Rentra is our product. We've tried to be fair about where others fit better.
Buildium is built for management companies: it has an owner portal, staff tools, and a long list of add-ons. Rentra is built for landlords who manage their own rentals and costs $5 a unit with a $25 monthly minimum. On monthly billing Rentra costs less than Essential's $65 starting price for 12 units or fewer, and its ACH fee (0.8%, capped at $5) and inspections are part of that price. Buildium includes tenant screening as an add-on. Rentra does not offer screening yet.
Buildium's Essential plan starts at $65 a month, Growth at $202, and Premium at $420. The price rises with your unit count, and annual billing saves 10%. Payment, e-signature, and screening fees are on top of the plan price.
On Essential, incoming bank payments cost $2.35 each, e-signatures $5 per document, each business bank account $99 to set up, and inspections a $99 setup fee plus $40 to $95 a month. Credit cards cost 2.99% on every plan. Growth and Premium lower or include several of these.
Yes. Buildium offers a 14-day free trial with sample data and no credit card required. You can convert to Essential, Growth, or Premium from the trial.
