Why Leasecake wins

Complex systems like MRI can make it harder to see problems early and control costs.

Real control without enterprise drag.

Leasecake delivers full lease admin and ASC 842–ready accounting in one system, without six-month implementations, multi-year contracts, or consultant dependency that tools like MRI require.

AI that does more than abstraction.

Leasecake’s AI goes beyond ingestion to answer questions, surface risk, and flag issues early—while most competitors stop at clause extraction and reporting.

Adoption-first design that keeps data clean.

Teams across real estate, finance, legal, and leadership actually use Leasecake day to day, which keeps lease data current and trustworthy instead of decaying behind “power users.”

Lower total cost of ownership that scales.

Predictable pricing, fast time-to-value, and fewer internal headcount demands make Leasecake materially cheaper and less fragile over time than enterprise platforms.

MRI:
Common risk scenarios

Both MRI and Leasecake manage leases. The difference is how quickly risk becomes visible and how much effort it takes to respond.

SCENARIO 1

A lease gets changed or amended

With MRI

Changes are processed through rigid workflows

Manual steps and service involvement slow updates

Downstream systems wait on reconciliations

Risk increases while data catches up

With Leasecake

Changes are updated once and reflected everywhere

Automation updates dependencies immediately

AI highlights downstream impacts early

No lag between operations and accounting

Most systems can check the same boxes on paper. The real differences show up in how much effort, risk, and dependency the system creates over time.

"How much of the system depends on services or specialists?"
"How does the system surface risk automatically?"
"What happens when leases change frequently?"
"How much AI and automation is actually in use today?"
