The Reality of TenantCloud’s “Free” Plan
While TenantCloud advertises a free plan for up to 75 units, it’s important to understand the limitations:
- No online rent collection
- No automated reminders
- Limited document storage
- No financial reporting
- Basically just a tenant directory
In contrast, Roomazon’s free plan for one property includes basic property management features like rent tracking and tenant management - it’s a functional free tier for core needs, not just a trial.

The Bottom Line
TenantCloud is a comprehensive platform that tries to be everything to everyone - from small landlords to large property management companies. This results in complexity and a pricing model that nickel-and-dimes users with additional fees.
Roomazon takes a different approach: we focus exclusively on small landlords (1-20 properties) and provide exactly what they need - nothing more, nothing less. Our transparent pricing and functional free tier for one property make us a good choice for solo and small-scale landlords.
