TurboTenant vs Innago vs RentRedi: Fees and Plans, Oct 2026
Some links pay us a referral fee; each one says so. Disclosure
Quick Answer
As of October 15, 2026, the three companies' own pages put the landlord's bill at $0 on Innago, $0 to $199 a year on TurboTenant (1 to 10 units) and $144 a year on RentRedi's annual plan, and the bigger difference is who pays the per-payment and screening fees and how long rent takes to arrive. TurboTenant is not free-only: its Free plan is $0, Essentials is $149 a year and Pro is $199 a year for 1 to 10 units, billed annually only. Innago says it “costs nothing for landlords to use” and charges tenants $2 per ACH payment, 2.99% on cards and $30 to $35 to screen. RentRedi has no free plan: $29.95 a month, or $20 a month on a 6-month term, or $12 a month on an annual term, with the same features on each and a tenant ACH fee of $1.00. Rent reaches the landlord in about 1 business day (Innago), 2 to 3 (RentRedi) or 5 to 7 (TurboTenant Free, 2 to 4 with a paid plan). Everything here is each company's own claim, read on its pages on October 15, 2026, and not tested by us.
Key Takeaways
- TurboTenant is not free-only. The Free plan is $0 and TurboTenant's page says “you can really access all of TurboTenant for $0, forever.” The paid plans are Essentials ($149 a year for 1 to 10 units, $349 for 61 or more) and Pro ($199 to $999). Its help center says “There is no month-to-month billing option.”
- Applicants pay for screening everywhere we looked: TurboTenant $55 on Free and $45 on Pro (its help center also gives $45 for Essentials, which its pricing table contradicts), Innago $30 or $35, RentRedi $39.99 or $49.99 with income verification. Avail does not state a dollar amount. Only TurboTenant and Avail say the landlord may pay it; Innago says there is no way to do that inside the app.
- Tenants pay the rent-payment fees by default, and the fees differ: ACH is $2 (TurboTenant Free and Essentials, Innago), $1.00 (RentRedi) or $2.50 (Avail free plan); cards are 2.99% (Innago), 3.1% plus $0.30 (RentRedi), 3.49% (TurboTenant) or 3.5% (Avail). On a $1,500 rent paid by card that is $44.85 to $52.50 (our arithmetic).
- Speed is the widest gap: Innago says one business day in most cases (a help article last modified April 16, 2024, with 3 extra business days of hold on a tenant's first online payment), RentRedi says 2 to 3, TurboTenant says 5 to 7 for standard ACH and 2 to 4 for Essentials or Pro on payments under $10,000.
- On tax pages: TurboTenant puts “Schedule E & Form 8825” on Pro only; RentRedi's help center describes a Schedule E report with PDF or spreadsheet export; Innago's pages we saved describe a cash-basis profit-and-loss report and CSV or PDF expense export and do not mention Schedule E. We found no page from any of them saying it prepares 1099-NEC forms for a landlord's contractors.
- For 5 units paying rent by ACH, with the landlord absorbing every ACH fee for 12 months, the totals are $120 (TurboTenant Free or Innago), $150 (Avail free), $199 (TurboTenant Pro, where ACH fees are “typically waived”), $204 (RentRedi annual), $269 (TurboTenant Essentials) and $540 (Avail Unlimited Plus) (our arithmetic).

TurboTenant, Innago, RentRedi and Avail: plans, per-unit prices, screening, ACH and card fees, payout times, leases and tax reports, from each company's own pages on October 15, 2026
120 sourced rows read from the companies' own pricing pages and help-center articles on October 15, 2026: subscription prices by plan and unit band, who pays screening and payment fees, payout times, listing, lease and e-signature terms, Schedule E and 1099-K statements, each with its URL.
Everything below is what each company says on its own pages. We did not open accounts, process a payment or time a payout, and we use no review-site ratings. When a company's pages disagree with each other we show both. Where a page does not say something, we write “not stated on the page”.
