Where Rentra fits

Rentra is our product. We've tried to be fair about where others fit better.

Avail and TurboTenant are strongest before move-in: listings, applications, and screening. Rentra does none of those. It starts once the lease is signed, with a text number where AI answers tenants from the lease, repair triage with vendor texting, and bank-connected books, for $5 a unit with a $25 monthly minimum. Some landlords fill the unit with one of these two and run the tenancy in Rentra.
