1. Rentra
Rentra is our product. We've tried to be fair about where others fit better.
Best for: Self-managing landlords who want an AI to answer tenant texts and coordinate repairs with their own vendors.
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.
- AI reads up to 100 signed lease PDFs or DOCX files at once and sets up your properties, units, and tenants.
- Move-in and move-out inspections where AI compares your notes and suggests deductions for you to approve.
Limitations
- Costs more than RentRedi's $12-a-month annual plan at any portfolio size, since RentRedi's price does not grow with units.
- No tenant screening (it is on the roadmap), listings, showings, or eviction tools. Single user only. There is no team access.
