Official prices and help pages checked August 2026. Shown: Avail Unlimited Plus, TurboTenant Essentials starting price, RentRedi Monthly, and Hemlane Basic at 5 units. Free plans and annual discounts may be available. Prices, fees, and features can change. * Rentlane does not move or process rent and adds no payment-processing fee; banks or payment providers may charge their own fees.

Built for how rent actually gets paid

Many platforms focus on payments made inside their own portal. Off-portal payments by Zelle, Venmo, check, or bank transfer may require separate recordkeeping.

After you confirm a sender-to-tenant pattern, routine future payments from that sender can match automatically so your rent roll stays current. New or unclear activity stays reviewable, and checks or unsupported payments can be added manually. Rentlane does not move or process rent.
