TenantCloud alternatives for landlords
TenantCloud has no free plan and prices by tier. If you are re-evaluating it, here is what it costs today and how three alternatives compare, with every figure sourced and dated.
What TenantCloud costs today
TenantCloud has no free plan; every tier comes with a 14-day free trial (as of July 3, 2026). There are four tiers, billed in US dollars, and several features unlock only as you move up.
| Plan | Billed annually | Month-to-month | Key limits and unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $15/mo billed annually | $18/mo month-to-month | Up to 10 leases, 1 GB storage, 1 bank account. E-signatures and tenant screening included. |
| Growth | $29.17/mo billed annually | $35/mo month-to-month | Up to 30 leases. Move-in and move-out inspections start on this tier. |
| Pro | $50/mo billed annually | $60/mo month-to-month | Up to 60 leases. Lease builder, state-specific legal forms, bank reconciliation, and QuickBooks sync start on this tier. |
| Business | Custom, starting at $100.00/mo | Custom pricing | For larger portfolios. Includes QuickBooks sync. |
TenantCloud's own published figures as of July 3, 2026, billed in US dollars; the sources are listed at the bottom of this page.
On top of the subscription, tenants paying online pay a per-payment fee: $1.95 per bank-transfer (ACH) payment on Starter, $1.75 on Growth, and $1.50 on Pro. Card payments cost 3.5% plus 30 cents on every tier (as of July 3, 2026). TenantCloud's published payout timelines are 5 to 7 business days for standard ACH and 2 to 3 business days for cards; an optional "Faster Payments" feature can reduce ACH payouts to 2 to 3 business days after verification and compliance approval.
To be fair to TenantCloud, it has real strengths. It says it is trusted by more than 100,000 landlords, every plan includes unlimited properties, units, and listings, and maintenance requests are unlimited too. Its accounting is genuinely deep for the category: bank reconciliation, 1099 reporting, support for multiple legal entities, and QuickBooks Online sync on Pro and Business. It has native iOS and Android apps for both landlords and tenants, a ServicePro portal for the vendors who handle your repairs, and e-signatures and tenant screening are included from the Starter tier (screening is a $40 TransUnion Full Check, the landlord chooses who pays, and it is available for US residents only).
Choosing an alternative
If those tiers do not fit your portfolio, the three alternatives below take different approaches. Four things are worth checking on any of them before you move: who pays the tenant-facing payment fees and how much they are, where the rent settles (directly in your bank account, or inside the platform first), what the free tier actually includes, and whether the product works where your rentals are, since two of the three below are US-only by their own terms.
Unitly
Best for Canadian landlords and small portfolios
Unitly is built for Canadian landlords first. Rent collection works in Canada today, with US support coming, and pricing stays flat instead of climbing by tier: your first 5 active units are free with every feature included.
- Free for your first 5 active units, with every feature included. Then a flat $5/mo for 6 to 10 units, and $1 per unit beyond 10.
- Tenants pay nothing for bank-transfer rent payments, on every tier, and there is no platform fee on rent. Rent settles directly in your bank account; Unitly never holds it.
- A native app for tenants and landlords on iOS and Android, plus the full product on the web.
- Maintenance requests with photos, move-in and move-out inspections with sign-off from both parties, scheduling, and income and expense tracking with tax-ready export.
- Honest gaps: tenant screening, lease templates and e-signing, and listing syndication are not yet available. All three are on our roadmap. Today you upload your own signed lease documents and Unitly tracks dates, rent, deposits, and renewals.
Avail
Best free plan for US landlords who want lawyer-reviewed leases
Avail, part of Realtor.com, has one of the most complete free tiers in the industry, and it is the only product on this page that includes lawyer-reviewed, state-specific US lease templates with e-signing at $0.
- Free "Unlimited" plan: $0 with unlimited units, including listing syndication, applications and screening, state-specific leases with e-signing, rent collection, and maintenance tracking (as of July 3, 2026).
- The paid "Unlimited Plus" tier is $9 per unit per month (as of July 3, 2026).
