Questions about the free tools
Are the tools free?
Yes. The free versions work for everyone, without an email. The full versions are free too: join the waitlist with your email and confirm it to unlock them on that device. No card, no payment.
What does the full version add?
More depth and convenience, such as every template instead of the most common ones, or several properties side by side. Each tool lists what its full version adds.
Do you save what I type?
No. The tools run in your browser, and what you type isn't sent to us. If a full version saves your inputs, they stay in that browser, and "Clear my data" removes them.
Is this the RentalThread app?
No. The free tools work today and are separate from the RentalThread app, which isn't open yet. Joining the waitlist also gets you early access when it opens, in waves.
Is this advice?
No. Results are drafts and estimates from what you enter, not financial, tax, legal or real-estate advice. Rules differ from place to place: check the ones where the property is.
