Occupier vs Yardi Corom Pricing and Lease Accounting Compared

Occupier and Yardi Corom are both lease platforms for tenants, and neither publishes a price. Occupier states its basis: per active lease and per module, with a 20 lease minimum in each tier and unlimited users. Yardi Corom says only that pricing depends on which modules you need. Occupier is the narrower lease and deal product with its own AI abstraction. Corom is the wider platform that adds facilities, construction and invoice processing.

This comparison is for US real estate, finance and lease administration leads at multi-location tenants who have both names on a shortlist. Every product fact below comes from occupier.com, yardicorom.com or yardi.com. Where a vendor page does not answer a question, we say so instead of guessing.

Occupier vs Yardi Corom at a glance

How much does Occupier cost compared with Yardi Corom?

Neither vendor gives a dollar figure. The difference is how much each one tells you before the call.

Occupier publishes its structure. The pricing page names three lease administration tiers, Basic, Professional and Enterprise, and its FAQ says each tier includes a minimum of 20 leases, with additional leases priced on a per-lease basis. Only active leases count; expired and terminated ones do not. Users are unlimited in every tier. Lease Accounting and Deal Management are add-on modules, and so are Business Licenses and Equipment leases. The answer to "What does Occupier cost?" on the same page is to request a quote. We break the structure down further on our Occupier lease software pricing page.

Yardi Corom gives less. Its own FAQ answers the cost question this way: Corom has a range of functions and the pricing will depend on the needs of your business, across lease management, lease accounting, construction and deal management, facilities management and invoice processing. It adds that the product can be deployed as a single stack or as individual modules. Every other route on the site is a Book Demo button. Dollar figures for Corom on review directories are estimates by those sites, not Yardi rates, and we do not repeat them. Our Yardi Corom pricing and alternatives page explains what to ask instead.

So you can sketch an Occupier quote before you talk to sales: count your active leases, check you clear 20, and decide which add-ons you need. With Corom, the first number you see is the one in the proposal.

Which one is easier to buy for a portfolio under 50 leases?

Occupier, on the evidence each vendor publishes. A 20 lease floor and per-lease pricing above it tell a 35-location operator roughly how the bill scales, and unlimited users mean store operations, finance and outside brokers can all log in without a seat count. Occupier describes its Basic tier as the step out of spreadsheets: real estate leases and owned properties, critical date tracking and alerts, clause tracking and unlimited document storage.

Corom does not state a minimum, which is not the same as having none. Its site describes the product as best suited for corporate occupiers and retail tenants with lease management, transactions, invoice processing and facility management needs. If you only need the first of those, ask in the demo whether lease management can be licensed alone and what it costs at your lease count.

Which one does more beyond lease administration?

Corom, clearly. Yardi describes it as one connected platform for lease, maintenance, procurement and construction workflows, and says it integrates with Yardi Facility Manager, Construction Manager and Procure to Pay. Facility Manager covers service requests, preventive maintenance and inspections. Construction Manager covers budgets, schedules, forecasting and bid management for capital projects. For a retailer running remodels and work orders across 300 stores, that is several systems on one contract.

Occupier stays closer to the lease. Its Deal Management add-on runs the pipeline from letter of intent to execution with site comparison, comps, approvals and task templates. That fits a growing chain opening locations every quarter. It does not manage work orders or construction budgets.

Corom also sells invoice processing as a module. If rent and CAM invoices are the real backlog and you choose Occupier, you will still need something to capture, code and route landlord invoices for approval before they reach the ledger.

Occupier vs Yardi Corom for lease accounting

Both cover the standards most US tenants need. Yardi names ASC 842, IFRS 16 and GASB 87 for Corom, with amortization schedules, payables and general ledger syncs. Occupier lists ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87 and FRS 102 compliance reporting in its Lease Accounting add-on, along with automated journal entries, disclosure reports, an audit trail, period close automation, a NetSuite integration and ERP exports.

The practical difference is packaging. Occupier's accounting is an add-on to lease administration, and its FAQ says most customers start with administration and add accounting or transaction management as needed. Corom lists lease accounting as one of its modules. In both cases, confirm that the quote in front of you includes the accounting module, because the base product may not.

If your auditors care more about the subledger than the lease record, a dedicated accounting product may suit you better than either. We compared the two that come up most in Occupier vs Visual Lease pricing and listed the wider field in commercial lease management software pricing.

Does Occupier or Yardi Corom read the lease PDFs for you?

Occupier says yes. Its AI Abstractor pulls critical dates, rent schedules and clauses out of uploaded leases, and Occupier pairs the extraction with human review on every lease, showing confidence scores and anomaly flags. The pricing FAQ, though, lists lease abstraction among the implementation services sold as separate professional services packages, sized by portfolio and complexity. Ask how the AI Abstractor is billed for your back catalog and for amendments after go-live.

Corom's lease management page does not describe a feature that reads an executed lease and fills the fields. Yardi does have an AI platform, Virtuoso, and an AI lease abstraction module called Smart Lease, but Yardi places Smart Lease inside Voyager Commercial, which is the landlord side. Our Yardi Smart Lease pricing page covers that module. For Corom, put the question on the demo agenda and ask what your team keys during migration.

What neither quote makes cheap

Both platforms are only as good as the lease data inside them, and loading that data is the largest first-year cost most buyers do not budget. A commercial lease with amendments takes a skilled analyst two to four hours to abstract by hand. Occupier prices the work as a services package. Corom leaves it to you or an implementation partner.

The hour ranges are our arithmetic from the per-lease estimate, not a vendor figure. Plans and limits are on the pricing page. Abstracting before you sign has a second benefit: you can hand both vendors the same portfolio profile, with lease count, option dates and rent structure, and get quotes you can compare line by line.

How to choose between Occupier and Yardi Corom

1. List the systems you want to retire. If the answer is only the lease spreadsheet, Occupier is the closer fit. If it also includes work orders, construction tracking and invoice routing, Corom covers more of the list.
2. Count active leases. Under 20, you pay Occupier's minimum regardless. Ask Corom whether it has a floor.
3. Decide who logs in. Occupier's unlimited users suit teams that want store operators and brokers in the system. Ask Yardi how Corom licenses users.
4. Check your ERP. Occupier names a NetSuite integration and ERP exports. If you run NetSuite, our NetSuite lease abstraction page shows the fields its lease records need.
5. Price the data load separately. Get the abstraction line in writing from each vendor, then compare it with doing the reading yourself on software.

For retail portfolios, the clauses that cost money are rarely the ones a subledger stores. Our retail lease abstraction page lists the fields worth capturing on day one, including co-tenancy, radius restrictions, percentage rent and CAM caps.

Get the lease data ready before either demo

Whichever platform wins, its first critical-date alert and its first amortization schedule run on the dates, rent steps, abatement, options and notice periods in each lease. Upload a lease to the tool at the top of this page, check each field against the clause it links to, and export a reviewed Excel or CSV file. That file becomes the import for Occupier or Corom, and your go-live date stops depending on how fast someone can read every store's lease.
