Rent Manager is built for managers who need extreme flexibility across mixed asset types and can absorb a paid implementation and a learning curve. Ayillo is plug-and-play with no setup fee and a mobile-first resident experience that needs no training.
Rent Manager (by Rent Manager Inc.) is a highly customizable, desktop-origin platform for mixed portfolios (residential, commercial, self-storage, HOA), now sold quote-only in Basic/Plus/Premium bundles with a paid implementation package.
Quote-only. The site requires a quote for Basic, Plus, and Premium bundles. Historically $1.00–$2.25/unit; publicly reported monthly minimums start around $200/month. A paid Implementation Package is required and is often cited at roughly 2× the monthly fee.
**Choose Rent Manager:** You run a genuinely mixed portfolio (including self-storage or HOA) and need the customization depth and integration library to match it.
**Choose Ayillo:** You want a modern, mobile-first experience with no setup fee and no training ramp, and you'd rather see the price than request a quote.
Small to enterprise (mixed portfolios)
Rent Manager exports rent roll, tenants, leases, GL, and vendors. Ayillo imports those through the Migration Center and keeps a reversible export.
Ayillo also ships reverse migration: a full export of your data in the same shape you gave us, any time. Easy to leave is part of the product.
Ayillo wrote this comparison, and we say so plainly. Every pricing figure comes from the vendor's own published page on the review date, marked as an estimate where the vendor quotes privately. We link to each source so you can check it yourself.
