Kynth Leases vs TurboTenant

Free landlord software is built for finding tenants. Keeping them is the other job.

TurboTenant is the best-known free landlord platform, and the free part is real: rental marketing to dozens of listing sites, online applications, tenant screening at no cost to you (the applicant pays the screening fee), and state-specific leases — with an all-inclusive Premium plan at $149 a year. It's built around filling vacancies. Kynth Leases is built around the tenants you already have: it watches every lease's clock, drafts the renewal with the right terms before the window opens and gets it signed, then runs rent collection with late follow-ups that escalate on their own — at $19 a month, paid by you, with nothing charged to your tenants. Here's the honest comparison.

Kynth Leases
$19/mo flat — you keep 100%

No success fee, no usage meter, no demo call. 30-day money-back guarantee.

TurboTenant costs you $0 to $149 a year because tenants fund the free tier through screening fees when they apply. Kynth Leases is $19 a month — $228 a year — and you're the customer: no fees layered onto your tenants, and the product's whole job is the renewal you'd otherwise draft at 11pm and the rent chase you'd otherwise run by text. Different jobs, honestly different prices.

The honest recommendation

Pick TurboTenant if…
  • You have vacancies to fill — listing syndication, applications, and tenant-paid screening are TurboTenant's core and Kynth doesn't do them.
  • You're starting out and want a genuinely free toolkit, accepting that applicants pay the screening fee that funds it.
  • You need new state-specific leases generated from scratch, with unlimited leases and addendums on their paid plans.
Pick Kynth Leases if…
  • Your units are full and the real work is renewals — Kynth watches every lease's clock and drafts the renewal with the right terms before the window opens, ready for your review and signature.
  • You want rent collection that doesn't need you: late follow-ups escalate on their own instead of waiting for you to send the awkward text.
  • You'd rather prove it works first — the live demo runs on sample data with no account or card, and the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the rest.

Simple pricing. No surprises.

No per-seat pricing, no usage meters, no demo call — one flat price. No contracts. Cancel anytime. No credit card to start.
