ValleyUnit vs TenantCloud

A free tier with the features that actually matter

TenantCloud's free tier limits the features you need most

TenantCloud's Starter (free) tier caps tenant messaging, restricts maintenance request workflows, and gates the reporting features that matter at tax time. To unlock unlimited messaging and full reports you have to step up to a paid Growth or Business tier.

The features they put behind paywalls are exactly the ones a working landlord uses every week.

ValleyUnit Solution: Our Free tier includes the full tenant portal, maintenance request system, in-app messaging, and basic reports for 1 unit. No artificial caps on the features you actually need.

Both tools serve solo landlords - one ships the tax reports

TenantCloud and ValleyUnit both target the independent landlord. The difference is what comes standard: ValleyUnit's Pro tier at $59/month includes the depreciation schedule, Form 4562 export, and bank reconciliation that TenantCloud reserves for its higher Business tier.

If tax season is the time of year that breaks your spreadsheet, this matters.
