Tenant Turner vs ShowMojo vs RentEngine: the verified 2026 report

In late 2024, PropertyTek, a property-management technology group backed by private equity firm Greater Sum Ventures, acquired both Tenant Turner and ShowMojo^4,5. The brands operate separately, but the convergence is visible on their own pricing pages: both sell the same MojoBox lockboxes and MojoLock smartlocks, both run mirrored Pro and Ultra plans, and both charge the same device fees^1,2. The release calendars tell the same story: AI virtual agents launched on both platforms within months of each other^9,12, Zillow tour booking arrived on both^8,12, and multifamily syndication was announced for both brands in a single PropertyTek press release⁶.

That's not a criticism. Consolidation can mean more investment, and PropertyTek has demonstrably been shipping (see the release histories below). But it changes how you should shop. "Tenant Turner vs ShowMojo" is no longer a choice between competitors; it's a choice between two price points and segment focuses within one company⁵. The real market question is PropertyTek's duo versus the independents, and among the independents the one we see most in property management is RentEngine.

The most relevant third-party data point comes from PropertyManagement.com's 2026 Vendor Performance Index, which scores PM software vendors on operator-reported metrics. In the leasing software category, RentEngine was named category leader, citing the highest marks for support, credibility, and 30-day fill rate¹⁹, while Tenant Turner scored 79.4 and took the "easiest-to-use" designation²⁰.

Treat this the way you'd treat any single index: one signal, not a verdict. The VPI's methodology is its own, category definitions shift year to year, and an easiest-to-use award and a category-leader award are measuring different things both worth wanting. What the rankings do usefully confirm is that all three platforms are credible operators in this category, so your decision can rest on fit and model rather than viability.

The release histories sharpen the two philosophies. The PropertyTek duo builds scheduling and access infrastructure: tour scheduling, pre-qualification, an expanding hardware line, syndication partnerships, fraud screening, with human call centers on Ultra plans and AI agents arriving as add-ons^1,2,9,12. You staff leasing; the software removes friction. It's mature, predictable, and priced per unit or per listing.

RentEngine inverts it: the AI is the leasing coordinator, answering calls and texts, scheduling tours, pre-screening, chasing applications, syndicating to 30+ sites, with your team supervising through a CRM and mobile apps³. Its recent releases (native applications, fraud forensics, market pricing data) all deepen that closed loop^13,14,15. The pricing model matches the philosophy: results-based rather than per-unit-per-month³.

Neither philosophy is wrong. High-touch operators with established leasing teams often want the infrastructure model. Lean teams, or operators scaling doors faster than headcount, tend to want leasing to just happen. Price it honestly: run the published per-unit rates across your actual portfolio for a full year, add hardware and any add-ons, then get RentEngine's results-based quote for the same portfolio and compare real numbers.

We work with RentEngine, by choice, and that choice came from the same lens this report uses: we build operational systems for PM companies, so we care most about leasing actually running itself and the data flowing into operations. RentEngine's AI-first model and fully public API fit that worldview, which is why we built our integration on it, an integration RentEngine announced on its own blog¹⁶.

If your operation fits the infrastructure model instead, the PropertyTek tools are mature, widely used, actively shipping, and their published pricing makes budgeting straightforward. This report exists so you choose on facts either way.
