Ayillo Tenant Screening vs Rentastic

Ayillo Tenant Screening is a screening workflow within property-management software for landlords and property managers. Before applications open, each property must publish screening criteria that include a credit floor, income multiple and criminal-history policy. Checks can cover credit reports and scores, eviction and civil-judgment history, criminal history where allowed, income verification and prior landlord references. Ayillo says criminal screening follows jurisdictional rules, including ban-the-box requirements. If a report contributes to a denial, the system prepares an adverse-action notice naming the screening company and explaining the applicant's dispute rights. The landlord or property manager who ran the check can see the underlying report; applicants receive a summary decision and, if adverse, the notice. Screening connects with applications, lease generation, e-signatures and renewals. The Core workspace costs $49 a month, billed monthly per workspace, and includes the first 5 units. New professional workspaces receive a 30-day free trial, which requires a payment card to start.

Rentastic is rental accounting and property-management software for small landlords and rental-property investors, with Android, iOS, and web access. Users connect bank and credit-card accounts through Plaid to import transactions, categorize them by property, or split them by amount or percentage across properties and categories. Its dashboard brings together income, expenses, cash flow, property values, debt, and performance per property. Profit-and-loss reporting is available, while the Unlimited plan adds Schedule E and Schedule C reports, AI transaction classification, custom categories, a calendar, and tenant communications. Core includes receipt scanning, mileage tracking, a deal analyzer, and balance-sheet reporting. Core allows two properties and two bank accounts; Unlimited removes those limits. The free tier includes the mobile apps. A seven-day Unlimited trial requires no card and does not auto-charge, and a seven-day money-back guarantee is advertised. Core costs $5 a month billed annually at $60/yr or $7/mo monthly; Unlimited costs $19.83 a month billed annually at $238/yr or $29/mo monthly.
