Rentra is our product. We've tried to be fair about where others fit better. Prices were read from each vendor's pricing page on November 9, 2026. Rentra's own pricing is on a separate page.

Head-to-head pricing

Two tools side by side: plans, payment fees, screening costs, and who each one fits.

How to read a pricing page

  • Look for a minimum. AppFolio and DoorLoop list per-unit prices and a minimum spend they quote on request, so the per-unit number alone doesn't tell a small landlord the bill.
  • Check the billing term. RentRedi is $12 a month on annual billing and $29.95 month to month. Stessa and Landlord Studio also list a lower annual price.
  • Ask who pays payment fees. On free plans the tenant usually pays for each bank transfer: $2 on TurboTenant and $2.50 on Avail.
  • Add the per-use fees. Buildium's Essential plan charges for incoming bank payments, e-signatures, and inspections on top of the plan price.
