When to Choose Rent Manager

Mid-to-large property managers with diverse, mixed-use portfolios who need deep customization and enterprise-grade accounting

Rent Manager is one of the most feature-rich and flexible property management systems available, backed by nearly four decades of development. Its power comes at the cost of a dated UI and a steep learning curve. Best for experienced operators managing diverse property types who need depth over simplicity.

Strengths

  • Extremely deep feature set with 450+ built-in reports and full double-entry accounting
  • Handles all property types — residential, commercial, self-storage, manufactured housing, and short-term stays
  • Dedicated customer success teams, Rent Manager University training, and comprehensive knowledge base
  • Longest track record in the industry (37+ years) with continuous modern development

Limitations

  • Interface feels dated with more clicks than necessary for everyday tasks
  • Steep learning curve — requires significant training investment for new teams
  • Add-on fees and per-user charges make total cost less transparent than advertised

When to Choose Innago

Small landlords who want a genuinely free, no-strings-attached platform with solid customer support

Innago is the most truly free option in property management software — there are no paid tiers to upsell you into, just optional per-use fees for screening and payments. The trade-off is fewer advanced features and less polish than subscription tools. Its standout is personal customer support at no cost.

Strengths

  • 100% free for landlords with no paid tiers — every core feature is available at no cost
  • Dedicated personal account representatives and responsive support, even on the free plan
  • Full-featured: lease e-signing, maintenance portal, automated payment reminders, and financial reporting
  • Unlimited file storage and no property count limits

Limitations

  • Limited customization for rental applications and screening questions
  • Fewer integrations and less listing syndication reach than TurboTenant or Avail
  • Some users report payment processing delays and occasional bugs
