Baselane review

Baselane is a banking product first, which makes it a good fit for landlords whose main headache is mixing money across properties. The free Core plan opens unlimited property-specific checking and savings accounts through Thread Bank, with debit cards and spend controls, and ties them to bookkeeping: property-level income and expenses, a tenant ledger, rent roll and an accountant tax package with a Schedule E report. Rent is invoiced automatically with reminders and late fees, and tenants can pay by ACH or card. Smart costs $20 a month on an annual plan and adds AI auto-tagging, rules, receipt matching, balance sheets, cost segregation, shared access and 2-day rent deposits instead of 5. Baselane does not list lease templates or listing syndication on its pricing page, so landlords who need help filling vacancies will want a leasing tool alongside it. Screening is offered from $24.99.

Who it is for

Landlords who want each property's money in its own bank account with bookkeeping and rent collection attached.
