Most "best landlord software" lists rank tools on accounting or advertising. This one ranks them on the job that gets you fined if you miss it — keeping every certificate, deadline and record in order. We build one of these tools, so we'll be straight about where the others are stronger.
Start free — no card required →Free forever for one property · flat £39/year · built by a UK landlord
There is no single "best" tool — there's the best tool for your main job. With the Renters' Rights Act, the coming PRS Database, spreading council licensing and EPC-C by 2030, more landlords now put staying compliant at the top of the list. So we compared the main UK options on how well they help you never miss a renewal and prove what you did — and we've flagged, fairly, when another tool is the better pick for accounting or advertising. All pricing and features below are as publicly described at the time of writing and can change — verify with each provider.
Certificate & renewal tracking with automatic reminders, a document vault, tenant referencing and live AI that reads the expiry date off a gas/EICR/EPC certificate. Free forever for one property, then a flat £39/year for up to 30 — the price doesn't climb as your portfolio does.
Weaker on: accounting/MTD and tenancy-agreement generation (not our focus — see below).
A close, compliance-focused peer: certificate tracking, a document store and statutory-serving features. Priced per property per month (with a per-room add-on for HMOs at the time of writing), so cost scales with your portfolio.
Compare in depth: RentDocs vs LandlordProof.
An accounting-led, all-in-one tool: income/expense tracking, HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital submissions and reporting, plus reminders. A free "GO" tier covers the first few units at the time of writing; paid tiers are monthly.
Compare in depth: Landlord Studio vs LandlordProof.
Treats accounting and tax as the spine of the product — Open Banking reconciliation and MTD submissions — with compliance features around it. Publishes no standard public price (contact/tiered), so verify current figures directly.
Compare in depth: Landlord Vision vs LandlordProof.
Not a compliance tracker — an advertising/let-agent service that lists your property (with optional portal add-ons) and handles the find-a-tenant step. Useful, but a different job to keeping your certificates in date.
Pair it with a compliance tool for the ongoing record-keeping.
A long-standing free property manager whose free tool was set to close in mid-2026. If you relied on it, you'll need a replacement for your records and reminders.
If you're migrating: Property Hawk alternative.
Based on each provider's publicly available pricing and feature descriptions at the time of writing. Free tiers, prices and features change — always check the provider's current terms before deciding.
