## Shortlist

### 1. TurboTenant

US landlord software for posting rentals, screening, leases and online rent, free with renter-paid fees.

**Where it improves on Letus:**
- [What the price is based on: yes — Paid plans are priced in yearly unit tiers, not per unit: Essentials runs $149 a year for 1-10 units up to $349 for 61+, and Pro $199 up to $999, so the fee steps up as the portfolio crosses each band.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)
- [Rent payment fees: yes — Renters pay the payment fees: on the Free plan a bank transfer costs the renter $2 and a card 3.49%, while the renter pricing tab for Pro landlords shows bank transfers free and cards still 3.49%.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — No setup, onboarding or import charge appears in any plan column, and the free plan is advertised with no fees or contracts at all.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Letus:**
- [Support: partial — Chat and email reach the Colorado team on every plan, but phone support and faster responses are ticked only from Essentials upward, and the hours given are weekdays.](https://www.turbotenant.com/premium/)
- [Canada: no — Canada is not mentioned on any page I read.](https://www.turbotenant.com/tenant-screening/)

### 2. Rentec Direct

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

**Where it improves on Letus:**
- [What the price is based on: yes — Two shapes side by side: Starter is a flat $25 a month for ten or fewer properties, while Pro and the property manager edition charge per rental unit, $2 and $2.50 each, on top of a $50 monthly floor that both editions pay in full below that count.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing-transparency)
- [Rent payment fees: yes — Pro and the property manager edition include one free incoming bank transfer per active property each month, with extra payments at $0.50; Starter pays $2.00 a payment. Cards run 3.50% on Starter and 2.95% on Pro and the property manager edition, and the vendor lets you choose whether you or the tenant pays the card fee.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — The vendor states there is no setup, implementation or training charge, and one-to-one onboarding is included on every edition at no cost.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Letus:**
- None found.

### 3. TenantCloud

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

**Where it improves on Letus:**
- [What the price is based on: yes — Pricing is a flat monthly fee per account rather than per unit: properties and units are unlimited on all four plans, and the plan tier is set by lease count and features.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: partial — No setup or implementation fee is charged for signing up, but the vendor states one-to-one onboarding and training sessions cost extra; self-serve data import is free.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Online applications: yes — Applicants apply online from the listing or an invitation, with custom questions available on Pro; the vendor shows the application and screening fee as paid by the applicant.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Letus:**
- [Rent collected online: partial — Tenants pay by bank transfer, card or digital wallet through an encrypted portal on every plan, but the vendor does not state how long funds take to reach your bank.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Support: partial — Email and in-app chat support plus a help centre come with every plan and phone support starts at Growth, with priority support on Business; no hours are published.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)

### 4. Yardi Breeze

Cloud property management software from Yardi for small and mid-sized residential and commercial portfolios.

**Where it improves on Letus:**

- [Rent payment fees: yes — Bank transfer rent payments are $0.00 when Yardi is the primary processor and cards are enabled, otherwise $0.95; credit cards cost 2.95% and card service fees default to the tenant.](https://resources.yardi.com/legal/breeze/tou/)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — The vendor states there are no setup, onboarding, training or data-conversion charges, and nothing is paid up front to begin using Breeze.](https://www.yardibreeze.com/faq/)

### 5. DoorLoop

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

**Where it improves on Letus:**
- [What the price is based on: yes — DoorLoop charges per rental unit each month and every plan also carries a monthly floor a small portfolio pays in full, so the unit price only bites once you pass that floor.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)
- [Rent payment fees: yes — Each rent payment by bank transfer costs $1.50 on the entry plan and nothing on the two dearer plans; the vendor does not publish a card rate, and a convenience fee can be added for the tenant instead.](https://www.doorloop.com/faq)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — The vendor says data migration, training, support and updates come at no charge, and no one-time setup or implementation fee appears beside any plan.](https://www.doorloop.com/faq)

**Trade-offs against Letus:**
- None found.

- [Rent payment fees: yes — A rent payment by bank transfer costs $2 and the landlord may absorb it or pass it to the tenant; cards cost the tenant 3.49%, and the fee table shows the transfer fee waived when rent lands in a Baselane account.](https://www.baselane.com/pricing)
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — The fee table puts account opening, monthly maintenance, minimum balance and inactivity all at $0, and the screening page says screening involves no setup fees either, so nothing one-time is charged to start.](https://www.baselane.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Letus:**
- None found.

### 9. Apartments.com Rental Manager
