TurboTenant vs RentRedi (2026): Pricing, Fees and Payout Times Compared

Pick TurboTenant if you want to pay nothing and are fine with tenants and applicants paying most of the fees. Pick RentRedi if you'd rather pay one flat $144 a year for unlimited units in exchange for lower tenant fees and faster standard deposits.

Best for: self-managing landlords with 1–50 units choosing between a free-plan model and a flat subscription.

TurboTenant and RentRedi are two of the most-compared tools for self-managing landlords. Both handle listings, applications, screening, leases, rent collection and maintenance requests. The real difference is the business model:

• TurboTenant has a free plan and makes money from tenant and applicant fees, plus paid upgrades billed annually.
• RentRedi has no free plan. It charges one flat subscription for unlimited units.

All prices and fees below come from each company's own pricing and help pages, checked October 28, 2026. We haven't tested either product hands-on. Where a claim comes from one company's marketing about itself, we say so.

Quick verdict

• Pick TurboTenant if you want to start at $0 and are comfortable with applicants and tenants paying most of the fees. It also fits if you only need accounting occasionally. Visit TurboTenant
• Pick RentRedi if you'd rather pay a predictable flat fee and want lower tenant ACH and screening fees. It also fits a portfolio that's growing, because the price doesn't rise with unit count. https://rentredi.com/

Pricing at a glance

What that means at common portfolio sizes (landlord subscription only, before tenant fees):

RentRedi's $144 a year is its $12-a-month annual plan multiplied out.

Fees your tenants and applicants pay

On a $1,500 rent paid by card, TurboTenant's 3.49% is about $52.35. RentRedi's 3.1% + $0.30 comes to about $48.30, because its help center says the fee is grossed up so the landlord receives the full rent. RentRedi offers an ACH-only setting. On TurboTenant, accepting card payments is listed as an Essentials feature.

How fast you get paid

• TurboTenant: standard ACH takes 5–7 business days. Expedited payouts take about 2–4 business days on Essentials and Pro, for payments under $10,000. Card payments take about 1–3 business days. An Instant Payouts option is available for an extra fee.
• RentRedi: its payments FAQ says deposits typically land in 2–3 business days.

If you're on TurboTenant's free plan and your mortgage is due shortly after rent, that 5–7 day ACH window is the single biggest practical difference.

Features compared

Listings and syndication

• TurboTenant:
  • Sends listings to a long partner list, including Apartments.com, Realtor.com, Redfin, Rent.com, Zumper, Dwellsy and Craigslist. It doesn't post to Craigslist in the Boston, New York City and Chicago areas.
  • Doesn't publish self-managed listings directly to Zillow, though leads may come through Zillow Group sites such as HotPads or Trulia.
  • Apartments.com distribution is limited to properties with fewer than 5 units, with up to 8 active listings per account.
• RentRedi: says it syndicates to the Zillow network and others. That's RentRedi's own claim; we didn't independently confirm the partner list.

Screening

Both use TransUnion for the credit portion of the report (per RentRedi's comparison page).

• TurboTenant: income verification (through Snappt) is a Pro feature.
• RentRedi: offers income verification for the $49.99 screening option.

Leases and e-sign

TurboTenant's unlimited state-specific leases and e-signatures require Essentials or Pro. RentRedi's lease and e-sign details weren't confirmed on its own pages for this article, so check them in a demo.

Accounting

• TurboTenant: the full accounting suite requires Pro. That covers P&L, Schedule E/8825-style reporting and unlimited bank accounts. TurboTenant also owns REI Hub, a separate rental accounting product.
• RentRedi: its pricing page says accounting is included on every plan term, and its comparison page lists P&L by property, Schedule E reporting and receipt scanning. It also offers a QuickBooks export. Note that Avail's competing comparison page says RentRedi relies on an REI Hub integration for accounting, so check what's built in during a demo.

Other differences RentRedi highlights (its own claims)

These come from RentRedi's own comparison page, so we label them as its claims:

• Cash rent payments at 90,000+ retail locations
• Rent reporting to all three credit bureaus
• A Spanish-language tenant experience
• Team member accounts on every plan (its pricing page confirms unlimited teammates and connected bank accounts on every term)

Pros and cons

TurboTenant

Pros

• A genuinely usable free plan: listings, applications and screening, condition reports, maintenance requests, rent collection and deposit returns
• A broad listing distribution network
• Paid plans are inexpensive for 1–10 units ($149–$199 a year)

Cons

• Free-plan ACH payouts take 5–7 business days
• The applicant fee ($55 on Free) is higher than RentRedi's screening fee
• Leases and e-sign need Essentials, and accounting needs Pro
• Paid plans are annual only, and Pro gets expensive as you grow ($699 a year at 31–60 units)
• No direct Zillow posting for self-managed listings
• It's absorbing several competitors (TenantCloud, REI Hub, Rentler), so expect product and migration changes for those users

RentRedi

Pros

• One flat price for unlimited units ($144 a year on the annual plan)
• Lower tenant ACH fee ($1) and screening fee ($39.99)
• 2–3 business day deposits without paying for an upgrade
• No per-unit scaling

Cons

• No free plan. You pay even for a single vacant unit
• Month-to-month billing is $29.95, so the low $12 rate requires prepaying a year
• Several of its differentiators (Zillow syndication, three-bureau reporting, cash payments) come from RentRedi's own marketing and should be confirmed in a demo

Who should choose which?

• 1–3 units, budget-first, occasional vacancies: TurboTenant Free is hard to beat on landlord cost. Consider covering the ACH fee for your tenants.
• 5–50 units, rent arriving quickly matters, and you want bookkeeping included: RentRedi's annual plan usually costs less than TurboTenant Pro at this size.
• Coming from TenantCloud: TurboTenant acquired TenantCloud in August 2026 and is moving TenantCloud landlords to TurboTenant. Check which tier your current features map to before migrating.
