Closest alternatives to Zillow Rental Manager
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 listMinimum 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.
- 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.