- Tenants pay $2.50 per bank-transfer (ACH) payment on the free plan, waived only when the landlord subscribes to Unlimited Plus. Card payments are 3.5% on all plans (as of July 3, 2026).
- Payouts take 3 to 5 business days standard; next-business-day "FastPay" is on Unlimited Plus only (as of July 3, 2026).
- No stand-alone native mobile app as of July 2026, per Avail's own support site.
- US-only: Avail's Terms of Use state the website is provided "for use only by persons located in the United States" (as of July 3, 2026).
TurboTenant
Best for US landlords filling a vacancy
TurboTenant's free plan is unusually broad, and its listing syndication and applicant-paid screening solve real problems for a US landlord with an empty unit.
- A genuinely broad free plan ("all of TurboTenant for $0, forever" is their own headline): unlimited listings, applications and screening, rent collection, and maintenance (as of July 3, 2026).
- Applicant-paid tenant screening: $55 with a free-plan landlord, $45 with a paid plan. Paid tiers start at $149/yr (as of July 3, 2026).
- Tenants pay $2 per bank-transfer (ACH) payment on the free plan, waived on the Pro tier only. Card payments are 3.49% (as of July 3, 2026).
- Payouts take 5 to 7 business days standard, 2 to 4 business days on a paid plan (as of July 3, 2026).
- US-only: TurboTenant's Terms of Use state the website is provided "for use only by persons located in the United States" (as of July 3, 2026).
Should you stay with TenantCloud?
Maybe. If you rely on TenantCloud's accounting depth (bank reconciliation, QuickBooks Online sync, multiple legal entities), use the ServicePro portal to coordinate vendors, and its per-tier cost works for your portfolio, staying is a reasonable choice; none of the alternatives on this page match that accounting feature set today.
The alternatives make the most sense if you want a free tier (TenantCloud has none), lower or no tenant payment fees, a lease count that does not bump into a tier limit, or a product that works for Canadian rentals today.
Common questions
Does TenantCloud have a free plan?
No. As of July 2026, every TenantCloud tier is paid, with a 14-day free trial: Starter is $15 a month billed annually ($18 month-to-month), Growth is $29.17 a month annually ($35 monthly), Pro is $50 a month annually ($60 monthly), and Business is custom pricing starting at $100.00 a month. Subscriptions are billed in US dollars.
Does TenantCloud work in Canada?
Partially, with more announced. TenantCloud's core money features are US-focused today: its tenant screening is "available for US residents only" and runs on a US Social Security number, its rent collection uses US bank (ACH) rails, and its published syndication list contains no Canadian rental sites. At the same time, TenantCloud announced in mid-2025 that it is preparing an expansion for Canadian users ("We're thrilled to bring more localized tools to our Canadian users"), and its QuickBooks page says Canadian users can sync QuickBooks Online. So Canadian support is limited today and appears to be coming, rather than absent outright. If you need rent collection that works in Canada now, Unitly does.
What is the cheapest TenantCloud alternative?
It depends on portfolio size and where your rentals are. For 5 or fewer units, Unitly is free with every feature included, and bank-transfer rent payments cost tenants nothing. TurboTenant and Avail both offer genuinely broad US free plans, funded in part by tenant payment fees: as of July 3, 2026, TurboTenant charges tenants $2 per bank-transfer payment on its free plan and Avail charges $2.50.
Do tenants pay fees on TenantCloud?
Yes, for online payments. As of July 3, 2026, TenantCloud's pricing page lists a per-payment bank-transfer (ACH) fee paid by the tenant: $1.95 on Starter, $1.75 on Growth, and $1.50 on Pro. Card payments cost 3.5% plus 30 cents on every tier. For tenant screening, the landlord chooses who pays the $40 TransUnion Full Check fee. With Unitly, tenants pay nothing for bank-transfer rent payments on every tier.
Which TenantCloud alternative works in Canada?
Unitly. It is built for Canadian landlords first, and rent collection works in Canada today, with US support coming. TurboTenant's and Avail's Terms of Use both state, as of July 3, 2026, that their websites are provided for use only by persons located in the United States. TenantCloud itself has announced a Canada expansion is in the works, but its screening and rent-collection rails are US-focused today.
