Who TurboTenant is for
TurboTenant is a free-to-start DIY landlord tool monetized through applicant-paid screening, lease documents and a premium tier.
TurboTenant is a great first rental tool. It stops being enough the moment you need real ledgers, owner statements, staff permissions, or a maintenance workflow — which is exactly where Ayillo starts.
TurboTenant is a free-to-start DIY landlord tool monetized through applicant-paid screening, lease documents and a premium tier.
Free core plan for landlords; Premium published around $12.42/month billed annually (about $149/year). Screening is applicant-paid (about $45–$55), with paid add-ons for lease agreements and e-sign.
**Choose TurboTenant:** You own one or two rentals, self-manage, and mostly need listings plus rent collection.
**Choose Ayillo:** You've outgrown a single spreadsheet-plus-app setup and want a system that still fits at 5 units and at 500.
Export your tenants and leases and import them into Ayillo in an afternoon — most first-time imports finish same day.
Ayillo also ships reverse migration: a full export of your data in the same shape you gave us, any time. Easy to leave is part of the product.
