Avail — Pros & Cons

Pros

Fully functional free plan with no unit limit — best value entry point in the category
Listing syndication to 19 rental sites including Realtor.com, Redfin, and Zumper at no extra cost
TransUnion-powered tenant screening with credit, criminal, eviction, and identity verification
State-specific lawyer-reviewed lease templates with e-signature included on all plans

Cons

No dedicated mobile app — landlords must manage from a browser, unlike RentRedi or AppFolio
No owner portal — unsuitable for third-party property managers reporting to external property owners
Accounting limited to basic income/expense tracking; no accrual ledger, owner statements, or bank reconciliation
No vendor management, work-order workflows, or property inspection tools beyond basic maintenance ticket tracking

RentSpree — Pros & Cons

Pros

Embedded in 300+ MLS systems — agents can send rental applications directly from any listing
TransUnion-powered screening (credit, background, eviction) delivered in minutes with zero landlord setup
Generous free tier covers applications, screening requests, listing syndication, and basic rent collection
Single workflow covers the full rental transaction from application through lease signing and rent collection

Cons

No owner portal — property management companies cannot give investor clients a separate reporting login
Maintenance tracking is superficial; no work orders, vendor management, or repair scheduling
Applicants pay $39.99–$49.99 per screening report, creating friction with renters who balk at the cost
Accounting stops at Schedule E prep — no general ledger, bank reconciliation, or double-entry bookkeeping
