An inside look at Tenant Turner's platformSide-by-side Comparison
The biggest difference between them is that RentEngine actually does the leasing operations. That includes 24/7 lead response, answering questions, showings and follow ups. Your team will save 16 hours per rental, so you can focus on growing your business and serving your clients. Tenant Turner focuses more on scheduling leads and managing your lock boxes.
RentEngine takes a new approach to leasing automation. It was founded in 2023 by a team of veteran property managers. RentEngine is the new kid on the block and already serving top PMs that are done wasting time and resources on leasing.
Tenant Turner has been helping to schedule showings since 2013. They have hundreds of customers including many franchises like Real Property Management and KeyRenter.
RentEngine vs. Tenant Turner: Support
Both platforms are well-known for excellent customer service. RentEngine has 24/7 US-based support and Tenant Turner promises to respond within 20 minutes during business hours. Either way, you'll get the great support you deserve.
RentEngine vs. Tenant Turner: Tenant Experience
Compared to Tenant Turner, RentEngine takes a very different approach to tenant experience. With RentEngine, every prospect gets an immediate response from our bilingual team. The team will answer their questions, pre-screen them and schedule the showing. They can call, text, and email at any time with questions about the property or application process.
Tenant Turner is more hands-off and only uses automated messages. If the prospect has a question about the property, they'll need to call you directly. In addition, your team will still need to do the showings and manually follow up at every step.
Tenant Turner works for very simple portfolios where the prospects don't usually have questions. But in most cases, prospective tenants prefer the personal touch of RentEngine.
RentEngine vs. Tenant Turner: Leasing Speed
On average, RentEngine fills rentals 2x faster than the local market average. They have optimized the experience and prospects move through the funnel quickly. RentEngine leverages 24/7 immediate response, on-demand guided showings and diligent follow ups.
Tenant Turner still relies on the leasing agent or property manager to move the tenant through the funnel. Without a 24/7 team, the leasing process is put on hold after 5pm or over the weekend. It's unfortunate because that's when most prospects are searching online or available for showings.
RentEngine vs. Tenant Turner: Pricing
RentEngine takes a simple approach with pricing: no onboarding fees, no monthly fees, and no long-term contracts. It's just $300-500 per leased rental.
Tenant Turner charges $1 per unit per month, even if the unit is occupied! If you have a portfolio of 1,000 units, you can expect to pay $1,000/month for Tenant Turner software plus the cost of your leasing team.
RentEngine vs. Tenant Turner: Which is right for your portfolio?
Fast-growing property managers and investors choose RentEngine. It's easy to scale up when new units are added and you don't have to hire more leasing agents or work overtime. RentEngine is also a great choice for single-family portfolios where the driving time between showings can kill your team's productivity.
