Property Peace vs. TurboTenant—without hiding who pays.

Both products offer a free landlord starting point. The meaningful differences are billing cadence, portfolio pricing, renter and applicant costs, property-first organization, and which workflows are actually available today.

Our comparison standard

  • Landlord, applicant, and tenant costs shown separately
  • Annual billing shown as annual billing
  • Unavailable and provider-dependent features labeled plainly
  • Official source links and a visible checked date

The short answer

Two useful free starts, built around different trade-offs

Property Peace

Best fit for independent landlords who want a property-and-unit-centered workspace, a five-unit free plan, and monthly Premium billing without per-unit pricing.

  • Free up to 5 units; no credit card required
  • Premium is $14.99/month for unlimited units
  • Online payments, external syndication, screening, and integrated e-signature are not currently operational

TurboTenant

Best fit for landlords prioritizing a broad vacancy-to-tenant funnel, integrated screening and online rent payments, and annual portfolio pricing.

  • Free plan with unlimited property listings
  • Paid plans add leases and deeper workflows
  • Applicants and tenants may pay screening, payment-method, reporting, or insurance costs

Renter costs

Renter / applicant

Billing cadence

Property Peace

$0 in required in-platform renter fees today.

Readiness / caveat: This reflects current readiness: no integrated screening, e-signature charge, or online payment processing. External services a renter or landlord chooses may charge separately.

TurboTenant

Potential screening, ACH/card, rent-reporting, and insurance costs shown above.

Readiness / caveat: Not every renter pays every cost. Method, landlord plan, and optional product choices determine the total.

Official-source uncertainty: TurboTenant’s live pricing page was checked on August 11, 2026. It publishes annual billing for paid landlord plans and renter costs, but extracted page text does not make the Free-plan screening amount or waived-ACH plan boundary unambiguous. Those entries are labeled for checkout confirmation rather than inferred.

Workflow availability

Available now is different from listed in a plan

Property Peace labels globally gated and provider-dependent capabilities instead of counting source code or plan entitlement as a finished customer workflow.
