PropCredit vs AirToken: When to Use Each

Two different currencies, two different jobs. Here's how to plan your monthly allotment and when to buy top-up packs.

The short version

PropCredits import properties. Every property you import uses one credit, regardless of strategy. Full-Access users get monthly credits (5 on House Hacker, 10 on Investor, 20 on Developer).

AirTokens estimate Airbnb-style unit performance via market data. One token = one unique unit configuration. Full-Access users get monthly tokens (2 on House Hacker, 5 on Investor, 8 on Developer).

PropCredits — for importing properties

What they cost in the app to use

1 PropCredit per property import. That covers loading the property data — bed/bath, sqft, year built, rent comps, value estimate, tax assessment — into your portfolio. Once imported, that property stays in your portfolio forever; you can re-analyze, change strategies, and adjust assumptions without using more credits.

What you get with Full-Access

  • 20 PropCredits granted monthly
  • Credits roll over while your subscription is active
  • Need more? Top up with 1-, 5-, 10-, or 20-credit packs

When to buy packs

  • You're underwriting 25+ properties in one push (e.g., a wholesaler dump you're vetting)
  • You're at month-end and your allotment is gone but you have one more deal to look at
  • You're on the Free tier (3 saved properties) and want to import a 4th without subscribing

AirTokens — for Short-Term Rental analysis

What they cost in the app to use

1 AirToken per unique unit configuration. A 4-unit building where all 4 units are 1-bed/1-bath = 1 AirToken (one config). A 4-unit building with 2 different unit types (e.g., two 1-bed and two 2-bed) = 2 AirTokens. Manual Short-Term Rental analysis (entering your own ADR and occupancy) uses 0 AirTokens.

Why Short-Term Rental uses tokens instead of credits

The AirROI nightly-rate and occupancy data costs money. Prop-Folio passes through a fraction of that cost via AirTokens so single-family long-term rental users aren't subsidizing Short-Term Rental investors.

What you get with Full-Access

  • 5 AirTokens granted monthly
  • Top-up packs available: 1 ($1.99), 10 ($15.99 — $1.60 each), 25 ($34.99 — $1.40 each, best value)

When to buy packs

  • You're analyzing an Short-Term Rental portfolio acquisition with many unit configs
  • You're underwriting 6+ Short-Term Rental deals a month and burning through the 5 monthly tokens
  • You have a Full-Access plan and want to run more monthly AirToken-powered analyses than your tier includes

Quick decision tree

Are you importing a property?

PropCredit (or use the auto-deducted monthly allotment).

Are you running Airbnb-style nightly rate + occupancy estimates?

AirToken per unit configuration.

Are you doing both?

Both. Importing the property uses 1 credit. Running Short-Term Rental analysis on its unit configurations uses tokens.

How to view your balance

Open the Credits screen from the bottom tab bar. You'll see your current PropCredit balance, AirToken balance, and pack purchase options. Balances also appear on the Account screen under your subscription card.
