TurboTenant acquired TenantCloud in August 2026 and migrated landlord accounts automatically. If that suits you, stay. If being moved made you look around, here is an honest comparison.
TurboTenant figures read from turbotenant.com pricing and help-center pages on 16 October 2026. Vendor pricing changes — confirm before deciding.
You did not have to do anything. TurboTenant created accounts for TenantCloud landlords with their information already loaded, and told them not to sign up separately because a manual signup could stop the data transferring. Bank details, tenant payment methods and payment history came across.
Your price did not change. TurboTenant states that subscriptions stay on the same plan at the same price. Listings stay active, and historical records remain reachable in TenantCloud. No shutdown deadline has been published.
How fees reach you did change. TenantCloud invoiced landlords separately for ACH fees. On TurboTenant, those fees are deducted from the rent deposit. Same money, different place on the statement — and a reconciliation difference if your books expect the gross amount.
You are now on a roadmap you did not pick. This is the part no help article covers. TurboTenant has also acquired Azibo and Rentler. Consolidation is normal, and it is not a scandal — but the product you signed up for is now one line in someone else's portfolio, and its priorities are theirs.
Premium is billed as a single annual charge — there is no monthly option. The headline "from $12.42/month" is the annual price divided by twelve, not a monthly plan.
| Units managed | Essentials / yr | Pro / yr |
|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | $149 | $199 |
| 11-30 | $199 | $399 |
| 31-60 | $299 | $699 |
| 61+ | $349 | $999 |
Payment fees sit on top: ACH is $2.00 per payment, normally paid by the tenant and waived only on Pro. Card payments are 3.49% and cannot be waived. Rentwelly is $39/mo with no unit minimum and no annual lock-in.
Every rent payment, fee and expense posts to a real double-entry ledger. Your balance sheet balances because it has to, not because you reconciled it by hand in April.
If you move because an acquisition moved you, it is worth landing somewhere you actually chose. Import once, on your terms, with opening balances intact.
Payment costs and who pays them should be visible before the rent lands, not discovered as a deduction from a deposit.
Schedule E figures, 1099s and owner statements come out of the ledger instead of a spreadsheet you rebuild every spring.
We would rather you picked correctly than picked us. Stay where you are if:
Your bottleneck is filling vacancies. Listings syndication, applications and screening are what TurboTenant is genuinely built around. Rentwelly includes screening, but it is not a marketing engine for your units.
You want to pay nothing. TurboTenant's free tier collects rent and gives tenants a portal. Rentwelly starts at $39/mo. If budget is the binding constraint and your books are simple, free wins.
Your accounting needs are light. If a list of income and expenses is genuinely enough for your accountant, you do not need a general ledger, and paying for one is not clever.
Switch if year end is a rebuild, if your balance sheet does not balance, or if you want the tool you are in to be one you actually chose.
Rentwelly — a real double-entry ledger under ordinary landlord work: rent collection, tenant portal, books an accountant can audit. From $39/mo, no unit minimum, monthly billing.
Avail — free for unlimited units, $9/unit per month for Unlimited Plus. Tenant ACH is $2.50 on the free tier and free on Plus; cards are 3.5%. Income and expense tracking only, no ledger. See our Avail comparison.
Landlord Studio — free for 3 units, then $15/mo or $144/yr for PRO, plus $1.20 per extra unit. Strong mobile app, category-based bookkeeping rather than a general ledger. See our Landlord Studio comparison.
Baselane — banking-first. Free Core tier, $20/mo Smart on an annual plan. Convenient if you are happy banking there, less so if you want to keep your accounts. See our Baselane comparison.
Stessa — a tracker rather than an operations tool. Free Essentials, $12/mo Manage, $28/mo Pro on annual billing. Stessa's own site argues double-entry is overkill for most owners. See our Stessa comparison.

TurboTenant acquired TenantCloud, announced in August 2026. TurboTenant's own help center says accounts were created automatically for TenantCloud landlords with their information already in them, and it specifically tells landlords not to sign up themselves because doing so could stop their data transferring properly. Tenants were moved to the TurboTenant Renter Portal, and existing charges, auto-pay and rent reporting continue.
No. TurboTenant has not published a shutdown date for TenantCloud, and it says your subscription stays on the same plan at the same price. Historical records such as applications, screening reports, maintenance requests and messages remain accessible in TenantCloud. So there is no emergency — but an acquisition is a sensible moment to check whether the tool you ended up with is the one you would have picked.
The clearest change TurboTenant documents is fee handling. TenantCloud invoiced landlords separately for ACH fees; on TurboTenant those fees come out of the rent deposit instead. The ACH fee is $2.00 per payment, typically paid by the tenant, and it is waived only on the Premium Pro tier. Card payments are 3.49% and cannot be waived.
The honest short version: TurboTenant leads with listings, applications and screening, and it is free to start. Rentwelly leads with a real double-entry general ledger sitting underneath rent collection and a tenant portal. If your problem is filling vacancies, TurboTenant is strong. If your problem is that your books do not tie out and year end is a rebuild, that is what Rentwelly is built for.
Yes. Rentwelly imports properties, units, leases, tenants and opening balances by CSV, so you can switch mid-year and keep reporting continuity instead of starting from zero in January.
