## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" splits cleanly by portfolio size, so here's who I'd actually name:
> 
> **If you have 1-20 units (most individual landlords):**
> 
> 1. **TurboTenant** - my default recommendation. Listing syndication, online applications, tenant screening, state-specific lease templates, and rent collection on a genuinely free core plan for roughly 1-50 units. You pay only if you want extras like free ACH, income verification, and accounting insights. Hard to beat for zero cost.
> 2. **Avail (by Realtor.com)** - the closest alternative, and better if you want unlimited units free; the $9/unit/month "Unlimited Plus" tier adds waived ACH fees, customizable leases, and next-day rent payouts. Nice middle ground when the free tier chafes.
> 3. **Baselane** - pick this if your pain is *money*, not tenants. It's banking + rent collection + bookkeeping with automatic Schedule E-style categorization, and the core product is free. Great for investors who hate reconciling at tax time.
> 4. **Landlord Studio** - the one I'd name specifically for accounting and tax reporting. Mobile-first, strong receipt capture and expense tracking, clean reports for your CPA. Weaker on leasing workflow tha
