TurboTenant Review (2026): Pricing, Fees, and Who It's Really For

The Free plan is $0/month forever and includes unlimited listings, applications and screening, online rent collection, and maintenance requests. Essentials is $12.42/mo billed annually at $149/yr and adds unlimited lease agreements and e-signatures, lower tenant screening fees, and expedited rent payouts. Pro is $16.58/mo billed annually at $199/yr and adds income verification, free ACH payments for tenants, accounting insights, and automated transaction tracking. Paid-plan prices scale by portfolio size: for 11-30 units Essentials is $199/yr and Pro $399/yr, for 31-60 units $299/yr and $699/yr, and for 61+ units $349/yr and $999/yr.

The Free plan is genuinely $0 forever with unlimited listings, applications, screening, rent collection, and maintenance requests. The free tier is monetized through tenant-paid fees ($55 screening fee, $2 per ACH rent payment, 3.49% card fee) plus paid extras for landlords such as the $199 Landlord Forms Pack, lease agreements, and upsold services.

For landlords on the Free plan, renters pay a $55 screening fee, a $2 fee per bank-transfer (ACH) rent payment, and a 3.49% fee for credit/debit card payments. For landlords on Premium plans, the screening fee drops to $45 and ACH payments are free; the 3.49% card fee applies on all plans. Optional renter add-ons include rent reporting at $4.99/mo and renters insurance starting at $11/mo.

Credit, criminal, and eviction screening costs $55, paid by the renter when they apply (or $45 when the landlord is on a Premium plan); landlords can opt to pay the fee themselves.

• Flat pricing regardless of door count on the base tiers, and a free plan with no contracts or trial expiration.
• Broad listing syndication to 25+ rental sites with lead management and pre-screener questionnaires built in.
• Covers the full rental cycle in one product: advertising, applications, screening, state-specific leases with e-sign, rent collection with autopay and late fees, maintenance, and accounting.
• Large established user base (the company states over 1 million landlords), with an ecosystem of extras like eviction assistance, landlord forms, and tenant placement services.
• Paid tiers are inexpensive relative to competitors that charge per unit ($149-$199/yr covers up to 10 units).

• Tenant-side costs are comparatively high on the free plan: a $55 screening fee, $2 per ACH payment, and a 3.49% card fee, which users commonly report generates pushback from renters.
• Lease agreements and e-signatures are not included in the free plan; they require Essentials ($149/yr) or a per-document purchase.
• Users commonly report that customer support is hard to reach on the free plan, with phone support reserved for paid tiers.
• Users commonly report that listing moderation and advertising policy enforcement can feel inconsistent, with listings occasionally restricted without clear explanation.

Self-managing landlords who want a genuinely free end-to-end platform and are comfortable passing screening and payment fees to tenants, especially those who value wide listing syndication and lead volume.

Who should look elsewhere: Landlords in competitive rental markets who want to minimize tenant-side fees without paying for a premium plan, or those who need lease documents and e-signing without any paid upgrade.

TurboTenant's free plan is real, and its listing syndication is genuinely better than ours — Vantric doesn't do listings at all. The trade is who pays: TurboTenant monetizes your tenants ( applications, ACH, 3.49% card fees) and gates lease tools behind paid tiers, while Vantric charges you a flat – and includes everything. If free software matters more than what your tenants pay, TurboTenant is a fair choice. If you'd rather be the customer than have your tenants be the product, that's the difference we built around.
