Where Avail falls short
- Per-unit pricing gets expensive fast — $9/unit/month = $1,080/yr for just 10 units
- Owned by Realtor.com — not built specifically for independent landlords
- Free tier is heavily limited — many features gated behind the paid plan
- No AI features, no financial automation, no compliance checking

The verdict
Avail's per-unit pricing is a trap for growing landlords. At $9/unit/month, 10 units costs $1,080/year — twelve times what Tenby charges for the same coverage plus AI lease compliance, receipt scanning, and Schedule E automation. If you have more than 1-2 units, Tenby saves you hundreds per year.
