Honest take
Where Innago genuinely wins
Innago is one of the rare products that is actually free at any unit count without nagging upgrades. We respect that. Three real strengths:
- 1.Truly free at unlimited units. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-unit charge. Funded by tenant-side fees. If you have 30 units and want $0 from your own pocket, Innago is hard to beat on price alone.
- 2.Simple workflow. The product is intentionally lean. No tier-locked features. No upsells. New landlords find it easy to learn.
- 3.Honest pricing model. Innago is upfront that fees go to tenants. No surprises later. That transparency builds trust with the landlord audience.
Where it stops fitting: no AI co-pilot, no vendor portal, no maintenance triage with dispatch, no identity verification on vendors or owners, no statute watch, no visual damage ID. Once you outgrow the basics, the workflow gets thinner than your portfolio needs.

FAQ
The questions landlords actually ask.
I am already on Innago. Should I switch?
If Innago's free workflow covers your needs and you don't want AI prep, stay (it's hard to beat on price). Switch if you want an AI co-pilot to draft every screening, lease, renewal, and rent notice for approval, a vendor portal with W-9 and 1099 tracking, 50-state lease compliance with automatic statute watch, or identity verification on vendors and owners.
Both products are free for the landlord. Where's the catch?
Different ceilings. Innago's free tier covers unlimited units with the basics: rent collection, applicant screening (paid by applicant), simple leasing. Rentari.ai's Free Forever tier covers unlimited properties and units with tenant screening and applications included, plus AI helpers, vendor portal, maintenance triage with dispatch, identity verification on three sides, and 50-state lease compliance with statute watch. Lease creation and Stripe rent collection unlock on Prime.
What does Innago charge tenants?
Innago is funded by passing fees to tenants: screening reports (industry-typical $30 to $35 per applicant via TransUnion), online rent payment convenience fees, and renters insurance. The landlord pays $0. Rentari.ai passes screening through at cost with no platform markup and lets the landlord keep 100% of rent.
Can I import my data from Innago?
Yes. Properties, units, tenants, leases, and rent ledgers can be migrated via CSV. Concierge migration (an add-on) handles the import for you. Innago supports CSV export from the dashboard.
Does Innago have an AI co-pilot like Rentari.ai?
No. Innago has a clean, simple workflow but does not include AI that prepares decisions. Rentari.ai's AI drafts every screening, lease, renewal, and late-rent notice and surfaces a one-click approve or decline card with a full audit trail.
Is the AI safe for legal stuff like leases and adverse-action notices?
The AI never sends anything on your behalf. It prepares the draft, runs the FCRA-safe workflow, and surfaces the proposal in your inbox with a one-click Approve / Decline card. Every draft is logged beside your final answer in the audit trail. Nothing financial or legal commits without your explicit approval.
