In their own words
Tenant File
Tenant File is paid property management software for landlords, rental property owners, and property managers. It combines online rent collection, maintenance management, and property accounting. Accounting tools include rent posting, separate ledgers, deposit accounting, check writing, bank reconciliation, and reports. Tenant and vendor email, automatic late fees, reminders, a scheduler, and built-in backup are also included. Tenant File Cloud hosts the desktop program on a virtual server and is accessible from anywhere. Plans retain the same features while changing supported rental volume: Tenant File 100 costs $50 a month for 100 rentals, Tenant File 250 costs $100 a month for 101 to 250 rentals, and Tenant File 500 costs $200 a month for 251 to 500 rentals. DirectPAY accepts eCheck, credit card, and recurring payments, posting them automatically. New Cloud users receive a one month free trial and free data upload. Web access is supported, but small handheld screens are not suitable.
Uplisting
Uplisting is property management software for operators of short-term lets, holiday rentals, and vacation rentals. It organizes calendars, bookings, and guest communication, with channel management for Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo; Operator and Manager also include Google Vacation Rentals. A unified inbox and automated messaging are available, and SMS messaging is included in listed plans. Plans include a basic direct booking site, while Manager provides a Plus version. Other listed tools include guest reviews, security deposits, AI messaging, an Airbnb auto responder, cleaning scheduling, guest identity verification, and rental agreement e-signing. The integrations directory includes Stripe, Zapier, pricing services, and smart-lock services such as TTLock, Nuki, Yale, and August. All three listed subscription plans include REST API and MCP access. The pricing page offers a 14-day trial without requiring a card. Independent Host is capped at four properties; Pay As You Go covers portfolios up to ten properties and charges a per-booking commission. Paid plans start at £40/mo, with pricing varying by plan and property count.
