Are any features locked behind a higher plan?
No, and there is no higher plan. Accounting, compliance monitoring, leases, dispatch, the shared calendar, messaging, voice and video calls, the phone apps and connecting an AI assistant are all part of the account. The only charges are the transaction fee on payments, the per-listing advertising fee while a unit is vacant, and — only where roommates choose to each pay their own share — the flat monthly rent-splitting fee. Two things are not switched on at the moment rather than being held back for a price: applicant screening needs a consumer reporting agency connected, and rent reporting needs a furnisher agreement with the bureaus — each has its own article saying so.

What Seayora charges
Every feature is included in them. There is no plan to upgrade to, no per-seat charge, no setup fee, no gateway fee and no flat platform subscription — accounting, compliance, leases, dispatch, messaging, calls and the phone apps are all part of the account.
- A transaction fee when money moves through Seayora — a percentage of rent collected (lower for management companies than for individual landlords), or of what a service pro invoices. It is the same charge the ledger and a receipt call a processing fee.
- A listing advertising fee: a free period per listing, then a monthly charge for that listing, taken a month ahead while the unit is vacant and advertised, with the unused days refunded when it rents or is taken down. It is not an account subscription — a fully occupied portfolio of any size pays nothing in advertising.
- A flat monthly rent-splitting fee per home when roommates choose to each pay their own share, shared equally between the roommates and collected with each share (see Splitting rent with roommates).
- A 3% card fee, paid by the tenant, when they choose to pay rent by credit card. It is shown before they pay. A bank transfer and a debit card carry no fee, and where state law prohibits card surcharges the card option is not offered at all.
