CAMAudit vs MRI Software: CAM Reconciliation
MRI Software is a leading enterprise platform for commercial real estate with deep CAM recovery capabilities. CAMAudit is a purpose-built CAM audit tool that requires no professional services to deploy. Here's how they compare.
TL;DR — Key Differences
- MRI handles your full property operation at enterprise scale. CAMAudit does CAM reconciliation and audit only.
- MRI's own G2 users note: "Some setup can be difficult to do without MRI assistance — but the cost is pretty high." CAMAudit is self-serve from day one.
- Using MRI already? Export CAM expense data via Rapid Reports to CSV and verify it in CAMAudit — no credentials needed.
At a Glance
| CAMAudit | MRI Commercial Management | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | CAM audit & reconciliation | Full property management |
| Setup | Self-serve, CSV upload | Professional services required |
| Starting price | $250/building/month | ~$10,000/year |
| Lease abstraction | AI + mandatory human verify | AI + human verify |
| Anti-integration | Yes — any CSV export | N/A |
Setup Complexity and Cost
MRI is widely considered the most implementation-intensive of the major CRE platforms. Professional services for initial configuration are standard practice, not optional. G2 reviewers consistently note that complex configurations — including CAM pools and recovery groups — require either MRI Professional Services or a certified MRI partner.
CAMAudit requires no implementation. Upload a CSV export of your CAM expense data and receive a BOMA 2024 compliant reconciliation in minutes.

CAM Reconciliation Capabilities
MRI Commercial Management supports sophisticated CAM recovery: expense pools, escalation groups, occupancy adjustments, and tenant-level overrides. MRI Angus markets itself as offering “the easiest CAM reconciliations you'll ever do” — user reviews suggest the reality is more nuanced.
MRI also offers a managed services option — outsourced CAM processing where MRI's team handles reconciliation on your behalf. This is a genuine differentiator for operators who want to fully offload the work.
MRI Strengths
- • Complex retail CAM pools
- • Managed services (outsourced)
- • Enterprise-scale portfolios
- • Global deployments
- • Deep ERP integration
MRI Pain Points
- • High implementation cost
- • Expert help required for setup
- • Slow performance on large datasets
- • Steep learning curve
- • Bank reconciliation can take minutes
CAMAudit uses deterministic Python calculations — no AI for financial math, no configuration required. Every result is reproducible and audit-defensible.
