LandlordPro vs Innago: Which is Right for You?
What Innago does well
Innago gives away the software and charges at the transaction: $0/month for the landlord regardless of portfolio size, with a $2 ACH fee per rent payment (which you can absorb or pass to the tenant) and roughly 2.99% on cards. Screening runs through TransUnion at about $30 for credit and criminal, $35 with eviction history, paid by the applicant. E-signature is built in through HelloSign, work orders handle maintenance with photos and vendor assignment, listings syndicate to Zumper and Realtor.com, and there is a one-click QuickBooks sync plus a tenant mobile app. Reviewers consistently praise how fast it is to set up and how responsive support is.
Where Innago fits:
- Landlords who want zero software cost and are fine passing card fees to tenants
- Anyone who wants rent collection, e-sign, and work orders running the same week they sign up
- Landlords who already keep their books in QuickBooks
- Portfolios of any size — there is no unit cap on the free tier
Where Innago stops short
Innago runs the tenancy while it is going well. The friction in this business is the other days, and that is where the feature list thins out:
- No legal notice generation and no eviction tooling. Late-pay notice, cure-or-quit, the deadline clock — none of it is in the product.
- No native inspections. Move-in and move-out condition records are the evidence in a deposit dispute, and there is no module for them.
- No AI receipt scanning. Expenses are typed in by hand.
- ACH holds. Reviewers repeatedly cite roughly a three-day hold before funds disburse.
- Renewals rebuild the lease. Reviewers report having to reconstruct the whole document rather than amend the existing one.

- You are happy for tenants to carry the payment fees

- You want a native app on the App Store today
Pick LandlordPro if…
- You want the notice, the deadline clock and the records bundle in the same place as the ledger

- You want receipts scanned and categorized instead of typed
- You want Venmo and Zelle collection with no platform fee
Switching from Innago to LandlordPro
Moving landlord software feels risky mostly because nobody explains the order of operations. Here it is, plainly.
1. Export from Innago. Innago exports tenants, leases and payment history from its reporting screens as spreadsheets.
2. Import properties and units first. Properties and units first, then tenants and leases. Innago keeps renewals as separate lease documents rather than amendments, so import the current term and let LandlordPro hold the history as a chain. The import wizard accepts CSV for properties, units, tenants and leases.
3. Re-authorize rent payments. No platform can hand an ACH authorization to another one — that agreement is between your tenant, their bank and the processor. Tenants re-enroll once from the portal, and Venmo and Zelle need nothing set up at all.
4. Run one month in parallel. Keep the old account alive through one full rent cycle and check both against your bank statement. When they agree, cancel. This costs one month's subscription and removes essentially all of the risk.
What won't come across. Innago's stored e-signed documents stay in Innago. Download the signed PDFs before you close the account — they are your evidence if a term is ever disputed.
What you actually get
Comparison tables flatten everything into checkmarks. These are the parts landlords actually notice in the first month, in the order they tend to notice them:
- AI receipt scanning with your phone as the scanner. Photograph the receipt, the data comes off it, and it files itself onto the Schedule E line your tax preparer is going to ask for. This is the one that saves the most hours.
- Guided photo walkthroughs. Your phone becomes the move-in and move-out condition record — a guided sequence, timestamped, so a deposit dispute is a document instead of an argument.
- Leases in minutes, customizable, e-signed. A wizard walks the terms, the lease generates against your state's template, and it goes out for signature without leaving the app.
- Phone contacts that sync themselves. Add a tenant and they land in your phone's contacts, rent amount on the contact card, so an unknown number calling at 9pm has a name and a balance attached.
- One click to message a whole building. The communication bar reaches every tenant, or every tenant in one building, in a single click — the "drip your faucets tonight" message takes ten seconds.
- Power tools on the side. Deal analyzer, cash flow tool, and an early payoff calculator, for the next property rather than the ones you already own.
The product is built and run by one person who self-manages 13 units — three duplexes, a triplex and a quad. Every feature above exists because the alternative was doing it by hand on a Saturday.
Frequently asked questions
Innago is free — why would I pay for LandlordPro?
Because the free part is the rent collection, and the parts that cost money when they go wrong are not in Innago at all: no legal notices, no eviction timeline, no move-in or move-out inspections, no receipt scanning. If you only need rent to arrive, Innago is a fair deal. LandlordPro is also free up to 4 units.
Who pays the fees on Innago versus LandlordPro?
Innago charges $2 per ACH payment and about 2.99% on cards, and you choose whether to absorb it or pass it to the tenant. On LandlordPro the ACH fee is set in your own settings, and Venmo, Zelle and cash carry no platform fee at all.
Does Innago do property inspections?
No. There is no move-in, move-out or periodic inspection module. That matters most at move-out, when a documented condition record is the difference between keeping a deposit deduction and losing it.
Can I move my Innago leases over?
Yes — export tenants and leases as spreadsheets and run the import wizard, properties and units first. Download your signed lease PDFs from Innago separately; those do not transfer through a CSV.