What the landlord pays: plans and per-unit prices
| Item | TurboTenant | Innago | RentRedi | Avail (for reference) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landlord subscription | Free $0; Essentials $149 and Pro $199 a year for 1 to 10 units; $199 and $399 for 11 to 30; $299 and $699 for 31 to 60; $349 and $999 for 61 or more | $0: “No monthly fee. No setup fee. No contract.” | $29.95 a month; $20 a month on a 6-month term; $12 a month on an annual term; no free plan listed | Unlimited $0 per unit; Unlimited Plus $9 per unit per month |
| Billing terms | Paid plans billed as one annual charge; “There is no month-to-month billing option.” | No contract | Every term has the same features; “it’s not a free trial”, with a 30-day money-back guarantee on the page | Not stated on the page |
| Number of units | Prices step up by unit band; the company says most users have 1 to 50 units | No unit limit stated on the pages we saved | “unlimited properties, tenants, and teammates” | “Unlimited Units” on the free plan |
| Page date | Pricing page and help center read October 15, 2026 | Pricing page and help-center articles read October 15, 2026; articles carry modified dates from 2024 to 2026 | Pricing page and help center read October 15, 2026 | Pricing page read October 15, 2026 |
Two details from the TurboTenant help center change how to read its pricing page. The monthly figures on that page, $12.42 for Essentials and $16.48 for Pro, are described as the annual price divided by 12, not a monthly option. The first checks out: $149 divided by 12 is $12.42 (our arithmetic). The second does not: $16.48 times 12 is $197.76, $1.24 less than the $199 annual price the same page and the help article give (our arithmetic). We cannot tell from the pages whether the headline is a typo or a stale figure.
RentRedi's page compares itself with “Platform pricing based on $15/unit/month” and a manager at 9% of rent on a ~$1,500-a-unit average. That $15 is the company's assumption, not any competitor's list price: on the pages we saved, Avail's paid tier is $9 per unit per month and TurboTenant's tiers are flat within a unit band. RentRedi's own arithmetic does hold: $29.95 a month for 12 months is $359.40, and the annual plan at $12 a month ($144) is $215.40 less, which is the “Save $215.40 / year” on its page (our arithmetic).
Who pays what when rent and applications move
| Item | TurboTenant | Innago | RentRedi | Avail (for reference) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant ACH fee | $2 per payment on Free and Essentials; “typically waived” on Pro | $2: “ACH payments incur a $2 fee.” | $1.00 per ACH or bank payment | $2.50 per transfer on the free plan; none on Unlimited Plus |
| Tenant card fee | 3.49% | 2.99% | 3.1% plus $0.30 per transaction | 3.5%, “regardless of subscription” |
| Card fee on a $1,500 rent (our arithmetic) | $52.35 | $44.85 | $46.80 | $52.50 |
| Can the landlord cover the fees? | Free and Essentials: cover the ACH fee (deducted from the deposit) or pass it to the renter; card cover not stated on the page | Yes, either fee: “Both are paid by your tenant by default, but you can choose to take on either.” The deposit arrives minus the fees, recorded as an expense | Yes: ACH, card or both; a covered fee is deducted from the payment, so a $100 bank payment pays out $99 | Not stated on the page |
| Applicant screening fee | $55 on the Free tab; $45 on the “For Pro Landlords” tab; the help center says Essentials pays $45 instead of $55 | $30 (application, criminal, credit) or $35 (plus eviction); application-only is free; TransUnion | $39.99 (credit, criminal, eviction) or $49.99 with Plaid-certified income verification | Amount not stated; tenant (most common) or landlord |
| Can the landlord pay the screening fee? | Yes: “landlords can opt to pay this themselves” | No in the app: “there is no way within Innago for a landlord to pay the fee for an application on behalf of the prospective tenant.” The help article suggests a credit on the first month's invoice | Page says screening is tenant-paid; landlord payment not stated | Yes, per the page |
| Other charges to tenants or landlords | Rent reporting $4.99 a month and renters insurance from $11 a month, both optional | Optional rent advance through Accelerent with a 1% processing fee; Tenant Liability Waiver at $18 a month, paid to Innago | Credit reporting $5.99 a month, landlord- or tenant-paid; Zillow, Trulia and HotPads listings $1.75 per unit per day | Renters insurance quotes; amounts not stated |
On Innago the free software is paid for by the transaction layer, and the company says so: “Innago costs nothing for landlords to use. We do, however, charge your tenants for two things: online payments and applications.” That is a business model, not a hidden fee, but it means the landlord's choice is whether to absorb the tenant's cost or let the tenant carry it.
