Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Great fit
Baselane's free Core plan is tailor-made for you — get banking, bookkeeping, and rent collection without paying a dime.
Why it fits you
- Free forever Core plan with no per-listing fees
- Virtual sub-accounts keep each property's finances cleanly separated
- Automated tax categorization saves hours at year-end
What might bite you
- No operational features — you still need a separate PMS for guest management
- No mobile app for on-the-go access
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Mercury Great fit
If you operate 1–10 STR listings under a U.S. LLC, the free tier gives you a no-fee operating account that flows directly into your bookkeeping stack.
From $0 • No free trial · Solid free LLC banking layer for U.S. STR operators — but not a property tool
- Brex Consider alternatives
If you're a sole-proprietor host or unincorporated partnership, you can't get a Brex card — eligibility is a hard wall, not a soft preference.
From $0 • No free trial · A solid corporate card for incorporated STR companies — but not an STR tool
