Closest comparison
TurboTenant is built for the independent landlord who wants listings, applications, screening, and rent collection in one place. Their free tier is a real product, not a teaser. Paid plans add leases, faster payouts, and accounting insights. If filling a vacancy and collecting rent this month is the whole job, they are further along.
Where we are different
- The loop we sell. List → apply → lease → Schedule E. We do not pretend to match Zillow syndication, and we do not pitch books as the only job.
- Who pays. We charge the landlord. TurboTenant’s free funnel is often funded by tenant screening fees and payment convenience fees. Incentives follow the payer.
- Tax depth. Manor Keeper categories follow IRS Schedule E lines, with a per-property P&L and a tax packet a CPA can open. TurboTenant markets accounting on paid tiers; we lead with that job.
- Price. Pro is $9/month plus $1 per unit past three, with a 14-day trial and no credit card. Their paid plans are billed annually and start higher. Check their pricing page for current numbers.
What they have that we do not (yet)
Credit/background screening, a state lease builder with unlimited e-sign, broad listing syndication, a full tenant portal, and automatic late-fee accrual are further along on TurboTenant. We ship a public vacancy page, applications inbox, lease record, landlord-paid ACH, and Schedule E books. We do not claim feature parity we have not shipped.
When to pick them anyway
Pick TurboTenant if you need tenant-paid screening, e-sign leases, or a tenant portal this month. Pick Manor Keeper if you self-manage and the job is running the rental through tax time — with leasing growing around honest books, not instead of them.
