TurboTenant's pricing is unusual in a good way: the software is free for landlords to start, and the company makes money mostly from renter-paid screening, optional add-ons, and paid upgrades. Below is a plain-English breakdown of the plans and fees that matter, plus honest notes on how they compare to Okoniq Property Hub. All TurboTenant figures come from its public pricing page as of August 2026 — always confirm the latest on turbotenant.com, since the paid prices are shown as "starting at" and scale with the number of units.

TurboTenant Free — $0/month

The free plan is built around finding and placing a tenant at no cost to the landlord:

• List and market your rental across many rental sites
• Collect online rental applications
• Run tenant screening (the renter pays the screening fee)
• Collect rent online

Who it's for: Landlords who want a no-cost way to advertise, screen, and start collecting rent, and who don't yet need online lease creation or accounting tools.

TurboTenant Essentials — starting at $12.42/month

Essentials is where you add the paperwork-and-lease layer:

• Everything in Free
• Create and sign state-specific leases online with e-sign
• Lower screening costs for applicants
• Additional document and lease tools

Who it's for: Landlords who sign leases regularly and want the lease workflow and lower renter screening fees.

TurboTenant Pro — starting at $16.48/month

Pro is the "run it like a business" tier:

• Everything in Essentials
• Income verification to help avoid fraud
• Free ACH rent payments
• Built-in accounting tools (income and expense tracking, tax-time reports)

Who it's for: Landlords who want financial tooling and the lowest payment friction on rent.

Fees to know (they land on renters)

• Screening fee: $45, paid by the renter when they complete an application or screening report.
• Rent by bank transfer (ACH): free.
• Rent by credit or debit card: a 3.49% fee.
• Optional add-ons: things like rent reporting (renters can opt in to build credit) and renters insurance are available for an extra monthly cost.

Because several costs fall on renters rather than the landlord, "free for landlords" is accurate — just remember the fees exist somewhere in the system.

How Okoniq draws the lines differently

Okoniq organizes its tiers around what you do with the home, not just the rental transaction. As of August 2026:

• Home — $9/month ($90/year): up to 3 properties, maintenance log, one-tap vendor dispatch, automatic utility-bill tracking, seasonal checklists, Emergency Binder, and free year-end tax exports (Schedule E).
• Home Plus — $15/month ($150/year): up to 20 properties, plus home-value comparables, investor analysis, sell-ready tax-basis tracking, a renovation cost estimator, and a refinance analyzer.
• Landlord / Landlord Pro — $19–$29/month: tenants, per-tenant rent tracking, security deposits, and a tenant portal.

Two differences stand out:

1. Free-to-start vs. paid subscription. TurboTenant is free for landlords, with costs passed to renters or paid tiers; Okoniq is a flat subscription starting at $9/month with a 30-day trial and no permanent free tier.
2. What's inside the box. TurboTenant bundles screening and online rent collection, which Okoniq does not do at all — Okoniq marks rent paid and tracks it per tenant, and you move money via your own Zelle, Venmo, or ACH. Okoniq instead bundles home maintenance, vendor dispatch, automatic bill tracking, an Emergency Binder, and free tax exports. You're paying for different bundles — match the bundle to your needs.

Reading the value: match the plan to the job

A quick way to decide which TurboTenant tier — or whether to look elsewhere:

• Just want to advertise, screen, and collect rent, free? Free.
• Sign leases regularly and want lower screening fees? Essentials.
• Want income verification and accounting? Pro.
• Care most about home maintenance, bills, taxes, or an HOA? Compare with Okoniq before committing.
