Avail (part of Realtor.com) is close to My Rental Spot on the basics and its free tier is genuinely usable. The gap is per-unit pricing for next-day payouts, waived ACH fees and custom lease clauses — and no accounting beyond a ledger export. My Rental Spot is free for every property, every unit, forever.

Avail pricing and features as published on their pricing page in September 2026; we re-check monthly. Avail is a trademark of its owner; My Rental Spot is not affiliated.
Free forever for landlords and property managers: unlimited properties, units, tenants, leases, e-sign, maintenance and accounting. We earn on optional add-ons (AI bookkeeper, text messaging) and on screening fees renters pay.
Yes. Properties, units, tenants and leases import from a CSV export, and rent history can be entered or imported so your ledger starts whole. We help with the first import at no charge.
There is no monthly fee. ACH rent payments carry a 1% processing fee capped at $5 per payment — the landlord chooses whether the renter or the landlord pays it. Card payments carry the card processing fee, shown to the renter before paying.
Where Avail has something we do not, it is in the table above. We publish the comparison honestly and update it when either product changes.
Import your properties, invite tenants, collect next month's rent free.
