1. Rentra
Rentra is our product. We've tried to be fair about where others fit better.
Best for: Landlords with a small portfolio who want AI on tenant texts and repairs without DoorLoop's minimum spend.
Pricing: $5 per unit per month with a $25 monthly minimum, or 20% off billed annually. Every feature is included, there is no contract, and the 14-day trial needs no card to start (as of October 2026).
Strengths
- Your own SMS number for your rentals. On Autopilot Advanced, AI answers tenant texts from the lease and rent ledger.
- Tenants text in repairs, photos included. AI triages them and texts your vendors, and nothing is booked until you approve it.
- Starts at a $25 monthly minimum. Against the $199 minimum DoorLoop listed for One in October 2026, Rentra cost less up to 39 units.
- AI reads up to 100 signed lease PDFs or DOCX files at once and sets up your properties, units, and tenants.
Limitations
- DoorLoop's Receptionist Agent also answers calls and portal messages. Rentra's AI line works by text.
- No owner portal, listings, showings, or tenant screening (screening is on the roadmap).
- Single user only. There is no team access. DoorLoop includes unlimited users.
