TurboTenant vs. Snappt
Free all-in-one PM vs. enterprise fraud detection—and why neither solves income verification well
TurboTenant gives small landlords a free property management toolkit with credit-based screening. Snappt gives enterprise PM companies AI-powered document fraud detection. Both offer tenant screening—but neither gives you direct, bank-based income data. Here's how they stack up.

Consider a Third Option
TurboTenant's credit data and Snappt's document scanning both have blind spots. Credit records don't show current income. Documents can still be forged. Income Checker pulls live bank deposit data through Plaid—actual money arriving in the applicant's account each month.
Actual Income, Not Proxies
Bank deposits show what the applicant earns—not what credit bureaus report or what documents claim. More accurate for every applicant type.
Affordable for Any Landlord
$14.99/verification or $59/mo. No enterprise contracts, no applicant-paid screening fees, no sales calls.
Self-Employed and Gig Workers
Neither credit data nor document scanning handles non-traditional income well. Bank deposits work for Uber drivers, freelancers, and business owners.