How fast the rent reaches the landlord
| Item | TurboTenant | Innago | RentRedi | Avail (for reference) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard ACH to landlord | 5 to 7 business days | “just one business day” in most cases (article last modified April 16, 2024) | 2 to 3 business days; pulled the same day if submitted before 2 PM ET | “Next-day payment deposits” in its feature list; conditions not stated |
| Faster option | Essentials or Pro: 2 to 4 business days for eligible payments under $10,000; Instant Payouts on eligible card payments, a separate fee applies | “We do not have a rush delivery option.” Optional rent advance via Accelerent | No faster tier stated on the pages we saved | FastPay listed under Unlimited Plus |
| Card payments | 1 to 3 business days | Not stated in the help article | Not separately stated; the FAQ gives one 2 to 3 business day schedule | Not stated on the page |
| Holds and limits | Payments of $10,000 or more follow the standard 5 to 7 day timeline | First online payment by a tenant is held 3 extra business days; payments over a cumulative $50,000 a week get a 3-business-day hold | First payments “may take a little longer” | Not stated on the page |
| Payment processor named | Stripe | Payload for accounts migrated from PlacePay; the 1099-K article names Dwolla | Not stated on the pages we saved | Not stated on the page |
For a landlord who pays a mortgage from rent, 5 to 7 business days against 1 to 3 is the difference between rent that arrives before the 1st and rent that arrives in the second week. The Innago figure is the oldest in this table: the help article was last modified in April 2024, and a marketing article on its site repeats the one-business-day claim. TurboTenant's help page says its timelines are “estimated timelines, not guaranteed deposit dates”.
Leases, listings, accounting and the tax pages
| Item | TurboTenant | Innago | RentRedi | Avail (for reference) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leases and e-signature | Unlimited e-signatures and lease agreements from Essentials; on Free the Landlord Forms Pack is $199 | Lease Template Builder: you upload a PDF lease; state forms can be downloaded from its site | E-sign by uploading your own PDF lease; state-specific leases $9.99 each | State-specific leases with digital signing on the free plan |
| Listings | “List on 25+ sites and find qualified renters, for free”; unlimited listings | “some of the major listing platforms”; the sites are not named in the article | Free on Realtor.com and RentRedi; Zillow Network $1.75 per unit per day | “the top 19 sites” on the free plan |
| Bank accounts connected | 1 on Free and Essentials; unlimited on Pro | Can open an entity-specific account through Unit, or link an existing one | “Unlimited payment account connections” | Property-specific bank accounts listed |
| Accounting | Pro: Full Accounting Suite with depreciation tracking and “Schedule E / Form 8825”; default expense categories match Schedule E; no invoicing or check writing | Expenses by property, unit and entity with categories and CSV or PDF export; no recurring expenses; profit and loss is cash-basis | Accounting Suite with expenses, mileage and profit and loss, plus a Schedule E report that exports to PDF or spreadsheet | “Income and expense tracking” on the free plan |
| Schedule E | Pro only (matrix: Free no, Essentials no, Pro yes) | Not stated on the pages we saved | “a Schedule E report to summarize your rental property income and expenses using Schedule E categories” (help article dated August 11, 2026) | Not stated on the page |
| 1099-K to the landlord | Stripe issues it when gross payments exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions; offline payments are not included | $20,000 in payments “from at least 200 deposits” for tax year 2025; sent by Dwolla; a gross report | RentRedi “does file Form 1099-K when the IRS threshold is met” | Not stated on the page |
| 1099-NEC for the landlord's contractors | Not stated on the pages we saved | Not stated on the pages we saved | Not stated on the pages we saved | Not stated on the page |
The 1099-K row is about the form the platform sends the landlord for rent it processed, not a form the landlord files. TurboTenant adds that Stripe reports a payment “based on when the payout was initiated”, so a late-December payout can land in one tax year while the cash reaches the bank in the next, and that a missing 1099-K “does not necessarily mean your income is not taxable”. Our page on tax on rental income covers the Schedule E lines and the current 1099-K and 1099-MISC thresholds; this page only records what each software company says it provides.
Where the companies' own pages disagree
- TurboTenant's Pro headline. $16.48 a month on the pricing page against $199 a year in the help article and the pricing page's own table; the help article says the monthly figure is the annual price divided by 12 (our arithmetic: $16.58).
- TurboTenant's Essentials screening fee. The pricing-page matrix marks “Lower Screening Fees” as no for Free and Essentials and yes for Pro; the help article says Essentials applicants “pay $45 instead of $55”. The renter-fee panel on the pricing page has only two tabs, “For Pro Landlords” ($45) and “Free” ($55), so Essentials is not shown there.
