Overview

TenantCloud delivers the most feature-complete property management experience at the lowest price point in the category. At $15/month for the Starter plan, you get tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance tracking, listing syndication, and a modern interface that does not feel like a budget product. The platform supports unlimited properties and units on every plan, which is a crucial distinction: you only pay more when you need more active leases.

The constraints are real. Lease limits per tier (10 on Starter, 30 on Growth, 60 on Pro) create upgrade thresholds that growing landlords will hit. No team member seats on Starter means solo-only operation at the lowest tier. And storage limits can be restrictive for landlords who need to store lease documents and inspection photos.

Features Deep-Dive

Comprehensive Feature Set at Budget Pricing

TenantCloud's feature list reads like a mid-market platform: full tenant screening (credit, background, eviction), online rent collection with multiple payment methods, maintenance request tracking with photo uploads, listing syndication to major rental sites, and e-signature support for digital leasing. QuickBooks Online sync is available on the Pro tier for managers who maintain external accounting.

The surprise is how polished these features are at $15/month. The tenant portal is clean and functional. The maintenance workflow includes status tracking and communication threads. The screening pipeline integrates cleanly with the application process. None of these are best-in-class individually, but the breadth at this price is unmatched.

Unlimited Properties, Lease-Limited Tiers

TenantCloud's pricing model is unique: unlimited properties and units on every plan, with tiers differentiated by the number of active leases. Starter allows 10 active leases ($15/month), Growth allows 30 ($35/month), and Pro allows 60 ($60/month). This means a landlord with 8 properties and 8 leases pays just $15/month, while a landlord with 35 active leases needs the Growth plan.

This model favors landlords with fewer, larger properties (like multifamily buildings where one property has many units but leases turn over gradually). It penalizes portfolios with many small properties that each have active leases.

Modern Interface with Mobile Support

TenantCloud's interface is clean and modern, with a responsive design that works well on mobile browsers. The visual style is closer to DoorLoop than to Rentec Direct or Rent Manager. Dashboard widgets provide at-a-glance portfolio metrics, and the navigation structure is intuitive enough that most users need minimal onboarding.

Pricing Analysis

TenantCloud's pricing is the most straightforward in the category. Starter at $15/month (10 leases), Growth at $35/month (30 leases), and Pro at $60/month (60 leases). There are no per-unit surcharges, no onboarding fees, and no annual contract requirements.

At $15/month, TenantCloud undercuts every paid competitor. RentRedi starts at $12/month but with annual billing required. Landlord Studio's paid tier starts at $12/month per property. Buildium starts at $62/month. The value is clear for solo landlords with 10 or fewer active leases.

The economics shift at higher tiers. The Growth plan at $35/month for 30 leases ($1.17/lease) is still competitive. The Pro plan at $60/month for 60 leases ($1/lease) approaches Buildium territory while offering less sophisticated accounting and reporting. The upgrade thresholds feel designed to capture growing portfolios, and landlords approaching tier limits often find themselves paying more per lease than they expected.

Who Is This For?

TenantCloud works best for:

• Solo landlords with small portfolios (under 10 leases) who want the lowest monthly cost with a full-featured, modern platform
• New landlords who need an accessible introduction to property management software without committing to expensive subscriptions
• Landlords who maintain external accounting in QuickBooks and want a property management platform that syncs financial data rather than replacing their accounting system
• Cost-sensitive managers who prioritize monthly cash flow and want to avoid per-unit surcharges or annual contracts

Who Should NOT Use This

TenantCloud might not be the right choice if:

• You are growing rapidly because the lease-count tier limits force upgrades at specific thresholds, and the Pro tier cap at 60 leases means you will outgrow the platform entirely at moderate scale
• You need team collaboration since the Starter plan is solo-only with no team member seats, limiting operations that have office staff or maintenance coordinators
• Document storage is important because the 1 GB limit on Starter is restrictive for landlords who need to store lease agreements, inspection reports, and property photos

Bottom Line

TenantCloud is the best value per dollar in property management software. The $15/month entry price delivers features that competitors charge three to four times more for, in a modern interface that does not compromise on usability. The platform has clear limits at scale, but for the solo landlord or small portfolio owner, nothing else in the market matches this cost-to-feature ratio.

FAQ

Can TenantCloud handle 100+ units?

The Pro plan supports up to 60 active leases. If you have more than 60 concurrent leases, you will outgrow TenantCloud's current tier structure. For portfolios approaching that size, platforms like Buildium or AppFolio offer better scalability. TenantCloud works best for portfolios with 60 or fewer active leases.

Does TenantCloud charge for ACH payments?

TenantCloud does charge processing fees for rent payments. ACH transactions incur a small fee (typically around $2 per transaction), which is standard across most property management platforms. This is in contrast to Rentec Direct, which offers free ACH processing for tenants.

Is TenantCloud's screening reliable?

Yes. TenantCloud partners with TransUnion for credit reports and uses established databases for criminal and eviction checks. The screening quality is comparable to Buildium or Avail. The application-to-screening workflow is integrated and streamlined, though the screening costs are passed to applicants rather than absorbed by the landlord.

How does TenantCloud compare to TurboTenant?

Both target budget-conscious landlords. TurboTenant has a stronger free tier with unlimited properties and better listing syndication. TenantCloud has a more modern interface, better rent collection features, and a more complete paid-tier feature set. If you will never pay for property management software, TurboTenant wins. If you are willing to spend $15/month for a more polished experience, TenantCloud delivers more value.
