When to Choose TurboTenant
Budget-conscious landlords with small-to-medium portfolios who want the most comprehensive free plan and strong listing syndication
TurboTenant offers one of the strongest free plans in property management software, covering listings, screening, rent collection, and maintenance at no cost. Its unlimited-property model and flat annual pricing are major differentiators. The main trade-offs are limited support and basic accounting.
Strengths
- Generous free tier covers the full vacancy-to-lease cycle with unlimited properties
- Listing syndication to 28+ partner sites including Apartments.com, Redfin, and Realtor.com
- Integrated tenant screening with costs passed to applicants, not landlords
- Flat annual pricing on paid tiers ($149-$199/year) rather than per-unit fees
Limitations
- Customer support on the free plan is email-only with slow response times
- Accounting features are still maturing compared to dedicated financial tools
- Limited third-party integrations beyond listing syndication
When to Choose Baselane
Real estate investors who primarily need banking, bookkeeping, and financial management integrated with rent collection
Baselane occupies a unique niche as a banking-first platform for landlords. If your biggest pain point is financial management, account separation, and tax prep, Baselane is unmatched. But it is not a standalone PM solution — you will likely need to pair it with another tool for screening, listings, and maintenance.
Strengths
- Only PM tool with integrated banking — FDIC-insured accounts, debit cards, and up to 2.63% APY on deposits
- Property-level sub-accounts for clean financial separation of security deposits and operating funds
- AI-powered transaction tagging and receipt matching with automated Schedule E tax reports
- Free Core plan includes unlimited checking/savings accounts, rent collection, and expense tracking
Limitations
- Not a full PM platform — no tenant screening, maintenance tracking, or listing syndication
- No native mobile app as of early 2026 — browser-only access
- Learning curve for the banking and financial features; some difficulty reaching support
