MotionCRE vs Yardi Acquisition Manager.

Yardi Acquisition Manager is a module within the Yardi Voyager platform that handles deal pipeline tracking, underwriting workflows, and due diligence management for commercial real estate acquisitions. It was launched in May 2025 as an extension of Yardi's property management, asset management, and accounting suite.

The module is designed for firms already operating on Yardi Voyager. It connects acquisition workflows to the rest of the Yardi ecosystem so that deal data flows into property management and accounting after a deal closes. For firms not already using Yardi, adopting the Acquisition Manager means committing to the broader platform.

MotionCRE is a standalone deal management platform. It does not require any other software to operate. You get visual Kanban pipeline boards, deal-specific workspaces for files and tasks, contact management, financing tracking, secure data rooms, and an AI Associate that can summarize deals, analyze documents, and draft IC memos from real deal data.

Yardi Acquisition Manager is a module that lives inside Yardi Voyager. Its advantage is tight integration with property management and accounting. If your firm runs Yardi for everything post-acquisition, the Acquisition Manager keeps data flowing between systems without manual handoff. The trade-off is that adopting it means adopting the full Yardi stack, with the associated implementation timeline and cost.

No. MotionCRE is a standalone platform that covers the full pre-acquisition workflow: pipeline tracking, document management, task management, contact management, financing tracking, and AI-powered deal intelligence. It does not depend on Yardi or any other system.

If your firm already uses Yardi for property management and accounting after deals close, MotionCRE handles the acquisition side independently. Some teams use MotionCRE for deal execution and Yardi for post-close operations, keeping each function in the tool designed for it.

Yardi does not publish pricing on its website. Costs depend on which modules you need, your portfolio size, number of users, and implementation scope. Yardi Voyager is an enterprise platform and pricing typically involves an annual contract with implementation fees. The Acquisition Manager module is priced as an add-on to an existing Yardi Voyager deployment.

MotionCRE starts at $99 per month for solo operators, $179 per month for teams of three, and $299 per month for firms of five with additional seats available. All plans are month-to-month with no annual contract required, and include a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature.
