About Pangoni
Pangoni is a Kenyan property management platform that combines tenant and payment management software with an integrated property marketplace at pangoni.com. The platform is designed for landlords and property managers who want to manage existing tenants while also marketing vacant units through a single system. Pangoni offers native M-Pesa integration with automatic reconciliation, advanced financial reporting with export capabilities, and automated eTIMS tax compliance. The platform supports unlimited properties with a portfolio overview dashboard, making it suitable for both individual landlords and professional property management companies. Pangoni also provides API access for developers who need custom integrations, and multi-channel support via email, live chat, and phone. With plans starting at KSh 3,500 per month, Pangoni positions itself as a feature-rich platform that delivers value through automation, marketplace reach, and comprehensive management tools.
About EazzyRent
EazzyRent is a budget-friendly property management system built for Kenyan landlords who need straightforward rent tracking and tenant management. The platform focuses on simplicity, offering a clean interface that makes it easy for first-time users to get started without a steep learning curve. EazzyRent provides basic M-Pesa support for rent collection, simple tenant record keeping, and essential financial reports. The platform is particularly well-suited for individual landlords managing small portfolios of 1 to 10 units who do not need advanced automation or marketplace features. With pricing starting at KSh 2,500 per month, EazzyRent is one of the most affordable options in the Kenyan property management software market. The trade-off for this lower price is a more limited feature set: EazzyRent lacks a property marketplace, API access, and the advanced reporting and automation capabilities found in more comprehensive platforms. Support is available through email and chat.
Detailed Comparison
M-Pesa Integration
M-Pesa is the backbone of rent collection in Kenya, so how each platform handles mobile money payments is critical. Pangoni offers native M-Pesa integration with automatic reconciliation. When a tenant pays via M-Pesa, the payment is automatically matched to the correct tenant and unit, a receipt is generated, and financial reports update in real time. This eliminates the manual work of checking M-Pesa statements against your tenant ledger.
EazzyRent supports M-Pesa rent collection, but the integration is more basic. Payments come through and are recorded, but the reconciliation process may require more manual oversight. For landlords with just a handful of units, this is manageable. As your portfolio grows, however, the lack of auto-reconciliation creates increasingly more administrative work each month.
Reporting and Analytics
Financial visibility is essential for making smart property investment decisions. Pangoni provides advanced analytics with exportable reports covering income statements, occupancy rates, rent arrears tracking, and expense breakdowns. These reports can be exported for use with accountants or for your own record-keeping. Pangoni also handles automated eTIMS compliance, saving you from manual tax filing processes.
EazzyRent offers basic reporting that covers the essentials: rent collected, outstanding balances, and tenant payment history. While sufficient for small portfolios, the reporting lacks the depth and export flexibility that growing landlords need. eTIMS compliance is handled manually, meaning you will need to manage your KRA submissions separately.
Pricing and Value
EazzyRent wins on entry price with plans starting at KSh 2,500 per month compared to Pangoni's KSh 3,500. For landlords with just one or two properties and tight budgets, that KSh 1,000 monthly difference is meaningful. However, Pangoni's starter plan includes features that EazzyRent either does not offer or reserves for higher tiers: marketplace integration, auto-reconciliation, advanced reporting, and API access. If you factor in the time saved through automation and the potential revenue from faster vacancy filling through the marketplace, Pangoni's higher price often pays for itself.
Pricing Comparison
Both platforms use monthly subscription models, but the value delivered at each tier differs significantly.
- EazzyRent: KSh 2,500–8,000/mo. Lower entry cost, but advanced features are limited even at higher tiers. No marketplace or API access at any price point.
- Pangoni: KSh 3,500–15,000/mo. Higher entry cost, but every plan includes marketplace integration, auto-reconciliation, and advanced reporting. Higher tiers unlock priority support, multi-user access, and enterprise features. See the full Pangoni pricing page for details.
