FrontLobby vs SingleKey

FrontLobby provides landlords and property managers with tenant screening, rent reporting, and debt reporting tools. Its screening combines credit data, background information, and verified Tenant Records from Landlord Credit Bureau; the US screening page identifies TransUnion as the credit screening provider. Most screening reports are said to be available within five minutes, though package choice and identity verification or consent steps can affect timing. Landlords submit applicant information and obtain required consent before reviewing results online. Screening can be paid for by the landlord or applicant, and does not require a subscription. The free Basic Membership includes property and lease management, Tenant Records, tools and resources, marketplace access, and pay-as-you-go screening and debt reporting. One-time screening options are listed from $14.99 to $39.99, while debt reporting is listed at $99.99 or $199.99 per once. Premium Membership costs $19.92 per year and includes rent reporting for 20 leases, discounts on screening and debt reporting, and one-on-one setup and support. Larger portfolios can access bulk screening, integrations, API access, dedicated support, volume pricing, and customizable packages.

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.
