Built-in AI — not bolted on
RentFlow uses Claude AI end-to-end. Other property tools charge extra for one or two AI features; these are all included at the listed tier.
Drop a PDF, AI tags type + property + vendor and auto-links to the matching GL entry.
Categorizes incoming Plaid transactions against your chart of accounts.
On /payments/match, AI suggests the right tenant lease for ambiguous deposits.
Scans your year-to-date books and suggests missed deductions & recategorizations.
Finds rehab costs dated before placed-in-service and posts correcting JEs to capitalize them to basis.
Ask questions of your general ledger in plain English.
Your 30-day free trial
No card required to start. Full Professional features for 30 days, capped at 60 units.
On day 30 we’ll email you a reminder — add a card to continue, or switch to the Free plan (up to 5 units) right from your billing page. Nothing gets deleted, ever.
Things your subscription doesn’t cover
Payment processing: Stripe’s standard 2.9% + 30¢ on card payments, $0.30 on ACH via Plaid — pass-through processor costs.
RentFlow platform fee on ACH rent: 2.9% on Free (max $10/payment), 2.5% on Starter (max $8), 1% on Professional (max $5), $0 on Business — deducted from the rent payout, shown on every plan card above. The per-payment cap means the fee never scales past a few dollars, whatever the rent. Upgrading buys the fee down. Card payments instead carry the tenant-paid convenience fee below.
High-volume AI: document classification & AI-assist run on metered usage; typical DIY landlord is $0-2/mo extra, large portfolios may see $5-15/mo.
