Compare
We make PacRent, so this is not a neutral roundup and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can do is quote every rival figure from the vendor's own page with the date we read it, and put the rows where they beat us on the same page as the rows where we beat them.

All four, side by side
Tenant portals, screening, e-signing and card payments are table stakes — all four have them. These are the rows that differ.
| What | PacRent | RentRedi | Stessa | TurboTenant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Free tier, then $19/mo | $29.95/mo, or $12/mo annual | Free, then $12/mo annual | Free, then $149/yr |
| Price at 30 units | $190/yr — unchanged | Unchanged, unlimited | Unchanged, unlimited | $399/yr — band 11–30 |
| Bank feeds | No | Yes, via Plaid | Yes, all plans | Yes |
| Mortgage split included | Yes, read off your statement | Add-on, from $25/mo | Connected lenders only | Add-on, $15–$85/mo |
| Schedule E | Yes, plus Form 8825 | Not named on their site | Yes, on Manage | Yes, plus Form 8825, on Pro |
| Listing syndication | Facebook Marketplace + own pages | Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, HotPads | Not mentioned | 25+ sites, no Zillow |
| Underwriting before purchase | LTR and STR, with market data | No | Pro-forma, on Pro | No |
| Owner hours for REP status | Yes, hours and mileage | No | Mileage only | No |
| Whole-account export | Every record, re-importable | Per-page CSV | Reports and transactions | Tenants and payments CSV |

Read this before the individual pages
It is the one disadvantage shared by all three rivals on this page, which is why it is here rather than buried in a footnote on each of them.
Money that moves through PacRent is already captured: rent is recorded as it settles, the Stripe webhook posts the processing fee straight into the chart of accounts, and receipts are read by AI with supplier matching. The costs that repeat — mortgage, insurance, HOA dues, utility autopay — run off schedules you set once, and a mortgage statement is read for its balance, rate and payment, then kept as the evidence behind them.
And the limit of that: What a feed still catches that this does not is an irregular cost paid straight from your bank and never photographed. That is a real gap, not a reframed one.
The detail

Rows to RentRedi
RentRedi is the closest thing to a straight competitor in this set, and on annual billing it is cheaper than we are. The difference is not the rent collection — it is what happens before you buy a property and what happens at tax time.

Rows to Stessa
Stessa is the hardest of the three to argue against on price, because its free tier does things we charge for. It is built around tracking a portfolio you already own; we are built around running one, including filling it.

Rows to TurboTenant
TurboTenant's free tier is the most generous entry in this category, and their unit bands are the clearest example of the trap this whole comparison started from: the same product, five times the price, because you bought more property.
House rules
A page that overstates once is not believed on the rows where it is right, and these pages have rows where we are genuinely ahead. That is the whole reason for the restraint.
No "trusted by N landlords", no dollars-processed figure, no growth statistic. Stessa publishes a savings claim and we have no equivalent, so we are not inventing one.
Baselane publishes two-day deposits. We measured ours at 4.1 days. So we do not put speed on a comparison table.
We have a chart of accounts mapped to Schedule E lines, which is real. We do not have double-entry accounting or a balance sheet, and Buildium and DoorLoop would be right to object if we said otherwise.
Two of the three split a mortgage payment properly. Ours is included rather than an add-on, and reads your statement rather than asking you to type it — that is the true claim, and it is narrower.
The free tier takes two properties and the full LTR and STR analysis, so you can judge this with your own numbers instead of our table. $19/mo after that, at any portfolio size, and your whole account exports the day you want to leave.
