliance gets a QR, a meter reading, a warranty date and its whole repair record — so "replace it" is an argument you make with numbers.
Eight stages from move-out to rent-ready. Open component issues become turn tasks on their own, and a task can't be ticked off while the work order it escalated is still open.
Rent roll, aging, collections, occupancy and equipment reliability. Every one exports to CSV, with the formula-injection hole most exports leave wide open closed.
This is the part that made the product. Every incumbent treats maintenance as one more screen. It is where the money actually leaks, where the liability sits, and where techs quietly go back to text messages.
Gas, fire, CO, no heat, sewage and flooding are caught by hard-coded rules before any model sees the text — and nothing can quietly downgrade them afterwards.
A life-threatening finding gets a 24-hour clock, severe and moderate get 30 days, and the proof-of-correction photos are attached to the job. Not a binder.
An expired certificate of insurance blocks assignment outright. Not a warning email — the job will not go to them.
Basements and mechanical rooms have no bars. The tech app queues everything on the phone and syncs later, without ever double-counting a part or fifteen minutes of labour.
A QR sticker inside the door. Photo, description, done. Registration is where maintenance requests go to die — and an abandoned request becomes a 7pm phone call.
Habitability law runs from when the resident told you, not when someone opened a ticket. CallBoris timestamps that and keeps a defensible trail.
Not a feature checklist. These are the things that were hard to build and that the incumbents genuinely don't do.
| Capability | Typical PMS | CallBoris |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency detection that a model can't override | — | Yes |
| Statutory repair clock from the notice timestamp | — | Yes |
| NSPIRE severity mapped to HUD deadlines | — | Yes |
| Expired COI blocks dispatch | Tracked separately | Enforced |
| Offline work that can't double-post on retry | Partial | Yes |
| Resident pays rent without making an account | Portal signup | QR code |
| Repair history per piece of equipment | Higher tier | Included |
| Public pricing, no demo required | Sales call | Yes |
Every competitor's site lists everything they have. Here is the list of what CallBoris hasn't got, because finding this out in month three is far worse than reading it now.
Rent, charges, payments, late fees and collections are tracked properly and export clean. Full double-entry and state-by-state trust rules are not built, and won't ship until they can ship correctly. Keep your accounting package.
The application tracker records what you decided and when. There is no bureau behind it, and it will never show you a score it didn't get from one.
Lease terms, tenants, dates and rent all live in the system. Getting the document itself signed is still yours to do.
No equipment "health score", no AI confidence percentage, no statutory text written by a language model. Where the honest answer is a count and a date, you get a count and a date.
Property management software is normally quoted per unit against a monthly minimum in the hundreds, and never without a call first. This is the whole price.
