Job
Every bookkeeping tool we track, priced from the vendor's own page. Different tools win for different investors, so there is no ranking here. Each entry says who it suits and who should skip it.

The entries
Bookkeeping
you want banking and bookkeeping in one place and are willing to move your rent collection to get it.
Skip it if you do not want to change banks. The value is in the integrated accounts; using it purely as bookkeeping wastes most of it.

Bookkeeping
you hold rentals and want Schedule E ready without paying for bookkeeping. The free tier carries unlimited properties, which is rare for this job.
Skip it if you need full property management. This tracks money, not tenants, maintenance or leases.

These do bookkeeping as part of a wider platform. That is a different purchase from a tool built for this one job. It is usually a larger one, and it is worth it only if you would use the rest of what comes with it.
Property management
you manage units for other people and need trust accounting, leasing and maintenance in one system.
Skip it if you own a few rentals yourself. Both tiers are 'starting at' and scale with unit count, so you pay manager pricing for landlord needs. RentRedi or Stessa fits better.