- Innago's processors. An April 2026 help article says that for accounts that came over from PlacePay, “Payload remains the payment processor behind the scenes”; an August 21, 2026 article says the 1099-K comes from Dwolla. The pages do not say which applies to a new Innago account.
- Innago's payout article is two years old. Its one-business-day claim is from an article last modified on April 16, 2024; newer help articles on holds are dated 2026.
- Nothing on Innago's own pricing page lists the fees. The pricing page says only “No monthly fee. No setup fee. No contract.” The $2 and 2.99% appear in help-center articles.
A decision rule by number of units (our arithmetic on the companies' prices)
Subscription cost for 12 months, with no tenant fees absorbed:
| Units | TurboTenant Essentials | TurboTenant Pro | RentRedi annual plan | Avail Unlimited Plus | TurboTenant Free, Innago, Avail free |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $149 | $199 | $144 | $108 | $0 |
| 2 | $149 | $199 | $144 | $216 | $0 |
| 5 | $149 | $199 | $144 | $540 | $0 |
| 10 | $149 | $199 | $144 | $1,080 | $0 |
| 20 | $199 | $399 | $144 | $2,160 | $0 |
| 40 | $299 | $699 | $144 | $4,320 | $0 |
| 70 | $349 | $999 | $144 | $7,560 | $0 |
And at 5 units with the landlord absorbing every ACH fee, each unit paying once a month for 12 months (60 payments):
| Option | Subscription | ACH fees absorbed | 12-month total |
|---|---|---|---|
| TurboTenant Free | $0 | $120 | $120 |
| Innago | $0 | $120 | $120 |
| Avail Unlimited (free) | $0 | $150 | $150 |
| TurboTenant Pro | $199 | $0 (“typically waived”) | $199 |
| RentRedi annual | $144 | $60 | $204 |
| TurboTenant Essentials | $149 | $120 | $269 |
| RentRedi monthly | $359.40 | $60 | $419.40 |
| Avail Unlimited Plus | $540 | $0 | $540 |
Reading the two tables together gives these rules, which describe the arithmetic and not what any landlord should buy:
- 1 to 2 units that only need listing, applications and rent collection. Three tools list a $0 plan on their pages, so the software bill is zero. The choice is then payout speed (Innago says 1 business day, TurboTenant Free says 5 to 7) and who carries the $2 to $2.50 ACH fee. If the tenant pays it, the free plans are free to the landlord.
- 3 to 10 units that want a Schedule E-format report inside the tool. In the companies' own words only two of the pages say they have one: TurboTenant Pro at $199 a year and RentRedi at $144 a year on the annual term. RentRedi is $55 cheaper than Pro for the same year (our arithmetic), but it has no free plan and it charges at sign-up with a 30-day refund window, while TurboTenant lets you start free and upgrade.
- If you will absorb the ACH fee. The “free” tools cost $120 to $150 a year at 5 units, and TurboTenant Pro ($199, ACH fees typically waived) lands within $5 of RentRedi's annual plan ($204) (our arithmetic). At that point the decision is features and payout time, not price.
- 11 or more units. TurboTenant's paid tiers step up (Pro $399 for 11 to 30 units, $699 for 31 to 60, $999 for 61 or more) and Avail Unlimited Plus is $1,188 at 11 units (our arithmetic), while RentRedi's page describes one flat plan with unlimited properties. The free tiers stay at $0, but TurboTenant Free has one connected bank account and Innago's pages we saved do not state a unit limit.
- Anyone using a mortgage payment due on the 1st. Payout time matters more than the price gap. The only fast figure for Innago is from an April 2024 article; test one unit before moving the portfolio.
What a reader can do with this
- Run the arithmetic on your own rent. Multiply your units by 12 payments by the ACH fee that applies, add the subscription, and compare with the tables above; use our rental property calculator for the rest of the cash flow.
- Read the help article, not just the pricing page. TurboTenant's real prices are in a help article, and Innago's fees are only in its help center.
- Check what your LLC needs. If rent is deposited to an entity, the 1099-K goes to the entity named in the payments setup; see LLC for rental property.
- Compare with paying a manager. The other way to spend this money is a manager's percentage; our property management fees page lists the fees in SEC filings.
- Bank accounts and property analysis are separate tools. Our reviews of Baselane and Stessa cover the banking side of landlord apps, and our DealCheck review covers analyzing a property before you buy it.
