Closest alternatives to PayRent
The ones people open most here come first, then the closest matches. How we rank
- From Free
US landlord software for posting rentals, screening, leases and online rent, free with renter-paid fees.
Why it's on this listUnit caps: PartlyNo plan caps your properties - listings are unlimited on every tier - but the yearly price steps up as you cross 10, 30 and 60 units, so growth moves you into a dearer band.
- From $25 a month
Property management software for landlords and small managers, priced per unit with free rent payments by bank transfer.
Why it's on this listUnit caps: PartlyThe 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.
Trade-offs- Free plan or trial: No ↗
- From $25 a month
All-in-one rental management: listings, screening, leases, rent collection, maintenance and accounting.
Why it's on this listUnit caps: PartlyUnits 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.
