A competitor's Hemlane review was published July 24, 2024; its visible byline and structured modification date are July 22, 2026. Its repeated Essential heading, 11-site listing total, older comparison with its publisher's premium plan and broad accounting judgment are not current product evidence. Hemlane now documents bank sync, report downloads and document signing. Its pricing page and older signing Help differ on state-specific lease access; newer document Help also supersedes an older restriction to new leases. Confirm the selected account and contract. Official sources checked October 7, 2026; no paid provider workflow, external posting or human-service engagement was tested.
| Area | | |
|---|---|---|
| Software plan and billing | Free has feature limits. Prime is $120/year for up to 10 units; Scale adds $24/year per additional unit. New paid subscriptions are annual. Payment processing, screening and optional onboarding services are separate. | Starter is free. With yearly billing the paid formula is a $28 platform fee plus $2/unit for Basic, $20/unit for Essential or $58/unit for Complete: $30, $48 and $86 a month for one unit. Monthly billing shows a $34 platform fee plus $2.50, $24 or $65 per unit. A 14-day paid-plan trial is advertised. Quote your actual units, billing term, taxes and legacy-plan eligibility. |
| Payment fee and settlement | Prime and Scale include online rent collection; Free currently lists it as coming soon. Current Pricing lists $6 ACH and 3.49% card charges, with paid-plan payer choices. Confirm activation, authorization and the actual charge before relying on a payout. | Paid plans advertise $0 ACH fees. Card payments cost 3%; Help lets the requester choose the payor or payee. Current payment Help describes generally 2–3 business days for eligible verified paid accounts, with first transfers, failures, larger payments and verification causing longer schedules. An initiated payment is not settled rent; reconcile failures and outside payments. |
| Applications and report scope | Applications and screening are available on Free, with the actual report package, provider, payer and fee confirmed before payment. Review identity and returned records consistently; software does not decide approval. | Pricing and September 2025 Help list a normally $40, applicant-paid TransUnion screening report. Help documents geographic and record restrictions, including unavailable criminal data in some states and differing eviction coverage. Confirm current package, fee and permitted payer for the property; a nationwide label does not mean every record is returned. |
| Lease preparation and completion | Paid plans include state-specific lease preparation and e-signatures. Review property terms, attachments, signer identities and the final completed document with any needed local legal advice. | Basic advertises document storage and e-signing; current Pricing adds state-specific forms at Essential. February 2025 Help mentions Rocket Lawyer creation on Complete, so confirm template access in your plan. October 5, 2026 Help describes uploaded documents for active tenant groups, field assignment and tenant signatures followed by the owner's final signing. Retain the completed file; a sent request is not completion. |
| Books, reports and export | Paid plans include accounting, reports, Schedule E tools and exports. Check property attribution, reviewed classifications, reconciled balances and the exact output your preparer needs. | Current sources describe bank sync and cash-flow, income-statement, lease-ledger, rent-roll and Schedule E outputs. Report Help distinguishes due/paid dates and paid/in-transit transactions. Schedule E is not filed to the IRS and omits depreciation, mortgage details and other items. Verify filters, regenerate after changes and reconcile downloads; transaction export for QuickBooks is a separate mapping/import workflow. |
| Repair software and coordination | Resident requests, messages, maintenance records and AI-assisted drafts organize owner work. Owners approve the work and arrange qualified repairs; Rentari does not supply a contracted human repair coordinator or licensed property manager. | Essential adds human repair coordination with your service professionals and advertised 24/7 emergency support. Complete adds access to its repair network and price thresholds/approvals. Coordination is separate from onsite labor, materials and contractor qualification. Confirm coverage, emergency escalation, spending authorization and invoice payment; 'no markup' does not make repairs free. |
| Tenant communication service | Use in-app messages and written Help, with owner decisions and access permissions clear. Rentari does not provide licensed management or a human rental assistant acting under a property-management contract. | Basic includes tenant messaging. August 2025 Help describes Rental Assistant on the new Complete package, excluding Legacy packages, from 7am–4pm Pacific on weekdays excluding federal holidays. Assistants follow owner instructions and are not property managers or legal advisers. Those hours differ from advertised 24/7 repair support; check message visibility, escalation and current coverage. |
