TurboTenant — Pros & Cons

Pros

Genuinely free plan covers unlimited properties with listing syndication, tenant screening, rent collection, and maintenance tracking — no time limit or credit card required.
Listing syndication automatically markets vacancies to Zillow, Realtor.com, and Apartments.com from a single dashboard.
TransUnion-powered screening bundles credit, criminal, and eviction history in one report; cost is passed to the applicant by default, keeping landlord costs near zero.
Full Pro tier costs roughly $17/month annualized — the lowest fully-featured price point in the property management software market.

Cons

Default screening model is tenant-initiated — applicants must start their own report, which can delay your decision by days if they are slow to respond.
Accounting is basic expense tracking only; no accrual accounting, no owner-distribution reports, and minimal QuickBooks integration means landlords with 20+ units need a separate bookkeeping tool.
Phone support is paywalled behind paid tiers; free-plan users are limited to email-only help that can take hours to resolve.
Not built for short-term or vacation rentals — no nightly pricing, channel management, or turnover scheduling.
