Innago
100% free PM software for small and independent landlords.
Overview
Innago is a free property management product for small and independent landlords, covering the core leasing, screening, and rent-collection workflows. Tenants pay the transaction fees in place of a landlord subscription, and it supports anywhere from 1 to 500 units.
What makes it different
Innago's calling card is being free with no practical unit cap while still earning the highest user rating in this whole set (4.9 on G2) — a rare pairing, since free tools usually trade away polish. That satisfaction signal, especially among student-housing landlords, is what makes it more than a budget fallback.
Who it's for
- Independent owners who want a free tool without a unit cap looming
- Student-housing landlords managing turnover-heavy units
- Owners scaling toward a few hundred doors with no subscription
Who should look elsewhere
- Managers who must give third-party owners portal access
- Investors who need deep books and detailed reporting
Pros
- Genuinely free with no unit caps
- Highest user ratings in the category
- Strong for students and independent landlords
Cons
- Lighter accounting and reporting
- Not built for PM-company owner portals at scale
What users say
Innago posts the highest satisfaction in this set — about 4.9 on G2 — and reviewers rave that it's genuinely free with no unit caps, easy to use, and a strong fit for student-housing and independent landlords. Such high marks are rare for a free tool; the few caveats users raise are lighter accounting and reporting and the lack of an owner portal for managers serving third-party owners.
Pricing
There's a single plan: free for landlords from 1 to 500 units, with tenants paying the transaction fees. There's no subscription cost or per-unit charge to the landlord at all. The gotcha is the same as other free models — your tenants absorb the fees — plus accounting and reporting are lighter than paid platforms.

FAQ
How is Innago free, and what's the trade-off?
Innago is free for landlords from 1 to 500 units because tenants pay the transaction fees. There's no subscription or per-unit landlord charge at all; the cost simply lands on your renters at payment time.
Do tenants pay fees to use Innago?
Yes — that's how the free model works. Tenants absorb the payment/transaction fees, so it's worth flagging to renters since it affects what they pay.
Does Innago have an owner portal for a management company?
No. Innago lacks owner portals and isn't built to serve PM companies at scale, so it's aimed at independent landlords managing their own units rather than managers reporting to third-party owners.
Is Innago's accounting deep enough for tax time?
Accounting and reporting are only partial and lighter than paid platforms, so heavy bookkeeping or detailed tax reporting may push you toward Stessa or a paid PM tool alongside it.
Why does Innago have such high ratings — what makes it different?
It pairs a genuinely free, no-unit-cap model (up to 500) with the highest user rating in this set (4.9 on G2), and it's a particularly strong fit for student-housing and independent landlords — that mix of zero cost and happy users is its calling card.
