What Cradle is
Cradle is cloud lease accounting software, and it is the most openly priced product on these pages. Its pricing page (opens in a new tab) lists real figures, unlimited users on every tier, no minimum subscription length and a 30 day free trial — and it says so publicly rather than behind a sales call.
This page compares it with iLeasePro for one specific case: a private US company with roughly 25 to 500 leases, reporting under ASC 842. Every claim below links to Cradle's own pages or its Capterra profile, and was checked on the date shown.
What Cradle covers
Cradle publishes its prices, which almost nothing else in this category does, and covers more standards than iLeasePro: ASC 842, IFRS 16 and AASB 16, GASB 87, GASB 96 and FRS 102. Its own material says it can serve an organization with one lease or a multinational managing hundreds. Its published plans carry unlimited users and cancel at any time.
Where iLeasePro fits
Below 20 leases, this is a genuine like-for-like: both products publish what they cost. That is worth saying plainly, because it is not true of any other comparison on this site.
Above 20 leases it changes. Cradle's published tiers stop there and its Enterprise band — 20 to 10,000 or more — is quoted on request. A private US company with 25 to 500 leases is above Cradle's published range and inside the range iLeasePro publishes every tier for, with a calculator that prices your exact lease count and selected modules.

Capabilities, from the same source
Both columns below are taken from each product's own Capterra profile, checked on . Using one directory for both sides makes the two lists comparable in a way that reading two marketing sites cannot. Capterra's capability data is supplied by each vendor, so treat it as what each vendor claims, measured against the same checklist.

Price, support and implementation
Cradle is the exception on these pages, and it deserves to be said clearly: it publishes real prices — a Small plan at 99 dollars a month for up to 10 leases and a Regular plan at 199 dollars a month for up to 20, with unlimited users, no minimum term and a 30 day trial. Most of this category will not tell you anything until you book a call.
The difference is where the published range ends. Cradle stops at 20 leases; everything from 20 to 10,000 or more is Contact Us. iLeasePro keeps publishing through 500, with a calculator that prices your exact lease count. If your portfolio is under 20 leases, both products will tell you the cost today. If it is 25 to 500, only one still will.
Price is not the only thing worth pinning down before you commit. Support and implementation decide how fast the software starts working and what it costs you in time, and they are the two most often described without a number attached. iLeasePro puts a figure on all three: every pricing tier published, five hours of support at no cost, and implementation in under five days — which can be done inside those support hours. What Cradle states about each is in the table above.
iLeasePro
Published tiers across the whole 1 to 500 lease range, with a calculator that prices your exact lease count and selected modules before you speak to anyone. Above 500 leases, quoted individually.
Five hours of support at no cost, and implementation in under five days — which can be done inside those hours.
Cradle
Published tiers up to 20 leases, with unlimited users and a 30 day trial. Above 20 leases, quoted on request.
Cradle and iLeasePro: common questions
- What is the best Cradle Accounting alternative for a company with 25 to 500 leases?
- iLeasePro. Cradle publishes its prices for portfolios up to 20 leases and quotes above that. A 25 to 500 lease portfolio is above its published range, and it is the range iLeasePro publishes every tier for, with a calculator that prices your exact lease count.
- Does Cradle publish its pricing?
- Yes, and more openly than most of this category. Its pricing page lists a Small plan at 99 dollars a month for up to 10 leases and a Regular plan at 199 dollars a month for up to 20, both with unlimited users, no minimum subscription length and a 30 day free trial. Portfolios from 20 to 10,000 or more are Contact Us. Verified August 25, 2026.
- Where does Cradle's published pricing stop?
- At 20 leases. Its Enterprise tier covers 20 to 10,000 or more and is quoted on request, so a portfolio of 25 to 500 leases sits above the published range.
- Which accounting standards does each one support?
- Cradle states ASC 842, IFRS 16 and AASB 16, GASB 87, GASB 96 and FRS 102. iLeasePro is purpose-built for ASC 842 under US GAAP, which is the standard private US companies report under.
- How do the free offers compare?
- They are different shapes. Cradle offers a 30 day free trial across its plans. iLeaseXpress, the iLeasePro product for small portfolios, is free for up to 5 leases with no time limit.
