Why Clients Choose Rently!

Rently delivers a complete end-to-end Resident Lifecycle Management Platform to attract, convert, and retain renters across the entire journey (listing, leasing, and living), going far beyond single-point alternatives like RentEngine that stops the day the lease is signed.

Rently provides ONE unified solution across marketing, self-touring, access control, smart home, and AI layers, eliminating disconnected tools and inaccurate data. While RentEngine requires two or three additional tools past the rental application, Rently supports the entire funnel seamlessly.

As the industry leader in self-touring, Rently also handles vacancy advertising, agent-led tour scheduling, rental fraud prevention, AI-powered leasing automation, keyless access control, smart home automations, and 3-minute move-ins/move-outs.

Rently scales flexibly with your business, allowing you to launch with a single product and expand, as needed. We feature transparent pricing with zero onboarding fees, whereas RentEngine requires an extra $300 to $500 per property for initial setup.

Rently operates an exclusive ILS connecting vacancies to 11.5M annual rent-ready prospects and syndicates listings to over 20 top ILS websites. Our highly secure, fully customizable self-guided touring experience boosts lease conversions, contrasting with RentEngine’s minimal customization and limited safety options.

Founded in 2011 by its original founders, Rently has over 450 employees across 10 offices and a leadership team with an average 8-year tenure. In contrast, RentEngine was founded in 2023 and reports just 15 employees.

We’re known for our efficient deployments and high customer satisfaction through premier installation support, comprehensive implementation, and dedicated client success professionals.

Rently also manufactures and distributes its own smart home hardware, including smart locks, access panels, intercoms, thermostats, motion sensors, and lockboxes.
