Hearthwright runs the full loop on every unit you self-manage — applicant screening with a handler-ready file, smart-lock self-guided showings, maintenance dispatch with the vetted crew network already wired, and the monthly owner statement closed on the same ledger. One subscription, one queue, no nine-tab weekend. Built for the operator who already carries the pager and wants the AI under the same roof.
Side by side
Hearthwright vs Rently vs Tenant Turner across applicant screening, smart-lock showings, maintenance dispatch, and monthly owner statements — directly readable, no vendor spin, mapped to what a self-managing landlord actually does on the door.
| Category | HearthwrightThe loop, end to end | RentlyFull-suite PM platform | Tenant TurnerShowing + screening funnel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Applicant screeningIncome, identity, and source-of-income, all on one report. | HearthwrightScored four-component fileIdentity, income & employment, residential history, and the regional source-of-income rule pack land in one scored pass with each component shown as its own line of evidence. | RentlySingle-vendor screening passNational credit + background pull scored as one number; rule packs are regional add-ons and arrive separately from the core screening product. | Tenant TurnerTop-of-funnel qualificationPre-screen at the door via lockbox ID verification and lightweight prospect filtering; deeper rental and income verification is handed off to the landlord. |
| Smart-lock showingsSelf-guided tours and the lock going quiet. | HearthwrightApproved-lead self tours on your locksApproved leads book a slot, get a single-use lock code, and enter; if the lock goes quiet after a window the system re-opens to the next qualified applicant. | RentlyHardware-anchored self touringProprietary Bluetooth lockbox + manager dashboard drive the same self-guided flow; hardware is the lock-in and lockbox keys issue tenant-side codes on a schedule. | Tenant TurnerShowing scheduler + ID checkCalendar and door-side ID verification drive the showing; smart-lock install is optional and usually paired with a third-party lock vendor. |
| Maintenance dispatchTriaged tickets and the crew that takes the call. | HearthwrightTriaged queue + vetted crew networkSensor-triggered and tenant-submitted tickets land in the same queue with priority, scope, and the regional crew that takes the call already matched at intake. | RentlyCoordinator + vendor networkCoordinator-driven ticket routing into a partner maintenance network; depth of triage and crew vetting vary by region and property tier. | Tenant TurnerMaintenance handoff, not dispatchDoes not run maintenance — tickets route back to the landlord or to whatever separate vendor the landlord has on file. |
| Monthly owner statementsOne ledger under every cell above. | HearthwrightClosed on the same ledgerRent, late fees, vendor invoices, and the maintenance scope above all close into one monthly owner statement — same ledger the screening ticket and the showing both wrote to. | RentlyMonthly owner statement moduleOwner statement lives in the Rently Manager module; reconciliation depends on how many of the four categories above the landlord actually stayed inside the suite for. | Tenant TurnerNo owner-statement layerTenant Turner is the showing + screening top of the funnel — the monthly statement is the landlord’s bookkeeping, not a delivered product. |
