LeaseRunner vs SourceForge

LeaseRunner lands on Worth it, and SourceForge lands on Depends.

LeaseRunner

Worth it

Confidence: Medium

Buy if you're an independent landlord who screens applicants occasionally and wants pay-per-use instead of a monthly subscription.

Depends

Confidence: Medium

Reasonable as a secondary demand-gen directory for B2B software vendors; expect opaque pricing and lingering trust issues.
