rents.ai vs RentRedi
Unlimited units and full operations, or a narrower back office.
RentRedi at $12/mo billed annually is one of the better value propositions in this category: unlimited properties, tenants and teammates, ACH and card rent collection, syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia and HotPads, maintenance tracking, a tenant mobile app, and one-click Schedule E generation. rents.ai is more expensive at $18/mo and does none of the operations. It is worth reading the table before assuming there is a catch, because on breadth there is not one.
Short answer
RentRedi is $12/mo billed annually ($29.95 month to month) for unlimited properties, tenants and teammates, with rent collection, listing syndication, maintenance, a tenant mobile app and one-click Schedule E generation. rents.ai is $18/mo for unlimited properties and does none of the operations. The narrow reason to choose it is that it computes residential depreciation on the 27.5-year mid-month schedule from cost basis, which RentRedi's pricing page does not state.

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, RentRediis 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 RentRedi if
- You want rent collection, listings and maintenance under one flat price.
- Unlimited units at $12/mo billed annually is hard to beat on value.
- You want a tenant-facing mobile app for payments and maintenance requests.
- One-click Schedule E generation over the ledger it already holds is enough for you.
Choose rents.ai if
- You want depreciation computed from cost basis rather than a report over transactions.
- You already collect rent elsewhere and do not want to move your tenants.
- You want per-property P&L, NOI and cap rate rather than portfolio-level reporting.
- You want SMS reminders on insurance, property tax and licence renewal dates.
On purpose
This one is genuinely close on price.
RentRedi costs less annually and does considerably more, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of comparison page nobody trusts. The distinction is what happens to the depreciation line. RentRedi generates a Schedule E from the ledger it holds; rents.ai additionally computes the 27.5-year mid-month deduction from your cost basis, land value and in-service date and places it on line 18. If you have that number from your CPA already, RentRedi wins on everything else.
Questions
What landlords ask comparing the two.
How much does RentRedi cost?
As published on rentredi.com/pricing on August 10, 2026: $12/mo billed annually, $20/mo on the 6-month plan, or $29.95 month to month. All plans include unlimited properties, tenants and teammates, and carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. Tenant screening is $39.99 tenant-paid, or $49.99 with income verification.
Is RentRedi cheaper than rents.ai?
On the annual plan, yes: $12/mo against $18/mo for unlimited properties, and RentRedi includes rent collection, syndication, maintenance and a tenant mobile app that rents.ai does not have at all. Month to month at $29.95 it is more expensive. Price is not the reason to choose rents.ai.
Both mention Schedule E. What is the difference?
RentRedi advertises one-click Schedule E generation over the transactions it holds. rents.ai produces a per-property Schedule E rollup and additionally computes line 18 depreciation from cost basis, land value and in-service date using the 27.5-year straight-line mid-month convention. RentRedi's pricing page does not state whether it computes that schedule.