| Advertising and additional placement | Rentari advertises 25+ listing sites; availability varies by destination and property, and no external production posting was verified here. Verify a live result. Rentari provides software and written guides, without licensed tenant placement. | Separate standard advertising from Premium Listings: current Help lists $89/month per listing for additional exposure. Pricing advertises tenant placement from $695 including a lockbox; the service page splits $595 plus $100 and lists a broader $1,295 leasing option. Local-agent Help describes separately agreed brokerage fees/contracts. Confirm which service, location and professional you are buying; site totals and faster-placement claims are not verified outcomes. |
| Optional inspection and delinquency services | Use rental records, written guides and case tracking, with qualified local advice and authorized processes where required. Rentari does not provide inspection, mediation, eviction representation or tenant-placement services. | Pricing lists inspections from $300. Eviction Shield's service page lists $475 one-time or $4.95/unit/month, with an active paid subscription and account/enrollment conditions; monthly protection cannot start with already past-due rent. Attorney/process-server work and court costs require separate scope checks. These services do not guarantee payment or removal. |
| Roles and contractual responsibilities | Confirm plan-specific roles, imports, exported documents and access before cutover. Written Help and optional migration support are software assistance, without licensed rental-management services. | Help describes admin, leasing, management and custom operational/financial permissions; the property creator is the bill-to user. November 2025 terms call Hemlane a software platform, not a property management firm, and place lease review and owner decisions with the user. Independently vet any local professional and confirm their separate agreement, fees, authority and insurance. |
| Phone app and web access | Use Rentari Apps and Help to check the actual landlord and renter phone workflow. Available tasks depend on role, property, plan and app version; some steps open the website. Vendor accounts use the website. Check current payment access before relying on a mobile action. | April 22, 2026 mobile Help describes a tenant-only iOS/Android app, unavailable to rental owners or property managers. Connected tenants can review balances, pay rent, authorize autopay, message, upload documents and track repairs. Rental applications are not available in the app. Evaluate owner/manager web work separately and demonstrate the actual task, rather than assuming native app parity. |

A useful side-by-side review.
Product summaries describe published offerings. Evaluation prompts are things to test, not claims that a provider lacks a feature.
| Your requirement | Explore in | Review with |
|---|---|---|
| Same portfolio and full cost | Price the annual unit count, expected reports, payment volume and optional onboarding; check Free collection availability. | Separate platform/unit charges, transaction/report fees, Premium Listings and each coordinator, inspection, leasing or professional contract. |
| Application through final lease | Review the requested package, payer and report context, then verify property terms, attachments and completed signatures. | Check current record coverage and fee; demonstrate selected-plan forms, an uploaded addendum and all tenant/owner signatures. |
| One payment to reconciled export | Follow pending, returned and settled rent; compare a property-specific report and the exported period with source records. | Check card payer settings, bank verification and actual payout; compare paid/in-transit filters, a ledger and downloaded report. Test any QuickBooks mapping separately. |
| Repair and communication handoff | Record a resident photo, owner approval, vendor response and completion, with required access and qualified repair responsibilities clear. | Test intake, coordinator escalation, quoted onsite work, spending threshold, invoice and completion evidence. Distinguish repair emergency support from Rental Assistant hours. |
| Live listing and service authority | Inspect a currently available published destination and use written guides for owner decisions. | Check actual standard/Premium live channels and charges; verify local service coverage, separate brokerage terms and who can authorize work. |

Rentari plans and fees pricing
Compare the $28 platform fee and per-unit rate shown for yearly billing ($34 plus a higher per-unit rate when billed monthly) with Rentari's annual software plan. Add card/report charges, optional $89/month Premium Listings and any separately scoped placement, inspection, delinquency or local-professional work. A one-unit headline is not a portfolio quote; coordination fees do not include every onsite repair or legal cost. Confirm billing, payer, availability and contract conditions before purchasing.
