Homebase vs Stratis
When you choose a proptech partner, you know that your choice will impact your community for years to come. While Homebase and Stratis both offer a range of smart building features, they have important differences.
- Must raise rent to increase NOI, which can lead to tenant dissatisfaction and higher turnover rates.
- Requires an expensive hub to connect all smart devices in the unit to WiFi.
- May be more expensive than other options on the market, with added costs for the hub and limited return on investment.
- If a resident unplugs or breaks the hub, all smart devices in the unit will be out of commission, leading to significant downtime and lost revenue.
- Provides Bulk WiFi through a partnership with Whitesky. This is less secure than Managed WiFi.
- Residents must manage their WiFi through a web portal because WiFi is not built into the resident app.
- Choosing a WiFi plan is not built into the resident move-in experience.
- Does not offer a Package Management solution.
