What the pricing really means
At first glance, Innago looks cheaper at $0/month vs $30/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 Hemlane wins
- Unique hybrid model pairs software with local leasing agents for hands-off management
- Strong tenant screening powered by TransUnion reports
- Free tier available for landlords who only need basic features
- Repair coordination service handles maintenance calls and vendor dispatch
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 Hemlane falls short
- No native mobile app for landlords — only a mobile-optimized web interface and a tenant-only app
- Per-unit pricing adds up quickly for larger portfolios
- Limited financial reporting compared to full accounting platforms
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?
Hemlane
Target: 1-100 units
Hemlane stands out with its hybrid model that pairs cloud software with a network of local agents, making it ideal for remote landlords who want someone on the ground coordinating repairs and showings. E-signing is built in for leases, and owner portals give investors visibility. No native landlord mobile app though, so hands-on landlords may prefer a more full-featured platform.
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.
