Cheaper, faster, friendlier.
Most tenant-screening tools either charge you a monthly fee, force you into property-management software you don't need, or skip checks the report should include. Here's how we stack up.

Pricing was taken from each provider public website and may since have changed; we do not warrant its accuracy and it is not verified as of any particular date. Confirm current pricing and features directly with the provider before relying on this comparison. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the above. The Services are not currently available for properties in Vermont, Massachusetts, or New York; per-applicant fees are capped in Wisconsin, Virginia, Philadelphia (PA), and Washington, D.C. — see the Terms of Service §6.
What actually makes us different
No subscription, ever
You only pay when you actually run a screening.
Most reports return within minutes
Once your applicant verifies their ID, most reports land in your dashboard within minutes. AI reference calls take a few hours and bank-link income verification adds a couple of minutes.
No software to learn
One page in, one report out. We don't try to also be your accounting, leasing, or maintenance tool.
Compliance handled
Adverse-action letters, dispute workflows, and state-specific rules — all built in.
Try it on one applicant.
No credit card required to send the invite. You only pay when the report is delivered.
