The useful price of rental software is the subscription plus the fees attached to the work you do. The benchmark below separates the plan from the payment method and includes charges paid by tenants. It is a reproducible example, not a ranking of product quality.
Publisher disclosure: AnyRentCloud owns The Landlord Blog. This comparison uses published product information and stated criteria; it is not an independent hands-on review.
What the benchmark includes
Each unit is occupied for 12 months, pays $1,500 monthly and makes one ACH payment per month. Subscriptions use the annual billing option where stated. AnyRentCloud uses an ongoing year after its introductory offer and the published ACH maximum. The table includes landlord and tenant charges together; it does not assume the landlord pays both.
The model excludes card payments, screening, taxes, optional services, failed or returned payments, refunds, migration and the value of your time. It is not a forecast of actual collections. Prices were checked against each provider’s own pricing and payment-fee documentation. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Annual subscription plus ACH charges
| Plan | 1 unit | 5 units | 10 units | 25 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AnyRentCloud — ongoing year | Up to $195 | Up to $975 | Up to $1,950 | Up to $4,875 |
| TurboTenant Free | $24 | $120 | $240 | $600 |
| TenantCloud Starter — annual | $203.40 | $297 | $414 | Over 10-lease limit |
| TenantCloud Growth — annual | $371 | $455 | $560 | $875 |
| Avail Unlimited | $30 | $150 | $300 | $750 |
| Avail Unlimited Plus | $108 | $540 | $1,080 | $2,700 |
| RentRedi — annual | $156 | $204 | $264 | $444 |

For example, TenantCloud Growth at 25 units is $350 in annual subscription plus 300 ACH payments at $1.75, or $875 combined. TurboTenant Free has no software subscription in this model, but 300 renter payments at $2 still produce $600 in fees. A low combined total does not establish which workflow is best. [2] [3] [7]

Includes landlord and tenant totals at $1,000, $1,500 and $2,500 monthly rent, with plan-limit exclusions.
Who pays changes the decision
In the stated model, AnyRentCloud’s base and ACH charges fall on the landlord. The listed TurboTenant Free, TenantCloud and Avail Unlimited ACH charges fall on the tenant, while the landlord pays any subscription. Avail Unlimited Plus includes ACH processing in its per-unit subscription. RentRedi’s preset uses its standard tenant-paid ACH fee; landlords can choose to absorb it. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Keep two totals beside the combined figure: the cost to your rental business and the cost residents encounter. Moving a charge between them does not eliminate it. Confirm the options and terms that apply to your account before changing the way residents pay.
What changes when the rent changes?
The downloadable benchmark contains 84 plan, unit-count and rent combinations. Three exceed TenantCloud Starter’s lease limit, leaving 81 cost results. Each scenario uses one successful ACH payment per occupied unit per month. These are calculated examples from published prices, not observations of landlords’ actual spending.
At five units, AnyRentCloud’s ongoing-year upper-bound total is $750 at $1,000 rent, $975 at $1,500 and $1,425 at $2,500. Its percentage platform charge changes with rent. The other selected ACH presets use fixed subscription and payment charges, so their totals stay constant when only rent changes. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Why an apparently cheap plan may not fit
Portfolio limits can force a tier change. Payment methods can add a percentage charge. Optional accounting, document or support features may change the subscription. A useful comparison therefore begins with the plan you would actually use, not the lowest number on a pricing page.
The benchmark deliberately does not turn an unverified transaction fee into zero. If a provider does not clearly publish a fee you need, obtain it before adding a full-cost total. Likewise, introductory offers belong in a separate first-year calculation rather than making an ongoing-year price look artificially low.
Keep the calculation with your shortlist
Choose two or three plans that can do the required work. Replace the example rent and payment count with your expected figures, list every necessary add-on and record the source of each price. Then run the same rental scenario through each trial.
When you receive the first invoice, compare it with the model. An unexpected charge may reveal a missed assumption, a different payment method or a plan detail worth correcting. That feedback makes your next comparison better and gives you a clear basis for a renewal decision.
