RentRedi sells one plan with every feature and unlimited units: $29.95 a month month to month, $20 a month on a 6-month plan, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 a year). That flat price is hard to beat once you have 10 or more units. The usual reasons to look elsewhere are a $0 plan, faster payouts, free leases or Schedule E reports you can count on.
Short answer: The strongest RentRedi alternatives are TurboTenant for a free plan with a $199-a-year Pro upgrade at 1–10 units, Innago for a free app with 1–2 day payouts, and Avail for free state-specific leases. Stessa suits landlords who mainly want free bookkeeping. RentRedi stays cheapest for many 10+ unit portfolios on its annual plan.
Best for:
- Best for a $0 plan with a paid upgrade: TurboTenant, because Free costs nothing and Pro adds Schedule E and typically waives tenant ACH fees.
- Best for the fastest payouts on a free app: Innago, at 1–2 business days with no paid tiers.
- Best for free leases with e-signing: Avail, because state-specific leases are on its free plan.
- Best for free bookkeeping with rent collection: Stessa, with Schedule E on Manage at $15 a month month to month ($12 billed yearly).
- Best for landlord banking: Baselane, with free property bank accounts and Schedule E on Core.
- Best for full accounting on 1–10 units: Rentec Direct Starter, at a flat $25 a month.

Yearly cost at 5 and 10 units

How we calculated each row:
- RentRedi: $359.40 ($29.95 × 12) + $1 × 12 × units month to month; $144 + $1 × 12 × units on the annual plan.
- TurboTenant Free and Innago: $2 × 12 × units. TurboTenant Pro: $199, with ACH typically waived.
- Avail free: $2.50 × 12 × units. Plus: $9 × 12 × units.

- Rentec Starter: $300 + $2 × 12 × units. Rentec's page doesn't say who pays the $2 ACH fee.
If tenants pay the ACH fee instead, TurboTenant Free, Innago and Avail free cost you nothing, and RentRedi drops to $144 a year on its annual plan.
The six alternatives
TurboTenant: free plan, flat yearly upgrade
TurboTenant's free plan covers listings, applications, screening, condition reports, maintenance requests and rent collection. Pro costs $199 a year for 1–10 units, billed annually only, and adds an accounting suite with Schedule E and Form 8825 reports and typically waived tenant ACH fees. Above 10 units Pro rises to $399 a year, more than RentRedi's $144 annual plan. See TurboTenant vs RentRedi.
Innago: free with no tiers
Innago is free for landlords and has no paid plans. Tenants pay $2 per ACH payment and 2.99% by card, and you can absorb either. Funds arrive in 1–2 business days, with a 3-day hold on a first payment or a new payment source. Screening is $30–$35, plus $10 for income verification. Its FAQ doesn't mention Schedule E reports, but it lists Ledgre and QuickBooks integrations. See Innago vs TurboTenant.
Avail: free leases and next-day payouts
Avail's free Unlimited plan includes listings to 19 sites, screening, state-specific leases with digital signing and rent collection. Tenants pay $2.50 per bank payment on the free plan. Unlimited Plus ($9 per unit a month) waives that fee and adds next-day FastPay, so it costs more than RentRedi from 2 units up. See RentRedi vs Avail.
Stessa: bookkeeping first
Stessa Essentials is free for unlimited properties, with bank feeds, rent collection, listings and screening. Tenant ACH is $0 when rent goes into Stessa's cash account, offered through Thread Bank, and up to $2 to an outside bank. The Schedule E report starts on Manage, at $15 a month month to month or $12 billed yearly. See Stessa pricing.
Baselane: banking and books
Baselane Core is free and includes property bank accounts, bookkeeping, Schedule E reports and rent collection. Tenant ACH is $2 unless rent lands in a Baselane account, and Core deposits take 5 business days. Its pricing page doesn't list leases, listings or maintenance requests, so it replaces RentRedi's rent and books, not its leasing tools.
Baselane is a financial technology company and is not an FDIC-insured bank.
Banking is provided by Thread Bank, Member FDIC. See RentRedi vs Baselane.
Rentec Direct: deeper accounting
Rentec Starter is $25 a month flat for up to 10 properties, with full accounting and Schedule E reports in every edition. Pro starts at $50 a month ($2 per unit, 10% off billed annually) and includes one free incoming ACH per active property each month. It costs more than RentRedi's annual plan at 5 and 10 units, so pick it for accounting depth, not price. See Rentec Direct pricing.
Who should stay on RentRedi
- You have 10 or more units. The annual plan is $144 a year at any size, which is $1.20 per unit a month at 10 units and less as you grow.
- You want the lowest tenant ACH fee among these apps. RentRedi's $1 is half of TurboTenant's and Innago's $2.
- You want monthly billing. RentRedi's $29.95 month-to-month plan has no long commitment; TurboTenant's paid plans are annual only.
Check one thing first: Schedule E support is disputed. RentRedi's comparison page lists Schedule E reporting, while Avail's comparison says RentRedi needs REI Hub for it, so confirm in a demo if you need it.
