Why Teams Choose Avery

Rently pain points

Here is how Avery offers a different approach.

Hardware Lock-In

Rently requires proprietary smart locks, access panels, cameras, and sensors. That is a significant upfront investment—and switching later means losing that investment.

Avery is 100% software. Use your existing access system, or our ID-verified codes. No hardware to buy, install, or maintain.

Opaque Pricing

Rently does not publish pricing. You need to request a custom quote, which typically means a sales process and negotiation.

Avery has transparent pricing on our website: $99/yr or $299/yr. No surprises, no sales games.

Enterprise-Focused

Rently is built for large operators like Greystar and Progress Residential. Smaller portfolios may not get the same attention or pricing.

Avery works great for portfolios of any size—from 50 to 5,000+ units. You get the same AI-powered features regardless of size.

Complex Implementation

Deploying Rently across a portfolio means installing hardware at every property. That takes time, coordination, and ongoing maintenance.

Avery deploys in days, not weeks. No installation appointments, no hardware failures, no battery changes.

Rently vs Avery FAQ

Can I use Avery alongside Rently hardware?

Yes. If you have already invested in smart locks or access hardware, Avery can work alongside them. Our software handles the AI-powered lead nurturing and qualification while you continue using your existing access system.

What if I need smart home features like leak sensors?

Avery focuses on leasing automation and AI, not smart home hardware. If you need sensors and cameras, you might use Rently for hardware and Avery for leasing—or use standalone smart home products.

Is Rently better for self-guided tours?

Rently pioneered self-guided tours with hardware. But Avery offers software-based self-access with ID verification—no hardware needed. For many portfolios, our approach is simpler and more cost-effective.

How do I migrate from Rently?

We import your leads and set up your workflows within 5-7 business days. If you want to keep using Rently hardware for access control, you can—Avery handles the leasing automation layer on top.

Is Avery right for large portfolios?

Absolutely. Our Enterprise plan handles unlimited units with custom integrations, SLA guarantees, and dedicated support. We just also happen to work great for smaller portfolios too.
