Urbanise Strata is priced on a per-lot basis. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed — contact Urbanise for a customised quote.

No free trial is advertised.

    Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • ASX-listed Australian company (UBN) with NAB holding 15% equity — strategic backing from a Big Four bank adds credibility and financial integration capabilities
    • Manages 600,000+ lots across 18 countries — proven scale and used by approximately one-third of Australia's major strata managers
    • First strata platform with Big Four bank integration — NAB partnership (launching early 2026) enables direct levy payments and simplified reconciliation
    • Fully cloud-native architecture — no on-premise infrastructure required, accessible from any device, with ISO 27001 certification
    • Scalable per-lot pricing with volume discounts — costs decrease per lot as portfolio grows, avoiding large upfront capital investment
    • Comprehensive integrated platform covering trust accounting, levy management, arrears automation, work orders, document management, and owner portals
    • Self-service owner portals auto-created with live data — reduces routine enquiries to strata managers for levy balances, documents, and service requests
    • Australian offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane with phone support at 1300 832 852

    Cons

    • No public pricing — per-lot pricing requires a direct quote, making cost comparison with competitors difficult
    • User reviews report bugs and a sometimes cumbersome interface — one reviewer described it as 'only marginally better than using a manual system'
    • End-users (owners/residents) cannot report issues directly to Urbanise — they must go through their strata manager for support
    • No verified Xero, MYOB, or third-party accounting integrations — limited integration ecosystem beyond the NAB partnership
    • Company is currently unprofitable (negative profit per employee) — introduces some long-term platform viability risk for agencies committing to the ecosystem
    • Data hosting location specifics not publicly confirmed — AWS is stated but whether data resides in Australian regions is unverified
    • Limited verified third-party integrations (only i4T Maintenance and TSM confirmed) compared to broader software ecosystems

    Who Is Urbanise Strata Best For?

    • Large Strata Agency
    • Multi State Strata Manager
    • Cloud First Strata Agency
    • Nab Banking Client

    Urbanise Strata may not be the best fit for:

    • Small Strata Agency
    • Budget Conscious Agency
    • Agencies Wanting Third Party Integrations
    • Agencies Requiring Transparent Pricing
