TurboTenant Alternative for Landlords With Existing Leases
Let's start where most comparison pages won't: TurboTenant's free tier is genuinely free, and for advertising a vacancy, screening applicants and collecting an application, it's very good. If that's your whole problem, use it. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something you don't need.
The two products are aimed at different halves of the year. TurboTenant is strongest before a tenant moves in — listings, leads, applications, screening. LetsGoLandlord is built for the twenty-two months after: the leases you already signed, the partial payments, the late fees, the deposit you're still holding, the renewal that's ninety days out.
The clearest difference is your first hour. TurboTenant asks you to enter your properties, units, tenants and lease terms. LetsGoLandlord asks for your lease PDFs and reads them — tenants, rent, dates, deposits, late-fee terms — then shows you what it found for approval.

Feature by feature, honestly
| Feature | LetsGoLandlord | TurboTenant |
|---|---|---|
| AI reads your lease PDFs and builds your rent roll | Yes — upload leases, review what the AI found, done | No — manual data entry or CSV templates |
| Bank-deposit matching (CSV import + live bank feeds) | Yes — deposits match tenants automatically, partial payments included | Varies — typically manual reconciliation |
| Renewal autopilot (draft, generate, send at 90 days) | Yes — with an AI wizard that takes plain-English changes | Reminders at best — check their current docs |
| Maintenance requests without tenant logins | Yes — magic link per unit, photos included, AI triage | Usually requires tenant accounts |
| Online rent collection (tenant ACH) | Yes — ACH + card with tenant autopay, free for landlords; tenants pay processing at cost (ACH 0.8% capped at $4.95). Free P2P lane (Zelle/Venmo) with auto reconciliation too | Yes (typically with per-transaction fees) |
| Monthly owner report written for you | Yes — your numbers, narrated by AI | Report exports — you write the narrative |
| Free read-only accountant login | Yes — free on every plan, lands on a dedicated Taxes page | Varies — often per-seat pricing; check their current docs |
| Filling a vacancy (listing syndication, leads, applications) | Listings and applications, but a narrower syndication network | Strong — this is what the free tier is built around |
| Billing shape | Monthly or annual, cancel any time | Paid tiers are billed annually only — a year up front |
Who should stay with TurboTenant
- •Your bottleneck is filling vacancies, not tracking the ones that are full — that's their home turf and it's free.
- •You have one or two doors, no messy history, and a spreadsheet that genuinely still works. Free beats $15.
Switching is an afternoon, not a project
There's nothing to export if you don't want to. Drop your lease PDFs in — the AI rebuilds properties, units, tenants and terms from the source documents, which is usually faster than exporting and remapping a CSV. If you'd rather bring a rent roll, that imports too.
Frequently asked questions
TurboTenant is free. Why would I pay for LetsGoLandlord?
You wouldn't, for what TurboTenant's free tier does well. You'd pay when the bookkeeping starts costing you time or money — a tenant who pays $900 of $1,150 twice, a late fee you can't defend because it isn't on its own ledger line, a renewal you noticed four days before it auto-extended. That's the work we automate.
Do I have to pay for a whole year?
TurboTenant's paid tiers are billed annually (Essentials $149/yr, Pro $199/yr as of August 2026). LetsGoLandlord is $15/month for 5 units, monthly or annual, cancel whenever. There's also a permanent free tier for a single rental.
Can I use both?
Plenty of landlords do, and it's a sensible combination: advertise and screen where that's strongest, then keep the signed lease, the ledger and the renewal calendar here. Upload the executed lease when it's signed and the rent roll builds itself.
What does TurboTenant have that you don't?
A broader listing syndication network and a free tier that covers more of the leasing workflow than ours does. Check their current pricing and feature list — both move.
