Best open-source property rental tools, ranked by real installs (Oct 2026)
We keep install counts on every app in our catalog, so this property rental roundup is built from real numbers, not hunches.
Rather than a flat list, we ranked these 5 tools by how many times people actually started them on PickYour.App.

Picking between them
House Rental System
Teams pick House Rental System when they need advertise rooms and flats. Spec: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 30 GB disk. Best for independent landlords. Start here if you want the safe pick.
OpenProperty
Its daily work — list properties is what OpenProperty does best. Spec: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB disk. If you are landlords with a handful to a few hundred units, start here. If the top pick feels heavy, this is the usual alternative.
Online Rental Property Manager (ORPM)
Teams pick Online Rental Property Manager (ORPM) when they need track units and occupancy. Plan for 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM. Made with DIY landlords and small property managers in mind. Lesser known, often a better fit for smaller teams.
Movin' In
Teams pick Movin' In when they need run move-in/out inspections with photos. It runs comfortably on 1 vCPU / 1 GB here. Typical users: landlords and agencies that care about handover quality. Newer to the catalog, climbing steadily.
Sizing and cost
None of these need a big machine. Budget roughly €0.023/hour for the largest spec in the table (peak 1 vCPU, 2 GB), and less for the rest. Pick an app above to see its exact sizing.
