Comparison
PLINTH vs TurboTenant
Built for what happens after the lease is signed — dates, dollars, and alerts you can plan around.
The short version
PLINTH is oriented around the ongoing operating rhythm of a rental — knowing which renewal window opens next month, which termination clause is coming up, and which rent is due — with alerts that give you time to act. Flat monthly pricing means the cost stays predictable even as your tenant count grows.

How rent-payment fees add up
TurboTenant 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, so its cost stays flat. 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 | TurboTenant 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, while PLINTH's flat tiered pricing tops out at $50/mo no matter how many doors or how high the rent goes.
Pricing
PLINTH: predictable flat monthly pricing — Small $7/mo (up to 5 doors), Medium $20/mo (up to 10 doors), Large $50/mo (unlimited doors). First month free. Cancel anytime. No payment-processing markup.
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. Predictable flat monthly pricing, first month free, cancel anytime, no long-term contract, and no percentage of rent taken.
Where TurboTenant falls short: Weak on lease-date tracking and property-level ledgering; card rent payments carry a percentage fee, so the real cost scales with every rent payment.
Why PLINTH
PLINTH puts the dates and dollars in front of you every month at a flat, predictable price — and rent flows directly to you, not through a processor's percentage cut.
