Ping vs RentRedi
RentRedi and Ping solve different problems. RentRedi is a broad landlord platform. Ping does one thing: makes sure tenants are reminded about rent, every month, without you lifting a finger. Here's how to choose.
We make Ping, so we're biased, but we've tried to be fair. Competitor details are summarized from public information as of October 2026 and may change; check RentRedi's website for current features and pricing.
The short version
Choose RentRedi if you want landlords who want a full mobile app for themselves and their tenants and are comfortable paying a subscription.
Choose Ping if your tenants already pay you the way they like (bank transfer, Zelle, check) and what you actually want is for rent to arrive on time without chasing anyone. No portal for tenants to sign up to, and no software for you to learn.

Where Ping is different
Tenants don't have to change anything
With most platforms, automated reminders and tracking depend on tenants signing up and paying through the portal. Ping works with however your tenants already pay.
Nothing to learn
You share tenant details once and choose how consent is handled. Ping sets up the reminders. There's no dashboard you have to check.
Built for the actual problem
Most late rent is forgotten rent. A reminder before the due date and a polite follow-up after it fix most of it.
Consent built in
Ping can collect tenant consent with a one-click email before any reminders go out.
Can you use both?
Yes. Some landlords use RentRedi for listings, screening and leases, and Ping for the monthly reminder and follow-up rhythm, especially for tenants who pay outside the platform.
