Tenant Screening Cost Calculator
Tenant screening costs vary widely depending on which provider you use and what reports you need. Our Tenant Screening Cost Calculator compares pricing across TransUnion, RentPrep, Avail, Buildium, TurboTenant, and Hoozzee so you can find the most cost-effective option for your screening needs.
Why Compare Screening Costs?
Prices vary more than you think. A single screening can cost anywhere from $15 to $55+ depending on the provider and reports included. If you screen 20+ applicants a year, those differences add up fast.
​
Know what's included. Some providers bundle credit, criminal, and eviction reports; others charge separately. Our calculator breaks down what you get at each price point.
