Run your rentals like a pro — without paying one.
Self-managing 1 to 50 units? The right landlord software collects rent, screens tenants, and keeps your books straight for less than one month of a property manager’s fee. We compare the tools on real captured pricing — including the per-unit math most reviews skip.
Browse the guides →The unit-count question
Landlord tools price three ways: free (funded by tenant fees or payments), flat monthly, or per-unit. At 4 units those look interchangeable — at 30 they diverge by hundreds a month. Every comparison we publish shows the real captured numbers so you can run your own math at your own unit count.
What a good stack covers
- Rent collection & tenant screening — online payments, applications, background checks, e-sign leases.
- Landlord accounting — Schedule-E-friendly books, expense tracking by property, year-end reports.
- Maintenance & communication — request tracking, vendor coordination, tenant messaging in one place.
Every price traces to a capture from the vendor’s own site; where a vendor doesn’t publish pricing, we say so. No star ratings — we surface recurring complaint themes honestly instead. Affiliate links are disclosed on every page that has them. Landlord Tech Guide is published by SaaS Talon. We review software, not statutes — nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.
