Ayillo Tenant Screening vs SingleKey

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.

SingleKey provides rental screening and management services for landlords, property managers, realtors, and tenants. Its Tenant Screening Report combines an Equifax credit check with rental, income, employment, and background information; checks include credit, criminal, eviction, income, and identity screening. Rent Guarantee covers up to 12 months of rent, capped at $60,000, in cases of delinquency. It also includes up to $10,000 for unpaid court-ordered malicious tenant damages and up to $2,000 in reimbursed legal fees, subject to eligibility and terms. Tenants can use co-signer services and a shareable rental application; SingleKey says sharing its credit report does not affect the tenant’s credit score. Pre-screening costs nothing. Tenant Screening Reports start at $29.99 per once, billed per report, with no subscription or signup fees. Rent Guarantee starts at $5 a year, billed at 5% of monthly rent per tenant with annual payment. Enterprise API integrations include Yardi, Buildium, Rent Manager, LeadSimple, Entrata, AppFolio, Property Vista, and Propertyware; enterprise pricing is volume-based.
