For most small landlords, TurboTenant is hard to beat on price. Pro costs $199 a year for 1–10 units, waives tenant ACH fees and includes Schedule E reports. So the best reason to switch is a specific need, not cost:
- Monthly billing or a flat price for any number of units: RentRedi, at $12 a month billed yearly
- Free leases and next-day payouts: Avail
- A free platform with no tiers and 1–2 day funding: Innago
- Someone to coordinate repairs: Hemlane
- Deeper bookkeeping: Rentec Direct
- A full property-management suite with unlimited users: DoorLoop

| TurboTenant Pro | $199 | $199 |
| TurboTenant Free | $120 | $240 |

- DoorLoop One: $199 × 12 + $1.50 × 12 × units.
If tenants pay the ACH fee instead, Innago, Avail free and TurboTenant Free cost you nothing.
The six alternatives
RentRedi: one flat price, unlimited units
RentRedi charges the same price whatever your unit count: $12 a month billed yearly, $20 a month for 6 months, or $29.95 month to month. Every plan includes rent collection, accounting, screening, listings, messaging and maintenance.
- Payments: tenant ACH is $1 (you can cover it), and cards are 3.1% + $0.30. On $1,500 rent, that card fee is about $48.30, because RentRedi grosses it up so you receive the full rent, compared with $52.35 at TurboTenant's 3.49%.
- Screening: $39.99, or $49.99 with income verification, tenant-paid.
- Trial: RentRedi offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, not a free trial.
Pick it if you want monthly billing or have more than 10 units: TurboTenant Pro rises to $399 at 11 units.
Avail: free leases and next-day payouts
Avail's free Unlimited plan includes state-specific leases with digital signing. TurboTenant keeps leases for its paid plans. Unlimited Plus ($9 per unit per month) waives tenant ACH fees and adds next-day FastPay. Tenants pay $2.50 per bank payment on the free plan, and cards cost 3.5% on all plans. Avail is part of Realtor.com. More detail: Avail vs TurboTenant.
Innago: free with no tiers
Innago is free for landlords, with no paid plans to upgrade to. Tenants pay $2 per ACH payment and 2.99% by card; 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.
Hemlane: when you want help, not just software
Hemlane Starter is free and covers listings, screening and rental accounting with bank sync. Basic ($28 + $2 per unit) adds rent collection with $0 ACH. The real difference is Essential ($28 + $20 per unit), which adds repair coordination and 24/7 emergency support, a service TurboTenant doesn't sell. Cards cost 3%, and screening is $40, tenant-paid. See Hemlane pricing.
Rentec Direct: deeper bookkeeping
Rentec Starter is $25 a month flat for up to 10 properties, with full accounting and reporting. Pro starts at $50 a month ($2 per unit, $45 on annual billing). It includes one free incoming ACH per active property each month, 2.95% card fees, bank and QuickBooks sync, and Schedule E reports. Screening on Pro is $10, $13 or $18. There's a two-week trial. See Rentec Direct pricing.
DoorLoop: a full suite for growing teams
DoorLoop One costs $2.50 per unit with a $199 monthly minimum on yearly billing, so it costs far more than TurboTenant at every portfolio size we compared. Pick it only if you need its features: unlimited users, unlimited eSignatures, an API and AI agents. Incoming ACH is $1.50 on One and free on Connect ($299 minimum). See DoorLoop pricing.
Who should stay on TurboTenant
Stay if you:
- have up to 10 units and cover your tenants' ACH fees. Pro is $199 a year. At 9–10 units it's the cheapest option in the table above. Below that, only the free plans with per-payment fees cost less, and RentRedi costs more from 5 units up.
- want Schedule E in the same app as rent. Pro's accounting suite includes Schedule E / Form 8825 and depreciation tracking. TurboTenant says REI Hub powers its accounting.
- came from TenantCloud or Azibo. TurboTenant acquired TenantCloud in August 2026, and Azibo's users moved to TurboTenant after Azibo shut down. Switching again means re-entering tenants and payment accounts.
- are fine with annual billing. There's no monthly option, but one $199 payment covers 1–10 units on Pro.

FAQ
What's the cheapest TurboTenant alternative?
Innago and Avail's free plan cost landlords nothing when tenants pay the ACH fee, and so does TurboTenant Free. If you want to absorb the fees for tenants, TurboTenant Pro ($199 a year for 1–10 units) is cheaper than every alternative here from about 9 units.
Is there a TurboTenant alternative with monthly billing?
Yes. RentRedi is $29.95 month to month, Rentec Direct bills monthly (annual saves about 10%), and Hemlane's prices are monthly. TurboTenant bills its paid plans annually only.
Which alternative pays out rent fastest?
Avail offers next-day FastPay on Unlimited Plus. Innago funds arrive in 1–2 business days, after a 3-day hold on a first payment. RentRedi and Hemlane quote 2–3 business days. TurboTenant takes 2–4 with expedited ACH on paid plans, and 5–7 on Free.
Can I move my data from TurboTenant?
We didn't verify TurboTenant's export options for this guide. Before switching, export your tenant list, lease documents and transaction history, and check with the new vendor about imports.
Which alternative includes Schedule E reports?
Rentec Direct does. RentRedi says it includes P&L and Schedule E on every plan; that's its own claim, which we haven't tested. Hemlane's pricing page says "full rental accounting" but doesn't name Schedule E. Innago's FAQ doesn't mention it.
