Most landlord tools are designed for large operators and priced accordingly. Rentlane is built for 1–10 unit portfolios — simpler, cheaper, and closer to how you actually manage your rentals.
Why Landlords Switch
Avail charges $9/unit. Hemlane up to $58/unit. With 5 units, that's $45–$290/mo before you've collected a dollar. Rentlane is a flat $7/mo.
Most platforms charge tenants $0.50–$2.50 per ACH payment. With Rentlane, tenants pay via Zelle — no middleman, no fees for either side.
You manage rentals from your phone. So do your tenants. Rentlane is mobile-first — not a desktop app squeezed onto a small screen.
E-signatures are included free on every Rentlane plan. Tenants sign from a text message — no app downloads, no portal accounts, no add-on fees.

Compared using the lowest paid tier that includes core landlord features (rent collection, leases, maintenance) for a 5-unit portfolio. Prices as of March 2026.
Most platforms require tenants to pay through a proprietary portal — and charge $0.50–$2.50 per transaction for the privilege. If a tenant sends rent via Zelle, Venmo, or a bank transfer, those platforms can't track it.
Rentlane connects to your bank via Plaid and helps match incoming deposits to the right tenant — including Zelle payments where full sender data is available. Tenants don't need to download anything or change how they pay.
No marketing spin — just the facts that matter to independent landlords.
