What the pricing really means
At first glance, TurboTenant looks cheaper at $0/month vs $100/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.

- Customer support scores lower than features and ease-of-use ratings
Who is each product built for?
BuildingLink
Target: 50-10000 units
BuildingLink is a specialized operations platform for condos, HOAs, and managed buildings that need tools like package tracking, visitor management, and amenity reservations — features most property management software ignores entirely. However, it is not a traditional property management platform and lacks accounting, lease management, and screening. The low Capterra rating and no free trial are concerns. Best used alongside a separate accounting and leasing platform.
TurboTenant
Target: 1-100 units
TurboTenant delivers remarkable value with its free plan covering unlimited properties and the full rental lifecycle. The paid plans at under $150/year are among the cheapest in the market. It is best for individual landlords managing their own rentals who want simplicity without monthly subscription costs. Property management companies serving third-party owners will find the lack of an owner portal a significant gap.
