How the free trial works
Every account starts with 3 months free, and you can set up your properties without entering a card. Before the trial ends we email a reminder, and your first charge happens only after the three months are up. There are no annual contracts, so you can change plans or cancel from Settings at any time. More detail is in the billing help article.
What about Away Mode?
Away Mode is optional and available on Starter and Growth. It costs $79.99 per request handled, with no monthly fee, and you only pay when Guardian's team steps in on a request. If you take a request back and handle it yourself, there's no fee for it. See how it works on the Away Mode page.
How the cost compares with a property manager
Take a rental that brings in $1,800 a month. A full-service manager commonly charges 8–12% of rent, which is $144–$216 a month, or about $1,728–$2,592 a year, before leasing and other fees. Guardian's Starter plan is $19 a month, or $228 a year, plus $79.99 for each Away Mode request you choose to hand off.
| Per year, $1,800 rent | Guardian Starter | Full-service manager (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly or management fee | $228 | $1,728–$2,592 |
| Two Away Mode requests | $159.98 | Not applicable |
| Leasing and other fees | Not applicable | Often $900–$1,800 per new tenant, plus other fees |

Frequently asked questions
How much does Guardian Landlord cost?
Guardian Landlord costs $9 a month for one property (Solo), $19 a month for up to 5 doors (Starter) and $34 a month for up to 10 doors (Growth), after a free 3-month trial with no credit card required. Away Mode is an optional $79.99 per request, only when Guardian steps in. Landlords with 11 or more doors can contact us for custom Enterprise pricing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account starts with 3 months free and no credit card is required. We email a reminder before the trial ends, and nothing is billed until it does. Adding a card early does not charge you early.
Does Guardian Landlord take a percentage of my rent?
No. Pricing is a flat monthly plan based on how many doors you manage, with no percentage of rent and no annual contracts. The only other charge is Away Mode, $79.99 per request handled, and only if you use it.
What counts as a door?
A door is any rentable space: a single-family home, a condo, or one unit in a multi-unit building. A duplex with two units counts as two doors. Archiving a property removes it from your active door count.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your account switches to read-only. You can still see your properties, tenants, leases and maintenance history, and if you want a copy of your data you can contact us and we will extract and send it to you.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes, from the Subscription section of Settings. Upgrades take effect right away, and a cancellation is scheduled for the end of your current billing period so you keep access until then. Canceling does not delete your account or history.
