SmartMove vs ShareAble 2026: Two TransUnion Tenant Products, One Is Published
TransUnion ships two distinct tenant screening products, and most buyers confuse them. SmartMove is the individual-landlord product with published per-report pricing of $25, $40, $48 plus tax. ShareAble is the enterprise multifamily product, sold quote-only with pricing blocked from automated verification.

Why TransUnion ships two products
Multifamily property-management buyers and individual landlords have different procurement and integration needs. Multifamily portfolios want bulk pricing, property-management-system (PMS) integration into Yardi and RealPage, and a portfolio-wide compliance contract. Individual landlords want to pull one report this afternoon with a credit card.
Selling both groups one product would mean either a multifamily contract that frustrates individual landlords or an individual-rate card that under-prices multifamily. TransUnion split the two: SmartMove for self-serve individuals, ShareAble for enterprise multifamily.
The confusion trap
The trap appears when an individual landlord searches "TransUnion tenant screening" and lands on the ShareAble landing page first. A sales rep is happy to take that call and quote a multifamily-style contract, which is materially more expensive at single-unit volume than the SmartMove published $25 to $48 per report.
Conversely, a small property-management firm running 200 units on SmartMove at $40 per report is leaving real money on the table; at that volume the ShareAble negotiated bulk rate is typically lower per report, and the PMS integration into Yardi or RealPage removes hours of weekly admin.
Decision rule
- 1 to 5 units. SmartMove. The published rate is what you pay; no negotiation needed.
- 5 to 50 units. SmartMove for self-serve. Consider ShareAble only if you need PMS integration or compliance reporting that SmartMove does not ship.
- 50 to 200 units. Get ShareAble quote and compare; the breakeven typically lands here.
- 200+ units. ShareAble or a competing enterprise multifamily product (RealPage Screening, AppFolio, Yardi RentCafe).
What this site recommends
We publish the SmartMove per-report rates ($25 / $40 / $48 plus tax) because they are on the public TransUnion SmartMove pricing page. We do not publish inferred ShareAble per-report rates because ShareAble's public pricing is blocked from automated verification and TransUnion does not disclose them. If you need a ShareAble quote, the TransUnion business contact form is the authoritative path.
