The search for property management software can be difficult. There’s a ton of information out there. Today, let’s look at two great options if you’re looking for a platform to meet your needs and elevate your business: Innago and Turbotenant.
In this article, we’ll compare pricing, features, customer support, and more to help you figure out which platform is better for your business.
Pricing
Innago is free for landlords. And now you’re wondering how we make money if that’s the case. We charge tenants low fees for certain add-on services. For instance, when a tenant pays for something via ACH, they pay an additional $2. If they pay with a card, they pay an additional 2.99%. Landlords can pay these fees if they want to.
Furthermore, Innago requires applicants to pay $30 for credit and criminal reports or $35 with an addition of eviction history reports. And Innago makes renter’s insurance available for tenants through the platform. The insurance policies are priced individually.
Turbotenant’s Free plan is like Innago. It offloads costs onto tenants to help property managers. Turbotenant also offers a Premium plan for $8.25 per month. This plan comes with advanced features and increased functionality.
Innago obtained 5 out of 5 possible stars when it comes to value for money from Capterra. Turbotenant received 4.6 stars for the same metric.
Simplicity
Innago earned 4.8 out of 5 possible stars when it comes to ease of use. Turbotenant, meanwhile, earned 4.7 out of 5 stars for ease of use.
While both products have several favorable reviews when it comes to ease of use, Innago’s are a little more common. Our platform is one of the simplest and most intuitive options you can find.
Customer Support
A platform is only as good as its customer service. Innago provides email and phone support, and a blog full of educational resources. Innago also hosts webinars to assist new landlords with the setup process and offers one-on-one demos by request.
The platform also assigns a representative to every account so that customers get personalized service. Landlords receive the representative’s email and contact information. Most of the time, you can reach someone on Innago’s general support line after hours (it may not be your specific representative, though). We always return calls and emails within a couple of hours, so don’t panic if someone doesn’t pick up your call right away.
Turbotenant allows you to send a support email, browse the help center full of videos and demos, or access FAQs to get your questions answered.
Innago earned 4.9 out of 5 possible stars for customer service while Turbotenant earned 4.2. Turbotenant seems to have some definite issues in this area as evidenced by its score.
Jeffrey Bloom, on Trustpilot, had this to say about Turbotenant’s customer support: “Customer service is horrible. I was unable to make a basic change on a tenants email and had to jump through hoops and many other convoluted instructions all of which were useless. When I asked to speak with someone on the phone I was told I have to pay for premium membership in order to speak with someone.”

Features are a key part of comparing property management platforms. The platform you choose must have features that enhance your business.
