AppFolio

AppFolio is a Santa Barbara, California cloud-based real estate technology company providing property management software to residential, commercial, community association (HOA), student housing, single-family, and affordable housing operators, plus investment management tooling for sponsors and funds. Its flagship AppFolio Performance Platform unifies workflow automation, accounting and reporting, marketing and leasing, maintenance, resident communication, and resident services on a single multi-tenant SaaS. AppFolio embeds Realm-X, an in-house agentic AI layer (Realm-X Assistant, Performers, Flows) directly into the platform rather than as an add-on. Integrations are delivered through the AppFolio Stack marketplace, where certified partners (ButterflyMX, Conservice, HappyCo, Knock, Lowe's, Property Meld, and many more) connect via the AppFolio Stack API. The Stack API is gated behind a partner application, security-compliance questionnaire, and terms-of-service signing; OAuth 2.0, a sandbox environment, webhooks, and an OpenAPI/Swagger reference are made available only to approved partners through the developer.appfolio.com portal, so no public specification is reachable for catalog inclusion. AppFolio's revenue model is per-unit SaaS subscription plus value-added services (payments, screening, insurance, marketing). The AppFolio GitHub organization publishes internal Ruby on Rails, React, and tooling libraries (react-gears, ae_page_objects, store_base_sti_class) but no public API SDK, CLI, or OpenAPI artifact.

AppFolio is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Property Management, Real Estate, Residential, Commercial, and Community Associations.

AppFolio’s developer surface includes Stack Overflow tag, GitHub presence, engineering blog, pricing, YouTube channel, and 21 more developer resources.
