Quick Answer

RentRedi and Hemlane both handle rent collection, tenant screening, and maintenance requests, but they differ most on pricing structure and mobile access. RentRedi charges one flat rate no matter how many units you manage, starting at $12/month on an annual plan, with a full landlord and tenant mobile app included.

Hemlane starts free, then moves to paid tiers priced as a $28/month base fee plus a per-unit charge, Basic at $2/unit, Essential at $20/unit, and Complete at $58/unit, and it has no dedicated mobile app for landlords or tenants. If a real mobile app and predictable flat pricing matter most, RentRedi is the simpler choice. If you want Hemlane’s 24/7 human repair coordination team layered on top of software, Essential or Complete may be worth the added, scaling cost.

Takeaway: The clearest gap between Hemlane and RentRedi is mobile: Hemlane has no dedicated app for landlords or tenants, something its own users ask for directly, and its pricing scales per unit and per tier where RentRedi’s flat rate doesn’t.

Why Landlords Choose RentRedi Over Hemlane

A real mobile app for landlords and tenants, filling the exact gap Hemlane users report wanting.

Flat pricing with no per-unit fee, versus Hemlane’s $28 base fee plus a per-unit rate that climbs depending on tier.

Cash payment options aren’t part of Hemlane’s rent collection setup.

Credit reporting rewards on-time tenants across all three credit bureaus, something Hemlane doesn’t offer.

AI-powered receipt scanning and one-click Schedule E streamline tax prep beyond Hemlane’s export-based reporting.

How Does Pricing Actually Compare Across Portfolio Sizes?

RentRedi’s pricing is one flat rate regardless of plan term or unit count: $12/month billed annually, $20/month on a 6-month term, or $29.95/month billed monthly. Every feature is included on every term.

Hemlane starts with a free Starter tier, then moves to three paid tiers, each priced as a $28/month base fee plus a per-unit rate: Basic adds $2/unit (one unit runs $30/month), Essential adds $20/unit (one unit runs $48/month) and unlocks 24/7 repair coordination, and Complete adds $58/unit (one unit runs $86/month) and unlocks Hemlane’s vetted vendor network and a dedicated leasing coordinator.

Here’s where that plays out in practice: a landlord with 5 units on RentRedi’s annual plan pays $12/month, full stop. That same landlord on Hemlane Essential pays $128/month ($28 base plus $20 per unit across 5 units).

For a self-managing landlord who wants software without added human services, RentRedi’s flat rate is usually the simpler and cheaper choice. For a landlord who specifically wants Hemlane’s human repair coordination team handling maintenance calls, Essential or Complete may be worth the added, scaling cost.

Put Us to the Test

We built the mobile app Hemlane’s own customers are asking for. Managing rentals from a browser only goes so far.
No per-unit math. Hemlane’s pricing grows with every unit and every tier, RentRedi’s doesn’t.
Tenants can pay with cash and build credit with us. Neither is available through Hemlane.
Maintenance coordination is a tie, everything else isn’t. Hemlane’s repair network is a genuine strength, but RentRedi matches it and adds mobile, cash payments, and credit reporting on top.
Credit reporting to all three bureaus is built in. It’s one of the top reasons tenants pay on time, and it’s not something Hemlane offers.

Still weighing the two head-to-head? These are the questions landlords ask most before deciding between RentRedi and Hemlane.

FAQ: RentRedi vs Hemlane

Is there a mobile app for Hemlane property management software?

No, Hemlane is browser-only for both landlords and tenants. There is no dedicated mobile app, which is a commonly requested feature in Hemlane’s own user reviews. RentRedi includes a full mobile app for both landlords and tenants on every plan.

What are the top Hemlane alternatives for landlords?

Landlords comparing Hemlane against alternatives typically weigh RentRedi, TenantCloud, and similar software based on mobile access, pricing structure, and included features. RentRedi’s flat rate and built-in mobile app are the two most common reasons landlords switch from Hemlane.

Who are Hemlane’s competitors in property management software?

Hemlane’s competitors include RentRedi, TenantCloud, DoorLoop, and Avail, among others. The main differences typically come down to pricing structure (flat rate versus per-unit) and whether the platform includes a dedicated mobile app.

How does Hemlane’s pricing work?

Hemlane offers a free Starter tier, then three paid tiers each priced as a $28/month base fee plus a per-unit rate: Basic at $2/unit, Essential at $20/unit, and Complete at $58/unit. Pricing increases both with unit count and with the tier selected.

Does RentRedi charge more as I add units, the way Hemlane does?

No. RentRedi’s pricing is flat regardless of how many units, tenants, or teammates are on the account. Hemlane’s pricing scales both by unit count and by which of its three paid tiers you’re on.

Can I switch from Hemlane to RentRedi without losing my data?

RentRedi supports onboarding from other property management platforms, and landlords typically migrate active leases, tenant contact information, and payment history during setup. There is no contract term to complete first, since RentRedi does not lock landlords into long-term agreements.

Does Hemlane offer 24/7 maintenance coordination like RentRedi?

Yes, Hemlane’s Essential and Complete tiers include 24/7 repair coordination handled by Hemlane’s team, a genuine strength of the platform. RentRedi also includes a maintenance coordination network on every plan, so this feature is comparable between the two, the difference shows up elsewhere, mainly mobile access and pricing structure.

Which Software Should You Choose?

If predictable flat pricing and a real mobile app matter most, RentRedi removes the per-unit math and the browser-only limitation landlords report running into with Hemlane. If you specifically want a human repair coordination team layered on top of your software, Hemlane’s Essential or Complete tier is built for that, even though the price scales with it.
