## Shortlist

### 1. TurboTenant

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

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [Unit caps: partial — No 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.](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/)
- [Income verification: partial — Income and employer verification plus fraud detection are ticked only from Essentials upward, so a free-plan landlord cannot check an applicant's income inside the product.](https://www.turbotenant.com/tenant-screening/)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Cost for 25 units a month: partial — $33.25 a month on Pro (11-30 units) for 25 units. Every unit counts, vacant or let, unless the vendor bills only occupied units. Sold on annual billing only: monthly equivalent shown. Pro (1-10 units) ($16.58) includes 10 units; these units need 25, and past the allowance you are moved to the next plan.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)
- [Cost for 5 units a month: partial — $16.58 a month on Pro (1-10 units) for 5 units. Every unit counts, vacant or let, unless the vendor bills only occupied units. Sold on annual billing only: monthly equivalent shown.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)
- [Cost for 50 units a month: partial — $58.25 a month on Pro (31-60 units) for 50 units. Every unit counts, vacant or let, unless the vendor bills only occupied units. Sold on annual billing only: monthly equivalent shown. Pro (1-10 units) ($16.58) includes 10 units; these units need 50, and past the allowance you are moved to the next plan. Pro (11-30 units) ($33.25) includes 30 units; these units need 50, and past the allowance you are moved to the next plan.](https://www.turbotenant.com/pricing/)

### 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 Rent Perfect:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [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 Rent Perfect:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none: the calculator opens on Monthly and shows the regular rate, $25 flat for Starter and $50 a month upward for Pro and property manager plans, with no first-months promotion; the annual option is a separate choice that quoted Pro at $45 a month billed annually.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing)
- [Free plan or trial: no — There is no standing free plan; the vendor says so plainly and offers a two-week trial of any edition instead.](https://www.rentecdirect.com/pricing)

### 3. TenantCloud

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

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Income verification: partial — Income and employment verification runs through Snappt with fraud detection on documents, and the landlord may absorb or pass on the cost, but no price is published.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Rent payment fees: partial — A rent payment by bank transfer costs $1.95 on Starter, $1.75 on Growth and $1.50 on Pro, and the page marks each one as paid by the tenant rather than by you, with the Business column left as Custom; card payments are listed as available on every plan but the page prints no fee for them, so the card half is unpriced here.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none: the figure shown first on each card is the regular month-to-month rate ($25 a month on Starter), with no time-limited offer anywhere on the page; the cheaper $15 a month figure is the annual rate, printed beside the $180 paid once a year and labelled as a 40% saving, and the vendor says annual billing is paid upfront for the full year.](https://www.tenantcloud.com/pricing)
- [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)

### 4. Innago

Free rental management software for small landlords, paid for by tenant payment and screening fees.

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [Setup or onboarding fee: no — The pricing page states there is no setup fee, and the FAQ repeats that there are no setup costs for getting started or importing a portfolio.](https://innago.com/pricing/)
- [Income verification: yes — 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.](https://innago.com/faq/)
- [Free plan or trial: yes — The whole product is free to the landlord with no plan to upgrade to; what is left for tenants is $2 a rent payment from a bank account, 2.99% by card and $30 to $35 for screening.](https://innago.com/faq/)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Promotion and regular price: no — none: the free price is the standing one, not a trial or an introductory rate, and the vendor states there is no monthly subscription, setup fee or contract behind it.](https://innago.com/faq/)

### 5. Hemlane

Rental management software with optional 24/7 repair coordination and leasing help, priced per unit.

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [Minimum units or minimum fee: yes — There is no minimum number of units, but every paid plan carries a $34 monthly platform fee that a one-unit landlord pays in full.](https://www.hemlane.com/pricing/)
- [Income verification: yes — Income is verified inside the same screening report, so it is covered by the $40 the applicant pays rather than by a separate charge.](https://www.hemlane.com/pricing/)
- [Bank sync: yes — Bank and credit accounts connect to pull transactions in, which you can then categorise, merge or split, at no charge per account.](https://www.hemlane.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Work orders to contractors: partial — Work orders go to your own contractors on any software plan, but invoicing and paying them from the job needs the Essential service plan.](https://www.hemlane.com/pricing/)
- [Move-in and move-out inspections: partial — Inspections are sold as a paid service from $300 using outside inspectors, not as a move-in and move-out checklist you fill in and share.](https://www.hemlane.com/pricing/)

### 6. Stessa

Free rental bookkeeping, banking, leasing and rent collection for US residential landlords.

