The person asking is a compliance director whose property management system already has an affordable module and who wants something on top of it, because a single Form 8823 finding can trigger recapture of federal tax credits going back up to ten years, as TenantAudit’s homepage puts it. The two vendors sit at different points in the life of a tenant file. Pronto Housing works at the front, where an applicant’s income is qualified and the certification is built, and it sells services alongside the software. TenantAudit works at the back, reading files that already exist and flagging what is wrong with them. A 3,000-unit operator can reasonably buy either, or both, and the choice turns on where its files go wrong today and which property management system they live in. This page covers where each fits, pricing, what to ask in the demo, and what the Index recorded. ## Where each fits Pronto Housing describes itself as an income qualification platform for affordable housing, offering software and tech-enabled services for leasing and compliance under LIHTC, HUD and local programs in any market. Its own press release calls it the first and only off-the-shelf affordable housing compliance software-as-a-service platform, which is the vendor’s claim. Since March 17, 2025 it has been an AppFolio Stack Solution Partner in the consulting category, providing compliance consulting services and automation software to AppFolio customers. The release names PSP Partners, Fifth Wall, Wilshire Lane Partners and Nine Four Ventures as investors, and the CEO, Christine Wendell, describes the goal as helping owners simplify and outsource their affordable compliance. The outsourcing is the difference. Pronto is for an operator that wants to hand off part of the work, not only buy a tool for its own staff. The [Pronto Housing profile](/vendors/pronto-housing/) has the dated record. TenantAudit is automated tenant-file audit software for LIHTC, Section 8, HOME and tax-exempt bond properties. It detects income violations, validates tenant income certifications, tracks recertifications with expiration alerts, and manages documents across 13 or more document types. It imports from Yardi Voyager, RealPage OneSite, MRI Bostonpost and Excel or CSV. It sells to owners, housing finance agencies, tax credit investors and syndicators, and third-party compliance consultants. It is self-serve, with a free trial. The [TenantAudit profile](/vendors/tenantaudit/) carries the sources. The property management system is the first filter. TenantAudit’s imports match operators on [Yardi](/property-management-software/integrations/yardi/), RealPage or MRI, and the CSV route covers everyone else, including an operator that just acquired a portfolio on a second system and wants one audit across both. Pronto’s only connection in our database is the AppFolio Stack listing, and that is a consulting listing rather than a documented data integration. An operator on AppFolio has a reason to look at Pronto first. An operator on Yardi, RealPage or MRI should ask Pronto what moves between the systems before assuming anything does. The second filter is the program mix. Pronto names LIHTC, HUD and local programs. TenantAudit names LIHTC, Section 8, HOME and bond. A portfolio that carries USDA Rural Development or a city’s inclusionary rules should ask each vendor about those programs by name, because neither names them. The third filter is the work itself. If the problem is files that leave the leasing office wrong, with incomes miscalculated or documents missing, the fix belongs at qualification, which is where Pronto works. If the files are mostly right but nobody checks every one before the state monitor does, an automated audit across the whole portfolio is the cheaper fix, which is where TenantAudit works. ## Pricing models TenantAudit publishes a price, one of the few vendors in the category to do so alongside [HousingIntellect](/vendors/housingintellect/) and [Veritay](/vendors/veritay/). Plans start at $49 a month, with a free trial. Its homepage also states that its automated audits cost $0.50 to $1.00 per file against $150 to $300 per file for manual review. The second figure is TenantAudit’s framing of the alternative, not a quote from any review firm, so check it against your own invoices. Ask which plan a 3,000-unit portfolio falls into, whether pricing is per property, per unit or per file audited, and what the trial covers. Pronto Housing does not publish pricing, and its pricing page returned a 404 when it was checked. Because it sells software and services together, ask for the two priced separately: the platform fee, and the per-certification or per-unit fee for the work its staff does. Ask for the contract term and what an AppFolio customer pays compared with an operator on another system. ## What to ask each in a demo For Pronto Housing, ask what an applicant does online and what still reaches your staff on paper, since the category’s buyers weigh how much of the certification a resident can complete themselves. Ask who at Pronto does the services part of the work, what credentials they hold, and who signs the certification. Ask what data moves between Pronto and AppFolio, in which direction, and whether a completed certification lands on the resident record without retyping. If you are not on AppFolio, ask the same question about your system. Ask where its income and asset calculations stand against current HOTMA guidance. For TenantAudit, ask what an audit actually checks on a tenant income certification and how it reports a finding. Ask how it handles a property that carries LIHTC and Section 8 rules at once, with two sets of income rules and two calendars. Ask how often the import from Yardi, RealPage or MRI runs and whether corrections flow back or are keyed in by hand. Ask what happens after a flag: does the software stop at the finding, or does it track the correction to closure? Ask the same HOTMA question. For both, ask what the product keeps for an audit trail and for how long, since the recapture window the vendors quote is ten years. ## What the Index shows The live table above carries the current figures for both vendors, and their rows at [Pronto Housing on the Index](/ai-shortlist-index/affordable-housing-compliance/pronto-housing/) and [TenantAudit on the Index](/ai-shortlist-index/affordable-housing-compliance/tenantaudit/) show the prompts and sources. Our reading is that the engine places these two side by side on the same short lists rather than treating one as the default, so the choice comes down to the workflow and PMS questions above. This is one run per prompt per engine, so treat it as a first reading. ## Which fits you Pronto Housing fits an operator on AppFolio, or one whose files go wrong at qualification, that wants a partner to take on part of the certification work and is willing to pay for services it cannot price from a website. TenantAudit fits an operator on Yardi, RealPage or MRI, or one running several systems after an acquisition, whose staff can do the certifications and wants every file checked automatically before an auditor sees it, at a price it can read before the first call. A 3,000-unit operator with both problems could run Pronto at the front and TenantAudit behind it. Ask each vendor whether it has seen that arrangement. The [Preferred Compliance Solutions alternatives page](/property-management-software/affordable-housing-compliance/preferred-compliance-solutions-alternatives/) covers the review firms and the rest of the field, and the [affordable housing compliance guide](/property-management-software/affordable-housing-compliance/) covers how to evaluate the category, including what your PMS’s own affordable module already does. The [vendor list for the category](/property-management-software/affordable-housing-compliance/vendors/) puts every vendor in one table. If you sell compliance software to affordable operators and want to know how the Index measures this category, [AI visibility for proptech companies](/ai-visibility-for-proptech-companies/) explains the method and what the fix costs. ## How the Index sees these vendors Affordable Housing Compliance, October 2026 edition: 50 runs, one per prompt.
