Rentia or Landlordy
Landlordy has been on the store since 2015 and does what it does well. The difference between the two is not a feature list: it is where the data lives.

What it compares
Your tenant sees their own balance
This is what makes collecting impersonal: your tenant opens a link, sees what they owe and since when, and you never have to tell them.
- YesYour tenant opens a link and sees their balance and their payments.
- NoIts documentation states that, storing everything on the device, there is no renter app whose payments reflect back.
It survives losing your phone
If the data lives only on the device, the device is the backup. And if it goes in the water, so does the history of everything you collected.
- YesData lives on the server; the phone is a view of it.
- NoStores everything on the device by design: no servers, no accounts, no passwords.
Under $5 to start
The cost of leaving the free tier is what decides whether an owner of three units can justify it at all.
- Yes$2.99 a month or $19.99 a year, with unlimited units.
- NoA one-time purchase of $17.99, $59.99 or $119.99 depending on tier, with a free plan for 1 unit.
It warns you before a contract ends
A contract ending that catches you off guard costs an empty month of rent. No spreadsheet reminds you.
- YesA notification at 60 and at 30 days, with the app closed.
- Not verifiedWe did not verify this. See its features page.

This table does not list everything each product does. It lists what an owner of 3 to 15 units uses to decide.

When Landlordy is the better choice
If you want your data never to leave the phone and you have no interest in your tenant seeing anything, storing everything on the device is not a limitation: it is exactly what you are looking for, and very few products give it to you. Over many years, a one-time purchase can also cost less than a subscription. Landlordy Pro is $119.99 once; Rentia Pro is $2.99 a month, which is 40 months to reach the same amount. If you expect to use it for more than three years and cloud backup means nothing to you, the arithmetic favours it.
When Rentia is the better choice
Rentia makes sense if you want the history to survive losing your phone, if you open the account from more than one device, or if it matters to you that your tenant can see their own balance without you having to tell them. And if you are starting out, $2.99 is a far easier decision than $17.99 up front.
