STOA verdict

TenantCloud is a great fit if you're an independent landlord or small property manager handling up to a few dozen units and want to keep costs low. The free plan covers the basics surprisingly well, and paid plans starting around $17/month give you solid rent collection and tenant screening tools. The downside is that the interface can feel clunky, and it lacks the polish and deeper accounting features you'd get from pricier competitors like AppFolio.
