What the pricing really means
At first glance, Innago looks cheaper at $0/month vs $0/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 Baselane wins
- Truly free platform with no monthly fees or per-unit charges
- FDIC-insured banking accounts earning up to 4.46% APY on idle cash
- Auto-splits rental income by property so you always know where each dollar goes
- Built-in bookkeeping generates tax-ready reports without QuickBooks
Where Innago wins
- Actually free for landlords. No subscription fee, no unit cap, no 30-day trial bait. You pay $0/mo whether you have 5 units or 500
- Highest user ratings in PM software: 4.9/5 on both G2 and Capterra. Small landlords genuinely like using it
- Built-in e-signing saves you $15-25/mo you would otherwise spend on DocuSign or HelloSign for lease documents
- Covers listing, screening, leasing, rent collection, and maintenance tracking. A landlord with 20 units can run their entire operation here
Where Baselane falls short
- Very small review base (under 20 on Capterra, not listed on G2)
- No maintenance request tracking, you still need a separate system for work orders
- No vacancy advertising or listing syndication
- Banking features require opening a Baselane account, which may not suit landlords with established bank relationships
Where Innago falls short
- Tenants pay the transaction fees (roughly $2.50 for ACH, 2.9% for cards). Some tenants complain about this, especially on larger rent amounts
- Fund transfers occasionally take 3-5 business days. If you rely on rent hitting your account by the 5th, the delay can squeeze cash flow
- Mobile app is bare-bones compared to the web version. Maintenance requests and reporting work better on a laptop
- No owner portal. If you manage properties for investors, you cannot give them login access to see statements and reports
Who is each product built for?
Baselane
Target: 1-50 units
Baselane is a smart pick for small landlords who want to earn interest on deposits while tracking rent and expenses for free. The banking-first approach is genuinely different from other PM tools. Just know you are trading maintenance tracking and vacancy features for that free price tag and 4.46% APY. The tiny review count means the platform is still early, so keep that in mind.
Innago
Target: 1-500 units
Buy Innago if you are a landlord who wants free software that actually works for listing, leasing, and rent collection. The $0 price tag is real. Skip if you manage properties for investors who need their own portal, or if you need fast payment processing, because fund transfers can lag.
