If you are comparing Pangoni vs Silqu, you are looking at two platforms built for the Kenyan rental market. Silqu (a Nairobi startup founded in 2021) focuses on a mobile-first management experience with native apps. Pangoni pairs deep M-Pesa reconciliation with an integrated marketplace and transparent, self-serve pricing. Both cover the essentials — the right pick depends on whether native apps or marketplace reach and pricing matter more to you.

Pricing
Pangoni publishes its pricing: a free Landlord plan for up to 3 units, Landlord Pro at KSh 1,500/month (up to 30 units), Landlord Elite at KSh 3,500/month (up to 100 units), and a one-off Lifetime licence at KSh 45,000. Agencies have dedicated plans from KSh 4,500/month. Every paid plan includes a 45-day free trial (prices exclusive of 16% VAT).
Silqu does not list prices publicly; its pricing page asks you to get in touch for a quote. If transparent, self-serve pricing and a free entry tier matter to you, that is a practical difference to weigh.
Who should choose which
Choose Silqu if you specifically want dedicated iOS/Android apps or built-in visitor and security management for a gated estate.
Choose Pangoni if you want an integrated marketplace to fill vacancies, a free tier to start, transparent pricing, and accounting integrations.
Verdict
Silqu is a credible, mobile-first choice, especially where native apps and estate/visitor features matter. Pangoni is the stronger fit if you value marketplace reach, a free starting tier, published pricing, and accounting integrations. Because Silqu quotes pricing on request, ask for a quote and trial Pangoni free to compare directly.
