Clearing for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Hosts with 1–5 short-term rental listings looking for software that scales with them, not against them.
Our verdict for small portfolios (1–5 listings)
Okay fit — consider alternatives
If you're at 5-10 listings you'll pay the $25/mo floor and get automated bookkeeping, but you may not yet need the trust-accounting workflows that justify the platform.
Why it fits you
- Floor pricing of $25/mo is approachable for 5-listing operators
- Automates PMS and Stripe data ingestion that small hosts often do by hand
What might bite you
- A general tool like Stessa may be enough at this scale
- Plan tier pricing still requires a sales call for the bundled features
Best-for-you alternatives at this size
- Stessa Great fit
Stessa's free Essentials plan with unlimited properties is ideal for solo investors tracking 1-5 rentals without paying per-listing fees.
From $0/mo • No free trial · Free accounting tool for solo real estate investors
- Hostfully Bookkeeper Okay fit — consider alternatives
Workable if you have at least 4 listings, but the $129/mo minimum is steep for small portfolios needing only basic accounting.
From $129 • No free trial · Solid accounting layer if you're already on Hostfully's PMS
- Patriot Software Okay fit — consider alternatives
Patriot handles basic bookkeeping affordably at $20/mo flat, but you will need separate tools for every STR-specific workflow.
From $20/mo • Free trial · Solid budget ledger, but not built for rental operations
