## Shortlist

### 1. Rentec Direct

Property management software for landlords and small managers, priced per unit with free rent payments by bank transfer.

**Where it improves on LeadSimple:**
- [Unit caps: partial — The cheapest edition stops at ten properties and ten tenants, so an eleventh unit forces the fifty dollar edition; above that, properties and tenants are unlimited.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing)
- [Leases signed online: yes — You build or upload a lease in the forms editor and send it for a legally binding signature; signing is included, with a fair-usage charge only past fifteen percent of your property count.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/operations-features)
- [Income and expenses by property: yes — A full ledger runs per property, tenant, owner and bank account, and every report can go out as a file your accountant reads.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/details/property-tenant-accounting)

**Trade-offs against LeadSimple:**
- [Minimum units or minimum fee: partial — No minimum number of rental units is required, but Pro and the property manager edition carry a $50 monthly floor, so a portfolio under 25 units on Pro or 20 on the property manager edition pays that floor in full; Starter has no floor beyond its flat $25.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing-transparency)

### 2. TenantCloud

All-in-one rental management: listings, screening, leases, rent collection, maintenance and accounting.

**Where it improves on LeadSimple:**
- [Unit caps: partial — Units are uncapped but leases are: 10 on Starter, 30 on Growth, 60 on Pro and custom on Business, so the eleventh lease forces an upgrade.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Leases signed online: yes — Leases can be built in the editor or uploaded as PDF and sent for signature with an audit trail, though the full lease builder sits on Pro and above.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Income and expenses by property: yes — Income and expenses are tracked and categorised per property on all plans, with property and tenant statements, rent roll and exportable reports for an accountant.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against LeadSimple:**
- [Minimum units or minimum fee: no — No minimum unit count or monthly floor is stated for the self-serve plans; properties and units are unlimited from the cheapest plan upward, which starts at a single condo.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Team users: partial — Team members get their own logins with per-property view or manage permissions, but the allowance is one member on Growth and Pro and no per-seat price is published.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [AI features: partial — The AI is an assistant called Cloudia that writes listing descriptions from property details in a chosen tone; the row is blank on Starter and Growth.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)

### 3. DoorLoop

AI agents answer tenants, run repairs and renewals inside the same system holding your leases and books.

**Where it improves on LeadSimple:**
- [Promotion and regular price: yes — yearly shown monthly: the price the page opens on is the yearly-billed rate, $2.50 a unit with a $199 floor, while paying month to month costs $3.00 a unit with a $239 floor.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)
- [Leases signed online: yes — You upload your own lease, save it as a reusable template that fills in from your records, and get it signed electronically with no cap on signatures.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)

- [Contract and cancelling: yes — The licence runs a one-year initial term that auto-renews annually, with a 30-day cancellation window; cancelling requires a phone call or written notice, not an online switch.](https://resources.yardi.com/legal/breeze/tou/)
- [Getting your data out: yes — Client data remains the client's and can be copied and exported at any time through standard functionality and reports, but access and data end immediately at the term's close.](https://resources.yardi.com/legal/breeze/tou/)

**Trade-offs against LeadSimple:**
- [AI features: partial — AI appears as paid add-ons and bundled services: RentCafe Chat IQ answers prospects on pricing and availability for Premier, while SentiLink fraud detection is free inside screening.](https://www.yardibreeze.com/residential-features/)

**Trade-offs against LeadSimple:**
- [Sign up without a sales call: no — You cannot sign yourself up: the vendor directs buyers to a demo where pricing is tailored to the portfolio, and the pricing page's only button asks for a quote.](https://www.rentvine.com/pricing)
