Comparison
Tenvale vs Avail
Avail (by Realtor.com) is a popular choice for DIY landlords, with a genuinely useful free tier and a per-unit paid plan. If you have just a unit or two, Avail's free tier is hard to beat on price. Tenvale's case strengthens as you add units — flat pricing means your cost doesn't climb per door — and for Massachusetts landlords who want §15B deposit-interest tracking built in.
