How we compare
- We read each company's public pricing, feature and help pages, and we record the date. We don't sign up for trials or create accounts to look behind a paywall.
- Every price or feature cell links to its source. If we couldn't load or confirm something, we leave it out instead of guessing.
- We compare like for like: the cheapest plan that lets you create and sign a lease, next to what MakeLease charges for the same job.
- We say where we lose. MakeLease doesn't add state-specific clauses, collect rent, screen tenants, list vacancies or have a mobile app. If you need those, one of these tools will suit you better.
- No scores, no star ratings, no affiliate links. We re-check sources monthly and correct reported errors within 48 hours.
What MakeLease does
MakeLease walks you through an eight-step lease wizard, generates a PDF and sends it to your tenants for e-signature; tenants sign from an emailed link without an account. It costs nothing today and asks for no card; you need a free account to generate, save or send a lease. See what the lease includes and how online signing works.
