When to Choose TenantCloud
Solo landlords and small-portfolio owners who want the lowest possible monthly cost with a modern, all-in-one platform
TenantCloud is the budget entry point for property management software, offering a surprisingly complete feature set at $15/month. The trade-off is lease-count caps and lack of team seats on lower tiers, which means growing landlords will hit upgrade thresholds quickly.
Strengths
- Lowest entry price for a full-featured property management platform at $15/month
- Unlimited properties and units on all plans — only lease count varies by tier
- Comprehensive feature set including screening, rent collection, maintenance, and listing syndication
- QuickBooks Online sync and bank reconciliation available on Pro tier
Limitations
- Lease limits per tier (Starter: 10, Growth: 30, Pro: 60) force upgrades as you grow
- No team member seats on the Starter plan — solo landlords only on the cheapest tier
- Tight storage limits on lower tiers (1 GB on Starter) can be restrictive
When to Choose Hemlane
Remote or out-of-state landlords who want software-plus-services without hiring a full-service property manager
Hemlane's hybrid model is genuinely unique — it fills the gap between DIY software and full-service management with optional human support for repairs, showings, and tenant communication. The free tier is a strong entry point, but per-unit costs on higher tiers are steep for larger portfolios.
Strengths
- Unique hybrid management model — combines DIY software with optional local agents and 24/7 repair coordinators
- Free-forever Starter tier with rent collection, applicant tracking, and basic screening
- Complete plan includes a dedicated property management assistant for tenant communications
- 100% of rent reaches owners with no hidden deductions on any plan
Limitations
- Per-unit pricing on paid tiers ($2-$58/unit + base fee) gets expensive for larger portfolios
- Smaller user base than competitors means fewer community resources and integrations
- Accounting features are basic compared to dedicated platforms like Buildium or Rentec Direct
