Measurabl vs Deepki vs Yardi
Three of the biggest names a global real-estate investor actually shortlists: the US ESG specialist, the European ESG specialist, and the property system of record.
For a global real-estate investor building an ESG stack, this is the shortlist. Measurabl dominates US and GRESB-oriented real-estate ESG. Deepki brings European regulatory depth, institutional assurance credentials, and bundled advisory. Yardi is the property management system many of these portfolios already run, with ESG modules attached to the accounting core.
Each has a defensible claim. Measurabl has ecosystem position and GRESB fluency. Deepki has ISAE 3000 and SOC 2 Type II assurance and the European regulatory coverage that matters for SFDR and CSRD. Yardi has the integration advantage that comes from already being the system of record.
They also share a constraint. All three consume utility data more than they collect it, and for a portfolio spanning continents that data arrives through a mix of feeds, uploads, and asset managers filling in spreadsheets. The reporting layer choice is real; the input problem sits underneath whichever you pick.

Competitor details are taken from each vendor’s own published material and were accurate at the time of writing: Measurabl, Deepki, Yardi.
What each vendor is actually good at
Measurabl
The most widely adopted ESG data platform for commercial real estate, covering benchmarking, GRESB submission, and portfolio sustainability reporting.
Best fit for
REITs and real-estate investors whose primary requirement is portfolio ESG disclosure and GRESB performance.
Where Measurabl wins
- Dominant adoption among real-estate investors and GRESB submitters
- Deep benchmarking and portfolio ESG reporting features
- Established data-sharing relationships across the CRE ecosystem
- Broad market recognition in institutional procurement
Where Nectar wins
- Nectar goes deeper on the bill itself, with line-item parsing and published accuracy
- Coverage of 7,000+ providers globally, including non-real-estate sites
- A data completeness view with one-click actions rather than a coverage report
- A raw data API for brokers and software companies
Deepki
A European ESG data platform for real-estate portfolios, combining benchmarking, compliance reporting, and advisory with institutional assurance credentials.
Best fit for
Global real-estate investors needing institutional-grade ESG reporting with European regulatory depth.
Where Deepki wins
- Institutional trust with global real-estate investors
- ISAE 3000 and SOC 2 Type II assurance posture
- Deep European regulatory coverage and bundled advisory
- Scale across many countries and asset types
Where Nectar wins
- Nectar goes deeper on US utility billing complexity and line-item parsing
- Much faster onboarding, because collection is automated rather than configured per asset
- Continuous anomaly detection at account level
- A raw data API for brokers and software companies
Yardi
A dominant real-estate property management system with utility and ESG modules layered onto the core accounting and operations platform.
Best fit for
Property owners already standardized on Yardi who want utility data inside the system their teams use daily.
Where Yardi wins
- Deep integration with the property accounting system of record
- Enormous installed base across commercial and multifamily real estate
- Operational workflows already familiar to property teams
- One vendor relationship across property operations
Where Nectar wins
- Nectar is purpose-built for utility data rather than a module on a PMS
- Line-item parsing including demand, supply, delivery, taxes, and fees
- Coverage across non-real-estate sites in the same organization
- A completeness view and audit trail built for sustainability assurance
The layer none of these three operate
Every platform on this page depends on utility data arriving from somewhere, and none of them treats collecting it as the core product. That is not a criticism. It is a description of where each one chose to add value. It does mean the question buyers should ask is not which of the three is best, but which one solves the problem you actually have, and whether the data underneath any of them is good enough to trust.
Nectar operates that underneath layer. We connect directly to more than 7,000 utility providers globally, parse every line item (demand, supply, delivery, taxes, fees) at 99.2% accuracy with human QA on anything flagged, and show completeness as a live view at site, account, and meter level. Every value links back to the bill image it came from.
That is why Nectar most often runs alongside one of these platforms rather than instead of it. The reporting layer you choose is a real decision with real trade-offs; the data feeding it should not be the weak point in either case.
What assurance actually tests
When an assurance provider reviews a sustainability disclosure, they do not audit the platform. They sample reported figures and ask what evidence supports each one. A number that cannot be traced to an underlying record is a finding regardless of how sophisticated the system that produced it.
This is where the collection layer determines whether a reporting platform can be defended. If utility data arrived by spreadsheet, by manual entry, or by an integration that discarded the source document, the evidence chain has a hole in it that no amount of methodology closes.
Nectar retains the bill image, the parsed line items, the meter identifiers, and the service period together, so answering an assurance question is a lookup rather than an investigation, and estimated values are labeled as estimates rather than silently mixed with metered ones.
Where Nectar fits
Choose Deepki for European regulatory depth and institutional assurance, Measurabl for GRESB and US real-estate ESG, Yardi if property accounting integration outweighs disclosure depth. Whichever you pick, put one global utility data layer underneath it: inconsistent regional inputs are what turns an ESG program into a reconciliation exercise.
Frequently asked questions
US or European ESG platform for a global portfolio?
Follow the reporting obligation that is hardest to satisfy. If SFDR and CSRD dominate, Deepki’s regulatory depth and assurance posture are the stronger fit. If GRESB and US investor reporting dominate, Measurabl’s ecosystem position is hard to displace. Do not run both for the same assets.
Should we just use Yardi if it is already our system of record?
For utility cost inside property accounting, the integration argument is strong. For investor-facing ESG disclosure with assurance, a PMS module is usually not sufficient. It is built around dollars allocated to properties rather than metered consumption with provenance.
How do we get consistent data across continents?
From one collection layer rather than per-region processes. Nectar covers 7,000+ providers globally with native currency and unit handling preserved through parsing, so one completeness view and one audit trail spans the portfolio regardless of market.
What does assurance actually check?
That reported figures trace to underlying records, and that the reporting boundary is complete. Both are properties of how data was collected, not of how it was formatted, which is why the collection layer decides whether any of these platforms can be defended.
