Best online rental payment options

Hello, 

I am looking for input from those who have used online rental payment applications for their tenants to pay their rent.  I am looking into Innago, Avail, apartments.com, a few others.  Ideally I am looking for an app that allows the tenant to pay thru direct deposit at no charge and for the payment data to be collected for credit scoring purposes.  I know apartments.com used to offer that feature of reporting to credit agencies for free but it's no longer available as a feature.  Any advice or lessons learned from your experiences is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Marco

I use Zillow rental manager and it works great to list properties (cost $10 per week to list a property for rent), screen tenants (free for landlords, applicants pay $30 per person for credit report and background check) and collect rent (free for landlord and tenant unless they use a credit card then the tenant pays a fee), but it doesn’t report to credit agencies. I’ve actually been looking into reporting to credit agencies just because it seems like a win win for me and the tenants, it encourages them to pay so they don’t hurt their credit and helps their credit when they do pay. I really like using Zillow rental manager so I’ve been thinking about using https://frontlobby.com/  it looks like it’s free to do. Has anyone else used this website?
