TurboTenant

TurboTenant is rental-property software for landlords who want listings, screening, rent collection, and property operations in one service. It is strongest for owners who can work within a unit-based annual plan—or start with a free set of core tools. Essentials and Pro require yearly billing, so they are less suitable for landlords who need a paid month-to-month option.

Overview

The platform covers online rent collection, tenant portals, maintenance management, lease management, and property accounting. Separate landlord and renter apps are available for Android and iOS. Listings can be syndicated to more than 25 sites at no charge, a useful way for self-managing landlords to widen their reach without paying a listing-distribution fee.

TurboTenant reports serving more than 1 million landlords, 2 million units, and 12 million renters. It is based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Key features

Rental operations

The free plan supports rental marketing and listings, applicant screening, and online rent collection. That makes it a practical entry point for owners who need those basics, but landlords seeking paid-tier support or accounting capabilities must step up to an annual subscription. The service includes lease and maintenance management, while renters have a separate mobile app.

Accounting, banking, and teams

Pro is the more capable option for owners who need financial oversight: it adds financial reports and a full accounting suite with reconciliation and depreciation tracking. Essentials permits one connected bank account; Pro permits unlimited connections. Pro also offers role-based permissions for teams, which is more appropriate than Essentials for owners who need to give multiple people distinct access.

Support and security

Both paid plans include phone support, and Essentials also includes prioritized chat support. Tenant and landlord data is encrypted at rest and in transit using 256-bit encryption; TurboTenant also cites partnerships with Stripe and TransUnion in support of platform security.

Pricing

TurboTenant uses a freemium model. Free costs nothing and includes listing and marketing rentals, applicant screening, and online rent collection. The platform also reports an included-unit figure of 10, so owners should consider that alongside their portfolio when choosing a plan.

Essentials costs $149 a year for 1–10 units, $199 a year for 11–30 units, $299 a year for 31–60 units, and $349 a year for 61+ units. It is aimed at landlords who want paid support and one bank connection without Pro’s expanded accounting. It applies an approximately $2 renter ACH fee, a meaningful consideration for owners whose tenants pay by bank transfer.

Pro costs $199 a year for 1–10 units, $399 a year for 11–30 units, $699 a year for 31–60 units, and $999 a year for 61+ units. It suits larger portfolios or teams that need unlimited bank connections, role-based permissions, financial reporting, and reconciliation and depreciation tracking. Pro waives the standard renter ACH fee. Both paid subscriptions are annual, with no month-to-month billing option.

Autopilot covers tenant placement, maintenance handling, rent collection, and communication, with custom pricing.

Platforms

Separate mobile apps serve landlords and renters on Android and iOS.

Who it's for

TurboTenant fits landlords who want to manage core rental tasks in one platform, particularly owners comfortable starting with free tools or committing to annual billing for paid features. Owners who need team permissions or deeper accounting should weigh Pro’s higher unit-based rates against Essentials. Those who require flexible monthly billing should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plan includes listing, screening, and rent collection, giving owners a useful core without a paid subscription.
• Pros: Free syndication to more than 25 sites can extend listing reach without a distribution charge.
• Pros: Pro combines team permissions, unlimited bank connections, and advanced accounting tools for landlords with more complex operations.
• Cons: Essentials and Pro are annual-only, making either a substantial commitment for owners who want to pay month to month.
• Cons: Essentials charges renters approximately $2 for ACH payments, while Pro costs more but waives the standard fee.
• Cons: Pro’s rates rise sharply with portfolio size, so its expanded accounting and team tools may be harder to justify for larger but simpler portfolios.

Alternatives

Revun is worth considering for owners with one or two units who want a free plan covering leasing, showings, applications, ACH rent collection, and maintenance-request intake.

Hemlane offers a free-forever Starter plan with rental advertising, applicant and tenant screening, and rental accounting, making it an alternative for owners prioritizing those features without a card requirement.

Landlord Studio may suit a very small operation: its free Go plan is limited to 3 units and 1 user, with 10 documents, standard reports, and standard chat and email support.

Innago is another free property-management option for landlords.

RentRedi offers a free plan for up to 2 properties and a Start plan at $5 a month, billed monthly with cancellation at any time; consider it if that monthly commitment better matches your needs.

Uplisting is an alternative to consider for operators who prefer a per-booking commission model, with rates shown as 3% for 1–4 properties and 1.5% for 5–10 properties.

Avail offers an Unlimited free plan and an Unlimited Plus plan at $9 a month, an alternative for owners comparing a free unlimited-unit tier with a paid monthly option.

Building Stack offers a free Online Payments plan with up to 5 employee accounts and a Core Platform plan at $125 a month, both tied to a 1-year contract.

Verdict

Choose TurboTenant if you want a broad landlord toolkit with a useful free starting tier, wide listing syndication, and a clear upgrade path to advanced accounting and team controls. Look elsewhere if annual-only paid billing is a dealbreaker or if the Pro price is too much for the added financial and team features your portfolio needs.
