Occupier vs FinQuery Pricing for Corporate Lease Teams

Neither Occupier nor FinQuery publishes a price. Occupier states how it bills: an annual subscription per active lease and per module, a minimum of 20 leases in each tier, unlimited users, and implementation sold separately. FinQuery routes every buyer to a Get Pricing form or a free trial. The real choice is scope: Occupier is a lease administration platform with accounting as an add-on, FinQuery is an accounting subledger with lease data entry built in.

This comparison is for US controllers, lease accountants and corporate real estate leads at multi-location companies who have both vendors on a shortlist and need a budget number before the demos start. Every product fact below was read on occupier.com and finquery.com in October 2026. Where a vendor does not say something, we say that instead of filling the gap with a directory estimate.

Occupier vs FinQuery at a glance

How much does Occupier cost?

Occupier will not give you a number without a quote, but it tells you exactly what the number is made of, which most of this market does not. Its pricing page describes "simple per-lease, per-module pricing with no hidden fees, no per-seat charges." Every customer starts on Lease Administration in either the Basic or Professional tier, and in Occupier's own words "each tier includes a minimum of 20 leases, with additional leases priced on a per-lease basis."

Lease Accounting is a separate module on top. So are Deal Management, Business Licenses and equipment leases. That matters for a finance buyer: the ASC 842 engine you are comparing against FinQuery is an add-on line, not the base subscription. If you only want accounting, you still buy the administration tier first.

The second line to budget is implementation. Occupier's FAQ says the annual subscription covers the platform, unlimited users and standard support, while "implementation services (lease abstraction, data migration, training) are available as separate professional services packages based on portfolio size and complexity." Our Occupier lease software pricing page walks through each tier and module in more detail.

How much does FinQuery cost?

FinQuery publishes less. The page at finquery.com/pricing is a form titled Get Pricing, with no tiers, no unit and no minimum stated. The lease accounting product page carries a Start Free Trial button, and for very small portfolios FinQuery runs a separate product, LeaseGuru, which produces ASC 842 or IFRS 16 schedules, journal entries and disclosures and lets you "create an account and enter your first 2 leases for free."

Beyond that, every figure comes from a sales conversation. Treat any annual number you see on a review site as a dated directory entry rather than a quote. FinQuery also sells fixed asset, debt, and prepaid and accrual subledgers, so ask whether a bundle discount is being applied before you compare totals. The LeaseQuery alternatives and pricing page covers how FinQuery stacks up against Black Owl, Crunchafi and Visual Lease on the same terms.

Is Occupier or FinQuery better for ASC 842?

For a US company that only reports under ASC 842, both produce what an auditor asks for: amortization schedules, journal entries, disclosure reports and an audit trail. The difference shows up at the edges. FinQuery covers more standards, adding GASB 96 for subscription IT arrangements and SFFAS 54 for federal entities, and it handles lessor as well as lessee accounting for GASB 87 and SFFAS 54. It also offers read-only auditor access and daily office hours. If your controller's main worry is the close and the audit, FinQuery is built around that job.

Occupier's accounting module lists ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87 and FRS 102, with multi-entity and multi-currency reporting, custom accounting calendars such as 4-4-5, automated remeasurement detection, and a pre-built NetSuite integration. Its argument is that the accounting runs on lease data your real estate team already maintains, so an amendment entered once flows into the schedule. Occupier's own comparison page states that FinQuery "only handles lease accounting" and has no critical date tracking or clause management. That is a competitor's framing, but FinQuery's own site does market itself to accounting and finance rather than to lease administrators, so the split is real.

Which fits a real estate team and which fits a finance team?

Multi-location operators who are also weighing a property-side platform will find the same 20 lease minimum discussed in our Occupier vs Yardi Corom pricing comparison and in Occupier vs Visual Lease pricing.

What does neither quote include?

Both platforms assume your leases already exist as clean, structured data. They do not. Someone has to read every lease, amendment and commencement letter and pull out the commencement date, the rent steps, the renewal options, the CAM terms and the notice windows. Both vendors know this and both sell a way through it. Occupier pairs an AI Abstractor with review by its in-house team and also sells lease abstraction as a professional service. FinQuery lists AI-assisted lease data entry and automated lease abstracts, and says its support team converts, transfers and reconciles your data at the start.

That work is priced inside implementation, and it is usually the line that moves the most between quotes. The fix is to arrive at both demos with the data already done. If every lease is abstracted before you sign, implementation shrinks to an import, you can hold both vendors to the same file, and you keep a copy you own if you switch later. A structured ASC 842 implementation starts exactly there.

LeaseAbstracts does that step on its own, at a published price. Upload each lease, check every extracted field against the clause it came from with a confidence score, and export to Excel or CSV for either platform's import template. Plans start at $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, for 15 leases, and Team covers 75 leases a month at $149. For a 60-lease portfolio that is a few hundred dollars instead of a services line in a five-figure quote. The plan pricing shows the cost per lease on every tier, and critical date extraction covers the notice windows that drive Occupier's alerts.

One adjacent cost that also lands on the finance team: landlord CAM reconciliations and property tax bills still arrive as PDFs, and neither lease platform reads them into AP for you. If your payables team keys those by hand today, invoice data extraction software takes that piece off the desk.

How to run the Occupier and FinQuery shortlist

1. Count active leases, including equipment. Occupier prices per active lease and FinQuery will ask the same question. Expired leases should not be on the count.
2. Decide who owns the system. If real estate will live in it every day, weight administration features. If only finance logs in at month end, weight the subledger.
3. Abstract the portfolio first. Hand both vendors the same structured file so the quotes compare like for like and implementation is an import.
4. Ask for three lines in writing. Subscription, implementation, and the unit that drives renewal pricing in year two.
5. Test an amended lease in each demo. Pick one with two or more amendments and check that the remeasurement lands on the right date.
