"Free" hides a lot of small print: a property cap, a trial countdown, or a free tier that only does the accounting. Here's the honest version for 2026 — and where LandlordProof fits: free forever for your first property, focused on the compliance that actually gets you fined.

Most free tiers cover just one or two units, then move you to a paid plan. Fine for a single property — watch the ceiling if you're growing.
Some "free" offers are a time-limited trial, not a permanent free tier. When the clock runs out, so does access.
Several free tiers are built around bookkeeping and tax, not compliance — they won't track your certificate and renewal deadlines.
Free tiers, limits and features change — always check each provider's current terms before deciding. Figures below are as publicly described at the time of writing.
Your first property is free forever — not a trial. When you're ready for more, Pro is a flat £39/year (or £4.99/month) for up to 30 properties, so the price doesn't climb as your portfolio does.
