Every platform claims to be the best. Here is the honest version: what TurboTenant, Buildium, and Ondo each do well, what they charge, and which landlord each one actually fits.
At a glance
- TurboTenant: free for landlords, strong top-of-funnel (listings, screening). Tenants often pay the fees.
- Buildium: deep accounting for larger portfolios; priced and built for professional PM firms.
- Ondo: the only one combining a real-estate-agent layer, loan tools, and property management on one modern stack.
Pricing & fees
Sticker price is only half the story — watch tenant-side ACH and e-signature fees, which quietly shift cost onto renters. Compare total annual cost for your unit count, not the headline plan. Our comparison page breaks this down.
Who each fits
- Solo landlord, 1–4 units: a free/low-cost tool with fair tenant fees.
- PM firm, 50+ doors: full accounting and owner reporting.
- Agent-investor: a platform that spans finding, financing, and managing.
Takeaway
Pick for your actual workflow and total cost, not the brand. If you want the agent + financing + management combination on one login, see how Ondo compares, or how to switch without losing data.
