## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 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, in order:
> 
> **1. TurboTenant - my default pick for most small landlords (1-20 units).**
> Free tier covers listing syndication, applications, screening, and rent collection; Premium caps out around $199/year flat, not per unit. That flat-fee structure is the key difference from everyone else - your cost doesn't climb as you buy more doors. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 
> **2. Avail - best if you want a polished DIY experience and don't mind per-unit pricing.**
> Free for unlimited units with the core features; Unlimited Plus is $9/unit/month, which adds next-day rent payments, custom lease clauses, and waived FastPay fees. Cheaper than TurboTenant at 1 unit, more expensive past ~2. Owned by Realtor.com, so the listing distribution is solid.
> 
> **3. RentRedi - best mobile-first option.**
> ~$12/month if you pay annually (up to ~$30 month-to-month), unlimited units. Genuinely good tenant-facing app, and it bundles REI Hub accounting, which is the piece most cheap tools fumble.
> 
> **4. Baselane - pick this if your real pain is bookkeeping and banking, not leasing.**
> Free, and
