Tenant screening - turbo tenant vs cozy vs smartmove

Guys, I am trying to see which service is the best to use.  We've used Smart Move and Cozy, but have not tried Turbo Tenant.  I just am concerned if we have to go through an eviction, we'll not have the information from Smart Move since we cannot see the entire personal information.  I like the scoring feature where it says approve or deny, as Cozy doesn't give that info.  Any one try all three?  Which do you guys find the most useful? ?

As @Anna Watkins mentioned in her response, make sure that you go the extra mile and do a comprehensive search of the applicant on the internet. It's amazing what you can find through a simple google search (i.e. maybe criminal charge was removed from the person's record, turns out their Facebook shows they like to party, etc.). In addition, walk the tenant to their car after the showing. The condition of their car can be very telling as to how they treat their personal property.
