Innago is one of the few property management platforms that is genuinely free for landlords. AnyRentCloud has no monthly fee, but it uses a disclosed usage-based fee model. So how do they differ?
Innago makes money by charging tenants for payment processing. The landlord pays $0 in software fees and $0 in payment processing. The tenant pays the ACH and card fees. This sounds great for the landlord, but some tenants push back when they see a fee added to their rent payment.
AnyRentCloud has no monthly fee and waives its base platform fee for three months, then charges the landlord 0.75% of collected rent. ACH processing costs up to $5 and is landlord-paid. Card payments total 3.15% + $0.30, including a 0.25% AnyRent Card Fee, and you choose whether the tenant pays, you pay, or you split it.

This is the biggest difference. With Innago, your tenant sees a processing fee on every payment. Some tenants don't care. Some will complain. Some will ask why they're paying a fee to pay rent. With AnyRentCloud, you can absorb the 3.15% + $0.30 card total, pass it to the tenant, or split it. For ACH, the landlord pays up to $5 per payment.
AnyRentCloud connects to your bank and imports transactions. It auto-categorizes them and lets you export Schedule E data. Innago doesn't do this. If expense tracking and tax prep are important to you (and if you're a landlord, they should be), AnyRentCloud has a significant advantage here.
AnyRentCloud includes an AI assistant that can answer questions about your portfolio. "What's my total maintenance spend this year?" or "Which tenants are on month-to-month leases?" Innago does not have this.
AnyRentCloud doesn't require tenants to create an account or use a portal. They get a link, they pay. Innago uses a more traditional tenant portal model.
Both are genuinely free for landlords. If you want the tenant to cover all fees and you like having a tenant portal, Innago works. If you want bank imports, tax prep tools, AI, and a simpler tenant experience, AnyRentCloud is the better fit.
Free for landlords. Bank imports included.
