Strategy
Not a single winner. A stack. 2 tools across 2 jobs, priced from the vendors' own pages, with the ones you can skip called out on their own pages.
At a glance
The arithmetic
Lowest paid tier of each. Untick what you would not run.
Your stack, per month
The entries
Property management
you self-manage a handful of units and can commit annually. At 2/month that is the cheapest serious option here.
Skip it if you want to pay monthly. At 9.95 it costs more than two and a half times the annual rate for the same product.

Bookkeeping
you hold rentals and want Schedule E ready without paying for bookkeeping. The free tier carries unlimited properties, which is rare for this job.
Skip it if you need full property management. This tracks money, not tenants, maintenance or leases.
