What you are actually comparing
The incumbent posts your listing for free, then prices visibility per unit and per 90-day window. Ours counts neither units nor windows. These are the three numbers that difference comes down to.
- $400
- ten units, one 90-day window, upgraded on Zillow
- Posting on Zillow Rental Manager is free. A premium upgrade is $39.99 per listing for up to 90 days, priced per unit, and Zillow states it offers no bulk pricing for multiple premium listings.
- $39
- a month on RentPlace, up to five active listings
- One fee for the whole tier. The unit that takes six weeks costs exactly what the one that went in three days cost.
- $99
- a month on RentPlace, up to twenty-five active listings
- The Portfolio plan: twenty-five active listings for less than upgrading three of them on a portal, and it does not move when a vacancy runs long.
Competitor pricing reflects publicly listed rates at the time of writing and varies by market; the full breakdown is on our Zillow Rental Manager cost and Apartments.com listing fees pages, fee by fee, and Zumper for landlords covers the one portal that prints a full promoted-listing price ladder. For a furnished unit rented by the month, Furnished Finder fees run $199 a year a listing with no commission (and our Furnished Finder review covers the renewal catch). The landlord software suites price differently again: see what TurboTenant costs per portfolio band and what RentRedi costs on each billing term, what Stessa Manage and Pro cost beside its free plan (with a full Stessa review for landlords), what Landlord Studio charges per unit on Pro and Pro Plus, what TenantCloud costs at your lease count, what Avail Unlimited Plus costs per unit and what its free plan charges tenants, what Baselane Core and Smart cost once your rent lands at an outside bank, what Innago charges tenants and what it costs to cover the $2 ACH fee, what RentSpree charges landlords per rent payment and when Landlord PRO pays off, for a remote owner what Hemlane costs per unit and per tenant placement, and for a management company, what DoorLoop costs at every unit count (and a DoorLoop review for property managers), what Rentec Direct charges per unit with every fee published, what Buildium costs from 1 to 5,000 units (and a Buildium review for property managers), what AppFolio charges now that it no longer publishes prices (and an AppFolio review for property managers), what Yardi Breeze and Yardi Voyager cost per unit, what Rentvine charges per unit and for setup, what Propertyware costs for a single-family portfolio, what Entrata collects per unit according to its own IPO filing, what ShowMojo charges per unit or per listing for showings, what Tenant Turner charges for the same job about 10% lower and what Rent Manager last charged per unit and for implementation. Nothing here is a claim about how fast units lease on RentPlace: we have no data for that claim and do not make it.

What the Landlord plan includes
Nothing that decides whether a vacancy ends is held back for a higher tier. The larger tiers add scale, seats and reporting.
What each one does is on the rental listing website features page, and the step by step is on how to list rental property.
- Unlimited structured inquiries
- Move-in date, income band, occupants, pets and lease length on every inquiry, emailed to you. No per-inquiry charge.
- The screening questionnaire
- Up to three questions of your own, answered before an inquiry can be sent.
- The vacancy board
- Days listed and inquiry count on every unit, in your private panel.
- Indexable listing pages
- Real crawlable pages, so renters reach the unit from a search engine.
- Data export
- Your inquiries leave in CSV whenever you want them.
- The Listing Grader
- Free for everyone at /demo, to check a listing before you publish it. It is not built into the listing editor and does not rewrite listings for you.
Is the plan cheaper than the vacancy?
Type in your own rent and your own vacant days. We divide the rent by thirty and multiply by the days. That is the entire calculation, and the inputs are yours.
days
We compute rent divided by 30, times your days. These are your figures, not our research.
Rent you do not get back
- Portfolio plan, one year
- Lost rent as a share of that
- %
One vacant stretch on one unit is usually the larger number. That is the whole argument.

How is this different from listing on Zillow?
Posting on Zillow Rental Manager is free, and has been since May 2022, so the honest answer is that the difference is not the listing fee. Zillow's paid layer is a premium upgrade at $39.99 per listing for up to 90 days, priced per unit, and Zillow states it does not offer bulk pricing for multiple premium listings. That fee buys placement in search results, not a better applicant. RentPlace charges one flat monthly fee, $39 for up to five active listings, and spends it on the inbox instead: a renter cannot send "is this still available?" because they answer the inquiry fields and your screening questions before the message sends. Zillow pricing checked September 2026.
Is there a free plan?
No. Every RentPlace plan is paid. Plans start with Landlord at $39 a month, billed monthly, for up to five active listings. The Listing Grader is free without an account, rate limited to a handful of runs an hour per visitor, and that is deliberately the free taste of the product. We would rather tell you there is no free tier now than have you find out after signing up.
What does an inquiry actually look like?
Every inquiry arrives with the same fields filled in: desired move-in date, income band, number of occupants, pets, preferred lease length, and the renter message. You can add up to three screening questions of your own, and every renter answers them before the inquiry sends. Because every applicant answers the same questions, you can export the inquiries to CSV and compare them side by side instead of reading a pile of unstructured messages.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. The Landlord plan is month to month, or yearly at $19 a month ($228, half the monthly price) if you prefer, and you cancel from your private panel: listings stay up until the paid period ends and you are not charged again.
Do you run the background check?
No. RentPlace collects each applicant's structured answers consistently for every applicant on a listing. It does not perform a consumer report, a credit check or a criminal background check, and nothing on RentPlace is legal advice. Tenant screening is regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and by state and local fair-housing rules, and your screening criteria must be applied identically to every applicant. If you need a consumer report, use a licensed consumer reporting agency.
What happens after I sign up?
On the List your rental page you enter your details and your first unit, then pay $39 by card on secure checkout. Card details go to our payment processor and never touch RentPlace. The listing goes live on its own public page and your private panel link arrives by email: add up to five active listings, set screening questions, pause units and export inquiries. For more than five units, the Portfolio, Manager and Enterprise plans start from the Get started button on the pricing page.
Does it cost renters anything?
No. Searching listings and sending an inquiry is free for renters and always will be. The landlord or manager pays the flat monthly fee. That is the whole business model, and it is why we do not sell renter data or charge application fees.
Can renters pay rent or a deposit through RentPlace?
No. RentPlace is the listing and inquiry layer, and it never touches money between you and your renters. Rent, deposits and lease signing stay with whatever you use today, whether that is your own bank, a rent collection app or your property management software. RentPlace never asks you or a renter for a bank login or bank account details, does not verify income or assets through a bank, and does not report rent payments to credit bureaus. The income band on an inquiry is what the renter states, not a verified figure. The only payment on RentPlace is your own subscription, by card on secure checkout.
Can I list a room in a shared home?
Yes. Rooms in shared homes are a supported property type alongside apartments, houses, condos and townhouses. Every inquiry already asks for occupants and lease length, and your own screening questions can ask whatever else matters for a shared home.
