Rentara8 months of TenantCloud costs what Rentara costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: Two 2026-09-03 attempts returned HTTP 503 and a third succeeded, which is the read behind the annual figure. That figure is unchanged: $180/yr, the cheapest verified rental-ops tier. What moved is the month-to-month price a buyer can walk away from — $18.00 on 2026-09-03, $25.00 on 2026-09-07 — so the gap between renting and owning widened by $7/mo with the annual headline standing still. Growth shows $29/mo against $350/yr; the exact quotient is $29.17 and the vendor rounds it down.
TenantCloud tiers by feature caps like lease count and storage, and its top Business tier is custom-priced starting at $100/mo once a portfolio needs tailored features.

TenantCloud ships separate mobile apps for landlords, tenants, service pros, and owners.

If you need separate mobile apps for landlords, tenants and service pros, stay with TenantCloud — Rentara is a web app, with team roles and a no-login tenant link.
What Rentara deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting TenantCloud.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in TenantCloud's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Rentara vs renting comparison.