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [Income verification: partial — Income checks exist only as paid extras on a screening order: $10 for a bank-connected income and assets report, or $15 for income plus employment pulled from the payroll provider.](https://www.stessa.com/leasing/)
- [Bank sync: yes — Automated bank data feeds are unlimited on every plan, including the free one, and the vendor says it imports and categorises transactions from banks, lenders, credit cards and property managers.](https://www.stessa.com/banking/)
- [Bank accounts from the vendor: yes — Stessa opens deposit accounts for you through its partner bank, as many as you want, with no minimum balance and no monthly maintenance fee, and rent can be paid straight into them.](https://www.stessa.com/banking/)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Leases signed online: partial — Leases are generated from templates and sent for signature inside Stessa, but signing is free only from the Manage plan up, which allows one signature a month against seven on Pro, and the free plan has none.](https://www.stessa.com/pricing/)
- [Security deposits: partial — Deposits are tracked as transactions in a security deposit category and applied through the tenant ledger, but the vendor states it cannot pay a deposit back: refunds must be made outside Stessa.](https://support.stessa.com/en/articles/11954577-how-to-record-and-apply-a-security-deposit-in-stessa)

### 7. Baselane

Landlord banking, rent collection and bookkeeping for rental property owners in one account.

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [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)
- [Income verification: yes — Income is verified from paystubs and bank transaction data rather than self-report, sold as a $10 add-on on top of the $24.99 basic package, and that whole total is stated as paid by the applicant.](https://www.baselane.com/tenant-management/tenant-screening-service)
- [Bank sync: yes — Outside bank accounts and cards can be linked so their transactions flow into the same ledger as Baselane accounts, and historical transactions can be imported for consolidated tracking.](https://www.baselane.com/landlord-accounting)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Work orders to contractors: partial — You can store contractor payment details and pay them by bank transfer, wire or posted cheque from the banking side, but the vendor describes no work order you can raise, assign or close against a job.](https://www.baselane.com/landlord-banking)
- [Renters insurance: partial — Renters insurance is offered to tenants through the renter side of the product, but the vendor's pages do not say a landlord can require it or see proof of a policy in the dashboard.](https://www.baselane.com/renters)

### 8. Avail

Free all-in-one software for do-it-yourself landlords: listings, screening, leases, rent and repairs.

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**

- [Work orders to contractors: partial — Tickets can be forwarded automatically to a maintenance professional and the landlord's own contractors looped in, but nothing on these pages lets you pay that contractor through the platform.](https://www.avail.com/pricing)
- [A bank account per property: partial — The plan page lists property-specific bank accounts among the payment tools, so rent can be routed per property, but no page gives a price for extra accounts.](https://www.avail.com/pricing)

### 9. DoorLoop

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

**Where it improves on Rent Perfect:**
- [Minimum units or minimum fee: yes — Every plan carries a monthly floor, from $239 a month paying month to month on the entry plan, so a landlord with a handful of units pays that whole amount rather than the per-unit rate.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)
- [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)
- [Income verification: partial — Income can be checked straight from an applicant's bank or payroll provider rather than from uploaded pay slips, but the vendor does not say what that check costs or whether it sits inside the $35 screening price.](https://www.doorloop.com/features/tenant-screening)

**Trade-offs against Rent Perfect:**
- [Move-in and move-out inspections: partial — Move-in and move-out walkthroughs are guided room by room on a phone and turn photos into a standardised, time-stamped report that can become work orders; the vendor does not say the report can be shared with the tenant.](https://www.doorloop.com/features/inspections)
- [Renters insurance: partial — Tenants can get a quote and buy renters insurance inside their portal, and the vendor says this is a US-only service; nothing we read says you can compel cover or log proof of an outside policy.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)
- [Free plan or trial: no — There is no standing free plan: all three published plans carry a per-unit price and a monthly floor, and the only no-cost way in is a trial you start with an email address.](https://www.doorloop.com/pricing)
