Hi there! I’m Lexi from TurboTenant. I’ve seen quite a few landlords make the switch from Avail to TurboTenant, and I can definitely share a breakdown of what you can expect:
1. Cost Structure
- TurboTenant:
- Our Premium plan is just $149/year, and it lets you manage an unlimited number of properties for that price.
- It’s a cost-effective solution that scales with your business, meaning you won’t be paying extra as you grow your portfolio.
- Avail:
- Avail charges $9/unit/month, or $108/year per unit. This can add up quickly as you add more properties, which could be a limitation as your business expands.
2. Rental Marketing
- TurboTenant:
- We syndicate your listings to over 50 popular rental platforms automatically, helping you reach more potential tenants.
- Our AI-powered feature allows you to create property listings in just a few seconds, saving you time.
- Avail:
- Avail only syndicates your listings to 20 platforms.
- It doesn’t offer AI-powered listing creation, so you’ll need to enter details manually.
3. Community and Support
- TurboTenant:
- We have a private Facebook group, Better Landlords, with over 6,000 landlords. You can ask questions, share tips, and get expert advice.
- We also host monthly TurboTalks on key landlord topics, and we offer a weekly newsletter (TheKey) with resources, industry news, and advice.
- Avail:
- Avail has a public community forum.
4. Additional Features
- TurboTenant:
- In addition to robust property management tools, TurboTenant offers a comprehensive Landlord Forms pack, income insight reports, and features designed to save you time and money.
- Avail:
- While Avail offers essential tools, it doesn’t provide the same level of community, AI features, or scalability as TurboTenant.
TurboTenant can be a great fit for landlords looking to scale their business without breaking the bank while also providing additional resources for growth and learning. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to answer any more questions you might have!

Thanks. We made the decision to switch to TT last week. In part because of a live demo with Jeny at TT, who answered my questions and offered to help with migrating much of the information such as properties and tenants.
There are pros and cons to each solution, but I think TT will be a better value for the money. Time will tell.
