FilterTime: Features, Pricing, Integrations & AI Visibility

FilterTime is an HVAC filter subscription and delivery service for rental portfolios. That is the whole product, and it answers the first pain point in the research notes behind this category, HVAC systems that fail because residents never change the filter. The record tags it for single-family rental only and confirms Rentvine as its integration, which the research notes describe as native; Rentvine’s own announcement is the record’s source. This profile covers what the record says, who it fits, what to ask, and where it stands in the resident benefits platforms category.

Who it fits

FilterTime fits the SFR manager whose problem is filter compliance and who does not want to buy a package to solve it. Second Nature started as FilterEasy, and filter delivery is still the first line of its package, but the package comes with a master policy, credit building, pest and rewards, at a resident price of $20 to $80 a month. A manager who wants filters shipped to the door and nothing else is FilterTime’s buyer. So is the manager assembling a package, on Beagle’s kit or on their own, who wants to choose the filter supplier.

It fits less well for the manager who wants the managed package, which is Second Nature or Latchel, and for the multifamily operator, since the record tags it for SFR only and a building on a central plant has no resident filter to change. It also fits less well for a manager on anything other than Rentvine until the integration question is answered.

Pricing

Pricing is not published in the record. Ask for the per-unit and minimum figures, whether the price is per door or per delivery, how it changes with filter size and frequency, and whether the manager or the resident pays. If the resident pays, ask how the charge is described on the lease and the ledger, since a delivery subscription billed to the resident is a fee under the disclosure rules Colorado, California and Massachusetts have passed, and a manager who wants to stay clear of that should ask whether the program can be opt-in.

Integrations

The record confirms Rentvine, from Rentvine’s own blog post announcing the integration, and the research notes call it native. A manager on Rentvine should ask what the integration does: whether it pulls the unit list and lease dates so that deliveries start and stop with the tenancy, whether it posts a charge, and whether it reports deliveries back to the manager. A manager on AppFolio, Buildium or Propertyware should ask whether there is an integration at all or whether the program runs from a spreadsheet upload, and who at the company maintains it. The Rentvine integration page lists the other vendors in this stack on the same system.

Limitations and questions to ask

A filter program is a logistics program, and the questions are logistics questions. Ask how FilterTime learns the filter size for each unit and what happens when it is wrong. Ask how deliveries change when a resident moves out mid-cycle and a new one moves in. Ask what the resident receives, whether there are reminders, and whether the manager can see which units have had a filter delivered and which have not. Ask what a delivered filter proves about a changed filter, because delivery is the part the vendor controls and installation is the part that matters to the HVAC unit. Ask whether the manager can put the program in the lease as a maintenance requirement rather than as a benefit, and what the owner sees on the statement.

Alternatives

The alternatives to Second Nature page lists FilterTime as the single-service option for a manager whose whole reason for choosing was filters. For the full package with filters as one line, the alternative is Second Nature, linked above. For a kit the manager assembles, where FilterTime could be a component, it is Beagle. For the other single-service component in the category, on-demand pest control, it is Pest Share.

AI visibility

The 2026-09 edition of the AI Shortlist Index has no runs for resident benefits platforms, so FilterTime’s Index row shows no mention rate or position yet; the first run will record whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name it when a manager asks which programs deliver filters to residents automatically. The category guide explains the prompt types and how position is scored. FilterTime and the vendors competing for that answer can read what AI visibility means for a proptech company.
