What Rent Manager's pricing page says

Rent Manager's pricing page, last updated October 21, 2026, lists "MCP Connector" in the Premium bundle. The page doesn't say whether other bundles can include it, and it shows no price for any bundle.

What hasn't been published

As of October 26, 2026, I couldn't find any of the following on Rent Manager's website, blog, press releases, social accounts or conference materials:

• A release date or availability status.
• A price, or how Orion Connect is priced.
• Which bundles or add-ons it requires.
• What data it can read, and whether it can write.
• Setup steps or documentation.
• Which AI assistants are officially supported beyond the four named in the announcement.

If you need any of these for your own account, your Rent Manager contact is the reliable source.

Orion AI features you can see today

Rent Manager describes its existing Orion AI features, such as Report Analysis and the Writing Assistant, on its own Orion AI overview. Our Rent Manager AI page summarizes them.

A note on the name

Rent Manager's Orion Connect is not the same as "Orion Connect" from Orion Advisor Solutions, a wealth-management software company. They are unrelated products with similar names.

Where AskRentAI fits

AskRentAI is an independent product. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Rent Manager or LCS. It is live today and self-serve, and it lets Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok answer questions from your live Rent Manager data. It is read-only by design: it never writes to Rent Manager. It costs $10 per user per month. It needs a Rent Manager database with API access; see how to check yours.
