Cozy vs TurboTenant

[Laura Sulak]

Hi, everyone! What are your thoughts on Cozy or TurboTenant?. I will own five units from two properties by mid-August. I want to manage them online as much as possible. Both of these free management tools look promising, and I don't need something like Buildium or Appfolio yet.

I've done some reading in the forums on both Cozy and TurboTenant, and there doesn't seem to be just one better choice. 

What are your thoughts? Do you think one has an advantage over the other?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Well, since I started this thread, I guess I should update it... I've been using Cozy for rent collection for two months now, and it's been great. 

I chose Cozy over TurboTenant only because Cozy is already set up to accept online payments. That was my most immediate need.

I inherited five tenants and all but one have switched to paying with Cozy. It will be a requirement for new tenants to pay rent online going forward.

There is no fee for tenant or landlord with Cozy when using an AFT. The tenant can choose to pay the extra for debit or credit. Setup is super easy and the user interface is very smooth to navigate. 

I haven't had an opportunity to use Cozy for listing yet. That will happen within the next month or two. Will update this thread when I do.

Thank you, everyone, for your input so far! It's been very helpful.
