Pricing

Plan Price Includes Checked
6Storage Management Software custom pricing [src]
The pricing page's CTA reads "CONTACT US FOR CUSTOM PRICING". No period is stated explicitly; "monthly" is inferred from the Master Software and Services Agreement, which prices its Reactivation Fee as "one month of Service Fees" and describes recurring invoices. Requested https://us.6storage.com/self-storage-software/pricing/, which 301-redirects through https://www.6storage.com/self-storage-software/pricing/ to https://www.6storage.com/self-storage-management-software/#pricing — the URL recorded as this plan's source. The bare domain 6storage.com and the "us." subdomain both redirect to www.6storage.com; there is no separate non-US site with different pricing. Curl reached this page directly (200 OK through the redirect chain); it was not blocked, contrary to the initial screen note.
One dashboard (multi-location management, facility sitemap, lead management, XML invoicing, merchandise management); automatic invoicing, payment reminders, late fee calculations, and payment processor integration; role-based user permissions; email and phone support with a shared account manager; templated email and SMS messaging. The Simple Tenant Portal is available only with the Website Services add-on, not included by default.

Delinquency and lien management Partial [src]
Automated late fee calculation, "Manage Late Payments," and (via 6Security) automatic access denial for past-due tenants and automatic restoration on payment are built in.

6Storage sells its own Tenant Protection Plan (coverage $1,000–$5,000 for units, $2,000 for parking, no deductible, online claims).
