Closest alternatives to Rental Hero

  1. 1

    TurboTenant

    From Free

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

    Why it's on this list

    Unit 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.

  2. 2

    Rentec Direct

    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 list

    Minimum units or minimum fee: PartlyNo 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.

  3. 3

    TenantCloud

    From $25 a month

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

    Why it's on this list

    Unit 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.
