Moving from Avail

Free direct payment. Unlimited units. $0.

Avail removes the $2.50 tenant transfer fee only on Plus, at $9 per unit a month. On Sproutly a tenant who pays you by Zelle or bank bill-pay pays nothing, on any unit at any count, and nobody taps anything each month. Keep Avail's listing syndication if you want it: list there, collect here, and import your portfolio with the Avail CSV.

Bringing your units over? The Avail CSV imports from Settings once you are signed in. Nothing is written until you confirm the preview.

Sproutly

Price to you
$0 for rent tracking and reminders, leases, applications, maintenance and the portal, on every unit.
What the tenant pays
Nothing when they pay you directly by Zelle, bill-pay or check. Online card payments carry a processing fee set by the processor (estimated at 2.9% plus 30 cents, paid by the tenant). They are on by default and one switch turns them off. Online bank transfer through Sproutly is not offered right now.
California notices and paperwork
Pay-or-quit notice, rent increase notice and deposit statement forms, all free. Each one is drafted from the values you enter, with a place to record how it was served. You check the official source. General information, not legal advice.
City ordinances

Three things Avail does not do

Where the notice earns its place

No tenant fee at any unit count

Paying you by Zelle, bank bill-pay or check is free to the tenant on every unit. There is no Plus tier to buy it back. A tenant who prefers to pay online through the portal pays the processor's fee, an estimate that depends on the payment method; you never pay.

List on Avail, collect on Sproutly

Avail syndicates to 19 sites and Sproutly does not. Use it for the listing and move the tenancy here once the lease is signed.

Statute work Avail does not sell

The pay-or-quit notice, the rent increase notice and the deposit statement are drafted from the days and amounts you enter, with the official source linked and proof of service recorded.

Move the units over, then use the deposit statement when the day comes.

Free account, no card. Nothing is charged for the notice.
