Why Unit Manager Pro beats 6Storage
- You pay for leased units, not the size of your facility. A 200-unit site with 50 units let pays for 50. Empty units cost nothing, so your bill only grows when your income does.
- No minimum charge. Start paying from your first leased unit, with no tiers or unit-count bands.
- One flat rate, everything included. Website, online booking, branded tenant portal, automated billing, notices, and gate and smart-lock set-up are all included in one flat rate, with no add-ons.
- Gates and smart locks set up for you. Our team integrates your gate or smart-lock hardware on your account; tell us what you have.
- More than one site? Multi-site is available on request, and our team scopes it with you.
- Published pricing and a 14-day free trial, where 6Storage offers a demo.
- Website builder and tenant portal included in the same plan.
What 6Storage offers, and the catch
6Storage has some features worth knowing about. Most come with a catch: a quote instead of a published price, a higher tier, or an extra monthly fee. Unit Manager Pro covers the everyday needs of independent operators without them.
- All locations in one account and one dashboard.
- Gate-access partner integrations, plus a separate access-control product.
- E-lease and e-sign, and automatic late-fee calculations.
Our verdict: Unit Manager Pro
For independent and growing operators, Unit Manager Pro is the clear choice over 6Storage.
- Unit Manager Pro wins if: you want a transparent price with no minimum that you can try without talking to sales, with extra sites available on request.
- Everything is included. Website, online booking, branded tenant portal, automated billing, notices, and gate and smart-lock set-up are all included in one flat rate, with no add-ons.
- You pay only for leased units. Empty units cost nothing, so your bill follows your occupancy.
- You can prove it in 14 days. Start a free trial with no credit card and run a real booking, payment and rent change. Our software comparison shows how.
Switching from 6Storage to Unit Manager Pro
Moving is mostly a records job, not a technology job. Do these in order, and keep 6Storage running until the last step is done.
- Ask 6Storage for a full export of tenants, units, balances and signed agreements, and check the format before you cancel anything.
- Create your units in Unit Manager Pro first, then import a small tenant file as a test.
- Reconcile balances, deposits and credits by hand. The tenant import is not an accounting-history import.
- Agree the last collection date in 6Storage and the first in Unit Manager Pro. Tenants may need to authorise payment again.
- Read the migration guide for what the import does and does not carry across.
