Of the platforms Kenyan landlords compare against Kodi, Silqu is the closest match in scope — it's one of the few others that also lists visitor management and a caretaker/security portal alongside rent collection. So this comparison is less about "who has the feature" and more about how deep each platform's visitor and security tools actually go.
Based on its own published feature list, Silqu covers a broad set of property management functions:
Silqu genuinely lists both visitor management and a security-facing portal — this isn't a case where one platform has the category and the other doesn't. The difference is in what each actually does inside those categories.
Kodi's visitor flow requires OTP verification and real-time approval from the specific tenant being visited — not just a tracked log entry. See visitor management software.
Where Silqu's security coverage is a caretaker/security portal, Kodi's is built around guards scanning GPS-tagged, timestamped QR checkpoints on a defined route.
A checkpoint that isn't scanned in its expected window is flagged automatically — see security & patrol management.
