Minimum units or minimum fee

The vendor states outright that there is no minimum unit count and no monthly fee, so a single-unit landlord pays nothing to hold an account.

Unit caps

There are no plans to be moved between, so adding a unit never changes the price; the vendor says it stays free however many units you add.

As your portfolio grows, Innago grows with you, and it stays free regardless of how many units you add.

Tenant screening

Reports cover credit, criminal records and evictions for $30 to $35, billed to the applicant by default; the vendor hedges the agency behind them as "usually Experian" rather than naming one firmly.

Income verification

Income verification is sold as an extra on top of the screening report and adds $10 to the fee the applicant pays, rather than costing the landlord anything.
