Kelpic review
An affordable Stripe-based rent platform for small landlords with broad payment options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kelpic combines rent collection with core property-management tools for landlords and property managers. Its tenant portal supports online payments through Stripe, tenant autopay, payment and rent-ledger records, maintenance request tracking, lease and tenant management, rental applications, financial reporting, and owner dashboards. The web application and native iOS app make it a fit for small landlords who want digital rent collection alongside day-to-day property administration.
The Standard plan costs $8.99 per month, billed monthly, with unit-based pricing. It includes up to 2,500 units, unlimited properties, and full feature access. That package covers the payment portal, autopay, payment processing options, maintenance, leasing, reporting, and owner-management features rather than separating them across paid tiers. A 14-day free trial provides a way to evaluate the product before committing, while the ongoing plan remains paid.
Payment coverage is a central strength. Tenants can pay through ACH, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Stripe Link, while managers can use Stripe for owner or organization payment routing. Plaid is also listed as an integration. Kelpic records online payment and rent-ledger activity automatically, but cash and checks must be recorded manually, and Stripe controls settled-fund payouts according to the connected account holder’s payout schedule. The lack of automated reminders may matter to landlords who depend on recurring collection prompts. Kelpic suits owners seeking inexpensive Stripe-based collection with broader management features; landlords needing reminder automation or a free plan should consider another option.
