## Where Alto is strong

- A genuine all-in-one agency CRM: sales, lettings, property management and accounts, rather than lettings-only.
- Alto Intelligence applies AI to everyday agency jobs — appraisals, listings, matching and progression — on the CRM record.
- PropertyFile gives landlords and tenants a shared portal for documents, payments and maintenance.
- Classic reports can be exported to CSV or Excel, which is useful for audits and migrations.
- An app marketplace so agencies can add specialist tools without abandoning the CRM.

## Where Yorlet is different

- Native card, Direct Debit, Balance and Global FX, rather than CRM accounting plus marketplace apps for the money layer.
- OneMove is a native iOS and Android resident app, with Loyalty — a different shape from PropertyFile as a branded web portal.
- An MCP connection and no-code Workflows on live tenancy data, rather than in-product CRM AI only.
- Lettings-led operators do not need a sales CRM as the system of record.

## Pricing model

Compare on the same scope — leasing, payments, owner accounting and the modules you actually use — not a seat count alone.

- Alto: **Subscription, pricing on request**. Alto describes a subscription model and does not publish list prices. Total cost often includes the CRM plus marketplace apps for maintenance, referencing or marketing. Request a current quote and compare it with a single Yorlet platform fee.
- Yorlet: **Published platform pricing**. Yorlet publishes its platform pricing, so you can scope the modules you need before a sales call. See [Yorlet pricing](https://www.yorlet.com/pricing).

## Verdict

Alto is a capable cloud CRM if you need sales, lettings and client accounting together. It is less compelling if you want native payments, financial accounts, multi-currency, a native resident app or an MCP connection without assembling marketplace apps.
