PLINTH vs Avail
Flat monthly price that doesn't punish you for growing — plus the date and dollar alerts to actually plan ahead.
The short version
PLINTH stays flat and month-to-month, so scaling from 3 to 15 doors doesn't triple your software bill — and every one of those doors gets renewal, termination, and rent-due alerts out of the box. Rent payments stay between you and your tenant; PLINTH never takes a cut.

How rent-payment fees add up
Avail monetizes rent payments — that adds up fast.
Illustrative math: average $1,500/mo rent, ~3% payment processing take (paid by landlord or passed to the tenant). PLINTH never touches rent and never adds a payment fee. Year-one PLINTH totals reflect the first month free — 11 paid months on the tier that fits your door count ($7 up to 5 doors, $20 up to 10, $50 unlimited).
| Tenants | Avail payment fees / yr | PLINTH / yr | You keep with PLINTH |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $1,620 | $77 | $1,543 |
| 5 | $2,700 | $77 | $2,623 |
| 10 | $5,400 | $220 | $5,180 |
| 20 | $10,800 | $550 | $10,250 |
Rates vary by payment method and plan; the point stands: a percentage of rent scales with your portfolio, and PLINTH's flat tiered pricing tops out at $50/mo no matter how many doors you add.
Pricing
PLINTH: flat monthly — Small $7/mo (up to 5 doors), Medium $20/mo (up to 10 doors), Large $50/mo (unlimited doors). First month free. Cancel anytime. Avail: free tier; Plus ~$9/unit/mo, plus card fees on rent collection.
What PLINTH is best for
Landlords with 1–20+ doors who want to stay ahead of every rent date, renewal window, and termination deadline. PLINTH surfaces the dates and dollars that matter — automatic alerts on lease renewals, termination notice windows, and rent due — so you can plan ahead instead of reacting. Flat monthly pricing, first month free, cancel anytime, no long-term contract.
Where Avail falls short: Per-unit pricing scales fast — Plus at 10 doors ≈ $1,080/yr, ~4× PLINTH's Medium tier — no built-in renewal/termination alerts, and card rent payments carry a percentage fee on top.
Why PLINTH
PLINTH is one flat price, unlimited doors, real alerts on the dates that matter — and no percentage of rent disappears into a processor. Your portfolio can grow without your software bill (or your tenant fees) growing with it.
