Anyone looking for an alternative to etg24 is usually not looking for a different interface, but for a different fit: more accounting depth, a different pricing model, or a solution that sits on top of the software you already run instead of replacing it. This overview sorts the common options by exactly those criteria. All details come from the vendors' own websites, as of August 2026.
What etg24 covers
etg24 is cloud-based property management software for the German market. According to the vendor, it covers case handling, task and appointment management, document management, invoice processing and receipt verification, an owner portal with an app, and modules for owner meetings and circular resolutions. For communication there is an email inbox and caller identification, plus the AI assistant AIMO.
Pricing for management companies starts, according to etg24, at 90 euros per month (Basis), 175.50 euros (Pro) and 400.50 euros (Enterprise), each plus VAT. For self-managers etg24 bills per property, from 29 to 99 euros per month and property including VAT. The details are on the etg24 page for management companies.
Why management companies compare at all
In practice, four questions sit behind the search for an alternative:
- Do you need integrated accounting, or do you already have a system for that?
- Does a flat price suit you better than billing per property or per unit?
- Do you want to replace your existing software, or extend it?
- How much migration effort can you absorb while the business keeps running?
The fourth question is regularly underestimated. Switching systems ties up team capacity for weeks, in exactly the team that already has too little time.
Fully integrated software with accounting
Immoware24 describes itself as a digital all-in-one solution for property managers and lists modules including rental management, condominium management, individual unit management, accounting, operating cost statements, online banking, document management and the Portal24 for tenants and owners. The site does not publish prices.
SCALARA positions itself as legally compliant property management software for condominium and rental management, listing accounting, payments, communication and the AI assistant LARA. According to SCALARA, the entry tier is 149 euros per month plus VAT in the first year for up to 100 units, and 199 euros in the second year for up to 250 units.
This category is the right one if accounting should live inside the system. It is also the one with the highest switching cost.
Platforms that sit on top of existing systems
casavi calls itself a platform for the real estate industry, covering customer communication, case management and service provider management. Important for your decision: casavi explicitly describes itself as a central platform with open interfaces that connects to existing software rather than replacing it. If you want to keep your accounting, you do not necessarily have to swap the whole system.
In 2026, AI is no longer a differentiator
One point missing from most comparison lists: an AI assistant on its own is no longer a selection criterion, because practically every vendor has one. etg24 has AIMO, SCALARA has LARA, casavi has casavi AI. What matters is not whether there is AI, but how far it goes.
The difference is between assistance and completion. etg24 describes its AI as automatically analysing and assigning incoming messages, recognising invoices, and creating suitable reply suggestions that can then be sent or adjusted. That is assistance: a human stays in every single case. With casavi AI Answer, casavi goes a step further towards telephony and describes automatic call handling, in the Pro variant with context-based follow-up questions.
For your decision that means: in the demo, do not ask whether AI is on board. Ask what share of incoming enquiries the system closes without a human, and what happens when an answer is wrong.
When the software is not the problem, the inbox is
Some management companies discover during the comparison that their software is actually fine. The bottleneck sits elsewhere: in the daily volume of tenant and owner enquiries, which eats time regardless of the system. In that case switching systems is expensive and does not solve the problem.
That is exactly where we work at Vectimo. Our tenant inquiry agent sits on your existing email inbox, answers standard cases on its own and puts complex ones in front of you for approval. Your management software stays as it is. This is explicitly not an alternative to etg24, Immoware24 or SCALARA, but an addition for the case where the software fits and the communication no longer scales. Where your vendor covers this natively, that is the shorter path. More on our page about AI for property managers.
How to run the comparison
- First list what you want to keep: accounting, portal, banking connection.
- Work out the pricing model for your actual size, flat versus per property.
- Ask the demo to show the share of enquiries closed fully automatically.
- Ask about migration time and who moves the legacy data.
- Check data processing under Art. 28 GDPR and the server location.
If you end up between two systems, the feature list rarely decides. The question that does is which of the two your team can actually roll out while the business keeps running.
Frequently asked questions
What does etg24 cost?
According to etg24, tiers for management companies start at 90 euros per month (Basis), 175.50 euros (Pro) and 400.50 euros (Enterprise), each plus VAT. For self-managers etg24 bills per property, from 29 to 99 euros per month and property including VAT. The vendor's current pricing page is always authoritative.
What alternatives to etg24 are there?
Two categories, depending on your need. Fully integrated management software with accounting, such as Immoware24 or SCALARA. Or platforms that sit on top of existing systems, such as casavi, which explicitly describes itself as a platform with open interfaces.
Does etg24 have AI?
Yes. etg24 calls its AI assistant AIMO. According to the vendor, it assigns incoming messages automatically, recognises invoices and creates reply suggestions that can then be sent or adjusted. In 2026 an AI assistant alone is no longer a differentiator; SCALARA and casavi have one too.
Do I have to switch software to automate tenant enquiries?
Not necessarily. If accounting and portal are fine and only the volume of enquiries is the problem, communication can be automated on the existing inbox without replacing the core system. First check how far your current vendor's AI already goes.
