Buildium/AppFolio-class software is overkill unless you're managing dozens of units or doing it for other people. Here's how I'd rank them:\n\n**1. TurboTenant - best default for small landlords (1-50 units)**\nFree core tier covering listing syndication, applications, lead management, and e-signed leases; the paid Premium tier runs about $149/year for the extras. Screening fees get pushed to applicants, so your out-of-pocket can genuinely be $0. Weakest on real accounting. ([turbotenant.com](https://www.turbotenant.com/reviews/turbotenant-vs-doorloop/))\n\n**2. RentRedi - best if you want a polished mobile app and flat pricing**\nAround $12/month billed annually for unlimited units, including rent collection, screening, listings, and maintenance. Flat pricing means it gets cheaper per door as you grow, unlike per-unit competitors. Good tenant-facing app. ([rentredi.com](https://rentredi.com/blog/rentredi-vs-baselane-2026-landlord-software-comparison/))\n\n**3. Innago - best free option with no asterisk**\nGenuinely free for landlords at any portfolio size (they monetiz", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
