Comparison questions operators ask us
Straight answers to the questions that come up during vendor evaluations.
How is Storage Facility Creator different from other storage management platforms?
The biggest structural differences are pricing transparency, feature packaging, and user licensing. SFC publishes a flat $75 per facility, per month — the same rate for everyone, visible on the pricing page, with core features and unlimited users included. Many platforms also price per facility, but often via quotes that vary by plan, with feature tiers or add-on modules layered on top. SFC also includes a built-in Global Do Not Rent network. Always confirm specifics with any vendor you evaluate.
Is SFC cheaper than legacy storage software?
Sometimes, and sometimes not — but it is predictable. SFC is $75 per facility per month with core features included. Other vendors often vary pricing by plan, modules, processing volume, and negotiation, which makes raw dollar comparisons difficult without a full quote. The honest framing: SFC trades quote-based flexibility for a published, predictable rate. Get an itemized quote from any vendor you are considering (including every module you actually need) and compare line-by-line.
Do I pay more per facility as I add sites?
No. The per-facility rate is the same at your first site and your twentieth — $75/month each. Two facilities bill at $150/month, three at $225/month, and so on. There are no volume surcharges and no tier jumps as you grow. Core features and unlimited users come with every facility.
Should I switch from my current software to SFC?
If you are satisfied with your current platform, there is no urgent reason to switch. The case for SFC gets stronger if you want core features included without tier gating, unlimited users per facility instead of per-seat pricing, or the built-in Global Do Not Rent network. Run a side-by-side demo with your actual workflows before deciding.
Can I migrate data from my current software?
Yes. Migration support is available for tenants, units, balances, and payment methods based on the export formats your current platform provides. Complexity varies by platform and by how custom your setup is. See the Migration page for scope and timelines.
Does SFC have feature parity with legacy storage management software?
SFC covers the operational core: tenants, units, billing, ledgers, autopay, delinquency workflows, messaging, reporting, e-sign, and integrations with Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, and QuickBooks. Established platforms have often accrued broader partner ecosystems around gate systems, kiosks, and call centers over many years — that breadth is a real strength of incumbents. If your operation depends on a specific niche integration that SFC does not yet support, tell us during your evaluation so fit can be confirmed up front.
What should I look for when comparing vendors?
Focus on published vs. quote-based pricing, per-seat vs. unlimited users, which modules are included in the base rate, migration support, integration breadth for your specific hardware partners, and how transparent the vendor is about compliance documentation. Bring your current quote to a demo and walk real workflows — not just a feature checklist.
