Ping vs TurboTenant
TurboTenant and Ping solve different problems. TurboTenant 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 TurboTenant's website for current features and pricing.
The short version
Choose TurboTenant if you want landlords who want listings, screening, leases and rent collection in one place, and are happy to have tenants pay through the platform.
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.

What TurboTenant does well
TurboTenant is an all-in-one landlord platform: rental listings, applications and screening, lease templates, online rent collection and basic accounting. It has a free plan for landlords, with paid annual plans that unlock extra features, and some costs (like screening) are paid by applicants.
It's a good fit for: Landlords who want listings, screening, leases and rent collection in one place, and are happy to have tenants pay through the platform.
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 TurboTenant for listings, screening and leases, and Ping for the monthly reminder and follow-up rhythm, especially for tenants who pay outside the platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is TurboTenant free?+
TurboTenant offers a free plan for landlords, with paid plans that add features. Some costs, like screening reports, are typically paid by applicants. Check TurboTenant's pricing page for current details.
Does Ping collect rent payments?+
No. Ping focuses on reminders and tracking. Tenants keep paying the way they do now, and you mark rent as paid with one click from your email or dashboard.
Is Ping a full TurboTenant replacement?+
Not if you rely on listings, screening or lease signing. Ping replaces the part where you remember, remind and chase rent every month.
