Alternatives to Ayillo Tenant Screening

{"intro": "Ayillo Tenant Screening gives landlords and property managers a defined screening process inside a broader leasing workflow. Each property publishes a credit floor, income multiple and criminal-history policy before applications open. Checks can cover credit, eviction and civil-judgment history, permitted criminal history, income and prior landlord references. Ayillo also creates adverse-action notices, applies local screening rules, and gives applicants decision summaries and dispute rights. Applications, screening, leases, e-signatures and renewals share one workflow across Android, iOS and web.\n\nAn alternative may fit better if Ayillo’s $49-per-month starting price, no free plan, card-required 30-day trial, or platform mix does not suit your operation. Consider whether you need screening protections and connected leasing, or instead prioritize free access, a lower entry price, broader property operations, short-term rental tools, payment handling, accounting, or a tenant portal. Check which product supports your property type, operating scale and preferred devices before switching, since the alternatives differ in their stated screening, maintenance, accounting and communications scope.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:revun", "name": "Revun", "best_for": "Property teams needing broad operations and compliance", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $29/mo · 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Revun adds broad property operations, Equifax and TransUnion screening, and Canada-US compliance workflows beyond Ayillo’s leasing workflow.", "choose_when": "Choose it for a free plan, API access, vendor maintenance routing, or jurisdiction-specific Canadian and US compliance workflows."}, {"ref": "sw:august", "name": "August", "best_for": "Small portfolios wanting core management tools", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from £8.99/mo · 30-day trial", "key_difference": "August offers a free plan and lower starting price with rent collection, tenant portal, maintenance and accounting.", "choose_when": "Choose it when five included units and inexpensive core management matter more than Ayillo’s detailed screening controls."}, {"ref": "sw:landlord-studio", "name": "Landlord Studio", "best_for": "Independent landlords managing rentals and finances", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $12/mo · 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Landlord Studio targets independent landlords with listings, autopay, receipt scanning, bank imports and tax-oriented financial tracking.", "choose_when": "Choose it for a low-cost free-plan option focused on rental listings, collections and landlord accounting."}, {"ref": "sw:uplisting", "name": "Uplisting", "best_for": "Short-term and vacation rental operators", "pricing": "No price listed", "key_difference": "Uplisting is built for short-term rentals, adding channel management, unified guest messaging and SMS instead of Ayillo’s tenant screening focus.", "choose_when": "Choose it when Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo calendars and automated guest communication define your operation."}, {"ref": "sw:brikone", "name": "Brikone", "best_for": "Managers prioritizing automated rent payments", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $49/mo · 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Brikone centers automated rent collection and financial tracking, with ACH, card payments, autopay and Stripe-connected payouts.", "choose_when": "Choose it when payment methods, automatic late fees and real-time payment tracking matter more than Ayillo’s screening workflow."}, {"ref": "sw:mi-property-portal", "name": "Mi Property Portal", "best_for": "Canadian teams wanting broad property management", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from 24.99 CAD/mo", "key_difference": "Mi Property Portal offers a free plan with rent collection, tenant portal, maintenance, accounting and lease management.", "choose_when": "Choose it for a lower Canadian-dollar starting price and a broad management feature set across Android, iOS, web and API."}, {"ref": "sw:turbotenant", "name": "TurboTenant", "best_for": "Landlords wanting inexpensive mobile management", "pricing": "Free plan · paid from $12.42/mo (annual)", "key_difference": "TurboTenant offers a free plan, ten included units and mobile apps, while its stated tools cover management rather than Ayillo’s screening protections.", "choose_when": "Choose it when free access, ten included units and low annual pricing outweigh Ayillo’s screening-specific process."}]}
