Where LandlordProof wins

  • Free forever for one property — no trial clock, no card. Start today, keep it.
  • Flat £39/year — one price for your whole portfolio, up to 30 properties. No per-lease monthly stacking.
  • Compliance is the whole product — certificate tracking, document vault, PRS-database readiness and the deposit clock, not buried inside an accounting suite.
  • A live AI cert reader — upload a gas cert or EICR and it reads the expiry date and sets reminders for you.

Where Latch might suit you

  • You want an all-in-one platform with rent collection and Open Banking reconciliation
  • You need HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital accounting built in
  • You want AI to handle day-to-day tenant messaging, not just compliance

We'd rather be straight with you: Latch is a genuinely broad platform, and if all-in-one accounting and rent collection are must-haves, it does more than we do. If your priority is staying compliant without a growing monthly bill, LandlordProof is the cheaper, simpler home.
