9 comparisons. Every price on these pages was read from the vendor's own pricing page on the date the page states. Where a vendor page could not be read, no figure is given.
Most landlord software is "free" at the entry tier and earns its money somewhere else: a fee on the tenant's bank transfer, a screening report the applicant pays for, a per-unit upgrade, or interest on the money you leave in its bank account. Each comparison follows that money first, then the workflow, then the point at which one product becomes cheaper than the other as your door count grows.
Screening duties stay with you whichever product runs the report; the tenant screening guide and what a screening report contains cover them.
