Mozongi REMA vs Avail

Avail is a popular DIY-landlord tool, and it does have a free tier — so it is a real option worth comparing. The deciding factor for most Canadian landlords is which country the tool was built for.

Who Avail is built for

Avail (owned by Realtor.com) is built for do-it-yourself landlords in the United States. Its core tooling — listing syndication, applicant screening, and lease templates — is designed around U.S. listing sites, U.S. credit and background-check providers, and U.S. state lease law.

For a U.S. landlord that is a strength. For a Canadian landlord, several of those core workflows point at the wrong country — the screening rails and lease templates are not built for Quebec or the rest of Canada.

Where Mozongi REMA is different

Mozongi REMA is built for a specific person: the landlord who owns a handful of properties, mostly self-manages, and wants to actually understand the numbers — without a monthly bill to get started.

• A genuinely free tier. Your first property, with full financial analytics — net cash flow, cap rate, ROI, DSCR — no credit card.
• Built for Canada. Every amount in Canadian dollars, Quebec's Law 25 respected, and ready for the July 1 lease-turnover rush. No re-interpreting U.S. defaults.
• Financial clarity first. The dashboard answers "what is this portfolio actually doing?" the moment you open it.
• Simple enough to stick with. No onboarding project — add a property and a lease and you are running.

The honest recommendation

If you rent property in the United States, Avail's free tier is a sensible place to start. If your properties are in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada, choose a tool whose defaults already match your market: Mozongi REMA tracks in CAD, respects Law 25, and is built around the Quebec lease and July 1 — also free to start.
