The verdict
TurboTenant works for basic rent collection if you're on a zero budget. But the moment you need compliance checking, financial automation, or responsive support, you're paying $149/yr for a platform that still doesn't offer AI lease analysis, receipt scanning, or Schedule E reports. Tenby gives you all of that for $9/mo — and your first unit is free.
No billing surprises. No hidden fees. Just property management that works.
Your first unit is free — forever. No credit card required.
