Landlord Studio vs LandlordProof

A Landlord Studio alternative built for compliance.

Landlord Studio is a strong accounting and tax tool. But if what keeps you up at night is a gas cert or EICR quietly expiring — not your bookkeeping — LandlordProof is built for exactly that: certificate tracking, reminders and tenant vetting, with your first property free forever and a flat £39/year after that.

Different jobs, honestly

They're built for different things

Landlord Studio's core is accounting — income and expense tracking and Making Tax Digital submissions to HMRC. LandlordProof's core is compliance — keeping every certificate, renewal date and document in order so a council or insurer can never catch you short. This page is a fair comparison, based on Landlord Studio's publicly published pricing and features at the time of writing.

Where LandlordProof wins

  • Compliance is the whole product — certificate and renewal tracking with 60/30/7-day reminders is the core, not an add-on.
  • Flat £39/year — one price for your whole portfolio, no per-unit stacking as you grow.
  • Tenant screening built in — landlord references and your own application form, so you vet before you sign.
  • AI that reads your certificates — upload a gas cert or EICR and it pulls the expiry date for you.

Where Landlord Studio suits you better

  • Your priority is accounting — proper income and expense tracking across the portfolio
  • You need Making Tax Digital submissions to HMRC
  • You want native iOS/Android apps for logging costs on the go
  • You're happy with per-unit pricing as your bookkeeping needs grow

We'd rather be straight with you: for bookkeeping and tax, Landlord Studio is the stronger tool, and its free tier covers more properties. If your priority is staying compliant — never missing a certificate — LandlordProof is the cheaper, simpler home for that job. Plenty of landlords use one for each.
