Rentberry

Overview

Rentberry brings rental search together with applications, tour scheduling, offer negotiation, lease signing, rent collection and maintenance requests. Renters can search millions of listings across more than 90 countries. Android, iOS and web access make it usable across devices; the mobile apps include offer negotiations, maintenance requests and e-signing. The company was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in San Francisco.

Key features

Search and listing

Landlords can list properties at no charge, add custom amenities and generate a draft description from listing details with an AI tool. Listings expire after 30 days, so landlords must refresh them to keep them active. There is no stated property-count cap, but businesses with more than 100 properties are directed to contact Rentberry, and simultaneous uploads of more than 10 listings require arranging a bulk upload with customer service.

US landlords can pay for promotion and syndication to major rental platforms. Rentberry also supports inquiry management and showing scheduling. The paid option may help owners seeking wider exposure, but it is an extra monthly cost rather than part of the free listing plan.

Tenancy workflow

Rentberry supports tour requests, applications, rent negotiation, e-signing, payments and maintenance tracking. Its online rental documents use Dropbox Sign, and landlords set up Stripe to collect rent; Stripe's payout fee varies by the country of the bank account. Tenant screening reports are powered by TransUnion and are available in the US only, limiting that feature for users elsewhere. Rentberry says customer support is available 24/7 and encrypts personal information transmissions using SSL, while noting that no electronic storage or internet transmission method is completely secure.

Pricing

Rentberry uses a freemium model, with no free trial. Its free plans cover a meaningful share of routine rental tasks, but several services carry one-time or recurring charges.

• Tenants — Free: 0.00 USD per free. Includes rent negotiation, 24/7 support, maintenance requests, property tour requests, eSign and cloud data storage.
• Landlords — Free: 0.00 USD per free. Includes property listing, 24/7 support, maintenance request tracking and tenant screening requests in the US.
• Application fee: 9.99 USD per once for a tenant application.
• Tenant insurance: 11.00 USD per month, billed from $11/mo.
• eSign and cloud data storage: 19.99 USD per once as a landlord service.
• Rent collection: 19.99 USD per once as a landlord service.
• Property agent/broker fee: 24.99 USD per month, billed $24.99/mo.
• Credit and background check: 39.99 USD per once for both reports, US only.
• Property promotion and syndication: 49.99 USD per month, billed $49.99/mo, for a promoted listing and partner website syndication.

The free landlord plan is the practical starting point for owners who need basic listing and maintenance tracking. Those wanting promotion, paid screening reports or landlord e-sign and storage should compare the added charges with their needs; US screening and Stripe payout fees also affect the cost and reach of the workflow.

Platforms

Rentberry is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its mobile apps include offer negotiation, maintenance requests and e-signing.

Who it's for

Rentberry is aimed at tenants, individual landlords, property managers, agents and brokers. Tenants looking to search broadly and manage applications or rental tasks in one place get the widest fit. Landlords with a modest number of listings can use the free plan, while high-volume businesses should contact Rentberry about portfolio handling and bulk uploads. Users outside the US should not rely on Rentberry's tenant screening reports.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Free plans give tenants and landlords useful workflow tools, including tour requests, negotiation and maintenance tracking.
• Pro: Search spans more than 90 countries, while listings can include custom amenities and AI-drafted descriptions.
• Con: Listings expire after 30 days, requiring landlords to refresh them to remain active.
• Con: Businesses over 100 properties and bulk uploads above 10 listings must contact Rentberry, adding a support-dependent step for larger operations.
• Con: Screening reports are US-only, and promotion and syndication cost 49.99 USD per month.
• Con: Rent collection requires Stripe setup, with a payout fee that varies by bank-account country.

Alternatives

For landlords focused mainly on payments, rent payment software is a useful category to compare. For owners prioritizing listing distribution, compare rental property listing software.

• Baselane Rent Collection is worth considering for free banking and bookkeeping essentials alongside automated rent, reminders and late fees; its Core plan is free and it offers a free trial.
• RentMerchant suits landlords who want a free plan capped at three properties or a Pro plan with unlimited properties and units for 15.00 USD per month when billed annually.
• RentPay may suit users who prefer a free account with no monthly fee, but it charges transaction fees that vary by payment method.
• RentRedi is an option for landlords seeking a free plan for up to two properties, with a Start plan at 5.00 USD per month billed monthly.
• Avail offers a free Unlimited plan for unlimited units, with a 9.00 USD per month Unlimited Plus option that includes next-day deposits and waived ACH charges.
• Dawzer RMS offers a permanent free plan for up to three units with 100 MB document storage and every feature included.
• EstateDeck is another freemium web option.
• RentMouse is a web-based freemium option for landlords comparing property and unit tiers.

Verdict

Rentberry is a strong fit for tenants and landlords who want search, listings and several stages of the rental workflow in one service, with useful free plans on both sides. Choose it for that broad coverage; look elsewhere if US-only screening, 30-day listing expiry, support-routed bulk uploads or the cost of promotion and other paid services do not suit your operation.
