Platuni vs Innago
A landlord with six rentals signs up for Innago, lists a vacancy, screens an applicant for $30 to $35 that the applicant pays, signs a lease and collects the first rent, and the software bill is zero. Innago says it makes its money from transaction fees that tenants pay by default, and the landlord can choose to absorb them. That split is where this comparison starts.

The trade-offs
Where each one comes out ahead
Where Innago is the stronger pick
For a landlord with U.S. rentals, Innago covers the leasing cycle with no subscription. Listings go to major sites, applications and screening are built in, leases are signed digitally, rent comes in online, and tenants can use a mobile app. It also lists a QuickBooks integration, an API and phone support.
If your work is mostly filling vacancies and collecting rent in the United States, paying nothing is hard to beat.
Where Platuni is the stronger pick
Platuni starts where Innago's pages stop. Growth lists rules and deadlines tracked by jurisdiction for Canada and the US, a compliance assistant, an owner portal, reconciliation and custom reports. Innago serves the U.S. only.
The price is the trade-off. Platuni has no free plan, so a landlord with five doors pays USD $4.95 a month for what Innago gives away. Platuni also lists no QuickBooks, trust accounting or 1099 forms.
