AnyRentCloud vs Avail: Comparing the Free Tiers

Avail (now part of Realtor.com) is popular with small landlords. They have a free tier and a paid "Unlimited Plus" tier at $7/unit/month. AnyRentCloud has one tier: $0/month with a 1.25% platform fee on collected rent. Let's compare.

Pricing Breakdown

	AnyRentCloud	Avail Free	Avail Unlimited Plus
Monthly fee	$0	$0	$7/unit/mo
Platform fee	1.25% on rent	None	None
ACH fee	Capped at $5	$2.50 (tenant pays)	Free next-day
E-signatures	Included	Not included	Included
Custom lease	Upload any document	Template only	Clone and customize

Example with 5 units at $1,200/month each ($6,000 total):

AnyRentCloud: 1.25% of $6,000 = $75/month
Avail Free: $0 for you, but tenants pay $2.50 per ACH = $12.50/month in tenant fees
Avail Unlimited Plus: $7 x 5 = $35/month, but you get faster ACH and e-signatures

Where AnyRentCloud Wins

Bank imports. AnyRentCloud connects to your bank and pulls in transactions automatically. Avail has no bank import feature at all, even on the paid plan. You're stuck with manual expense entry.
Schedule E. Export your income and expenses formatted for IRS Schedule E. Avail doesn't offer this.
E-signatures for free. Avail locks e-signatures behind the $7/unit plan. AnyRentCloud includes them on every account.
No tenant portal. Tenants get a link and pay. No account creation, no portal login.
AI assistant. Ask questions about your properties in plain English.

Where Avail Wins

Listing syndication. Post a listing and it goes to Zillow, Trulia, Apartments.com, etc.
Tenant screening. Built-in credit and background checks.
State-specific lease templates. Helpful if you don't already have a lease.
Truly free for landlords on the free tier. You pay literally $0 (tenant absorbs the fees).

Which to Pick

If you need help finding tenants and don't care about expense tracking, Avail's free tier works. If you already have tenants and want proper financial tracking, bank imports, and tax prep, AnyRentCloud is the better tool.

Bank imports. Schedule E. E-signatures. All free.
