## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd bring them up. The honest answer is that "best" splits almost entirely on how many units you have and whether you self-manage.
> 
> **If you have 1-10 units and want to spend nothing:**
> 
> 1. **TurboTenant** - My default first suggestion for small DIY landlords. Free for the landlord (they make money on tenant-paid application/screening fees), and it covers the whole cycle: listing syndication to Zillow/Realtor/etc., online applications, TransUnion screening, state-specific lease templates, and ACH rent collection. The catch is that the free tier pushes some costs onto tenants and the accounting is thin.
> 2. **Innago** - The other genuinely free option, and the better pick if you have odd unit types (student housing by the room, commercial, storage). Free to landlords with no unit cap, unlimited users, and better lease/invoicing flexibility than TurboTenant. Interface is less polished.
> 3. **Avail** - Free tier plus a cheap unlimited plan; strongest of the three on rent-payment options and maintenance tracking, and it's owned by Realtor.com so listing distribution is solid.
> 
> **If you want real bookkeeping, not just rent collectio

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
