What the pricing really means
At first glance, Avail looks cheaper at $0/month vs $12/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Avail wins
- Genuinely free tier with no unit limits covering core landlord needs
- State-specific lease templates and e-signatures included free
- Listings syndicate to Zillow, Realtor.com, and 20+ sites
- Simple clean interface for non-professional landlords
Where RentRedi wins
- Unlimited properties on all plans with no per-unit fees
- Extremely affordable at $12/month annually for full features
- Strong mobile-first design purpose-built as mobile app
- Tenant-paid screening means no out-of-pocket for landlords
Where Avail falls short
- Recent 300%+ price increase on Plus plan has upset users
- No real accounting depth, just basic expense tracking
- No API access or integrations
- No owner portal, not for third-party management
Where RentRedi falls short
- Start plan too stripped down with no applications or screening
- ACH $1/transaction and card 2.9% + $0.30 fees add up
- Slow payment deposits reported by users
- Setup takes more time than expected
