RocketRent vs Avail (2026)

Updated September 2026 · Written by a landlord who uses neither · Not sponsored
Where we stand. We make LandlordPro, which competes with both of these. That is exactly why the section on RocketRent and Avail below comes first and mentions us not at all: if the comparison is not useful on its own, there is no reason to trust the part where we pitch.
Both aim at the self-managing landlord. Avail is the more complete of the two - listings, applications, screening, leases, rent - at $0 or $9 per unit per month. RocketRent is free with a $27 tier that adds state forms and listing marketing, and has no screening at all.

Which one should you pick?

Pick Avail if you need to fill a vacancy and screen the applicant. Pick RocketRent if you only need rent to arrive and prefer it landing in your own Stripe account.

Where both of them leave you

Whichever you choose, check these four before you commit, because they are the ones landlords discover they need on the worst day rather than the first: a legal notice generator for your state, an eviction timeline that tracks the deadlines, native move-in and move-out inspections, and receipts scanned rather than keyed.

Those are the gaps LandlordPro was built to fill, which is the honest reason this page exists.

Or try the third option

Free for 2 properties and up to 4 units. Notices, inspections and receipt scanning included as you grow.
