rents.ai vs Azibo
No monthly fee, or no transactions at all.
Azibo's pitch is that the landlord pays nothing every month, and the pricing page backs it up: rent collection, banking, transaction import, accounting and a Schedule E tax form carry no subscription, while leases are $29.99 and screening is $39.99 charged to the applicant. rents.ai charges a flat subscription and does none of those things. What it adds is the part Azibo's pricing page does not describe: residential depreciation computed on the 27.5-year mid-month schedule, per property.
Short answer
Azibo has no monthly fee for property owners: rent collection, banking, transaction import, accounting and a Schedule E tax form are all free, with one-off charges for leases ($29.99) and applicant-paid screening ($39.99). rents.ai is $10/mo for one property or $18/mo for unlimited and collects no rent and holds no money. The reason to pay is the depreciation schedule and the per-property Schedule E rollup, not breadth.

The $10 question
What the subscription actually buys.
A year-round record for each property: rent roll, ledger, work orders, documents, deposits, notes, and renewal dates. No bank login is required, no rent moves through the product, and nothing changes for your tenants. Keep collecting rent exactly how you do today. If that is not the gap you have, Azibois very likely the better answer.

Beyond the axes
What this table does not cover.
The rows above compare a narrow set of pricing-page features. rents.ai also keeps these records behind each rental.
- A per-property ledger, categorized to Schedule E lines all year rather than in April
- Rent roll with late fees computed from each lease's due day, grace period, and fee rule
- Residential depreciation from cost basis, land, and in-service date on the 27.5-year mid-month schedule
- Documents attached to the property, tenant, transaction, or property record they belong to
- Append-only tenant notes that become immutable after a 15-minute edit window
- Insurance, property tax, and rental licence records with an SMS renewal reminder before they lapse
- Per-property P&L, NOI, and cap rate, plus CSV import and export
The honest version
There's a right answer for you.
Sometimes it isn't us, and we'll say so. Here's the short way to tell.
Choose Azibo if
- A $0 monthly bill is the constraint you are optimising for.
- You want rent collection and a Schedule E form without a subscription.
- Paying per lease and per screening, only when you use them, suits your year.
- You are comfortable with a product funded by banking and transaction fees.
Choose rents.ai if
- You want depreciation computed from cost basis rather than a form to fill in.
- You want a per-property ledger and P&L, not one account-level view.
- You want rent roll late fees derived from each lease's terms.
- You would rather pay a flat fee than have the product monetise your tenants.
On purpose
Free is a real argument. Here is the counter.
Azibo costs a landlord nothing per month, and no amount of positioning changes that. The counter is narrow: rents.ai computes the depreciation deduction and keeps the Schedule E rollup per property, all year, which is the line most landlords under-claim or miss entirely. If that line is not your problem, Azibo is free and you should use it.
Questions
What landlords ask comparing the two.
Is Azibo actually free for landlords?
Yes, for the platform itself. As published on azibo.com/pricing on August 10, 2026, there is no monthly fee for property owners, and rent collection, banking, transaction import, accounting and a Schedule E tax form are included. Paid items are separate: a state-specific lease with eSign at $29.99, tenant credit and background checks at $39.99 charged to the applicant, Collaborate at $99 per seat per year, and premium onboarding at $300.
What does rents.ai do that Azibo's free plan does not?
Azibo's pricing page lists a Schedule E tax form but does not state that it computes a residential depreciation schedule. rents.ai computes depreciation from cost basis, land value and in-service date on the 27.5-year straight-line mid-month convention, keeps a per-property ledger and P&L, and derives rent roll late fees from each lease's due day, grace period and fee rule.
Can I use both?
Yes. Collect rent in Azibo and record the resulting income in rents.ai. There is no automatic integration between them, so you would enter transactions or import a CSV export.
Look at the depreciation line first.
The demo shows line 18 computed from a real cost basis and in-service date. If that number does not change anything for you, the free option is the right one.
- Live demo: no signup or card
- No bank connection. Nothing changes for your tenants
- Trial: 7 days, card required, $0 today
- Then $10/mo for one or $18/mo for unlimited
