Overview

Landlords can create listings and syndicate them to Zillow, Zumper, Trulia, Padmapper, Dwellsy and HotPads. Online rent collection adds tenant autopay, reminders, late fees and receipts, with income tracking automated. Together, these tools can cut down on routine coordination for owners managing their own rentals.

The accounting workflow tracks rental income and expenses, scans receipts, imports bank transactions and presents a financial dashboard. More than 15 reports include profit and loss and Schedule E. Reporting is on a cash basis, which suits landlords focused on cash flow and tax figures, but not those who need accrual accounting.

Key features

Leasing and property operations

A tenant portal accepts maintenance requests, which landlords can track and prioritize. This complements rent collection and listing syndication, giving self-managing owners operational tools alongside the financial ones rather than requiring a separate maintenance workflow.

Banking, integrations and security

Plaid bank feeds are available in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, but require Pro. Pro and Pro Plus also connect to Xero with a one-way sync: transactions entered in Landlord Studio flow to Xero, not the other way around. That is useful for landlords who keep Landlord Studio as the source of their entries, but it is not a two-way accounting connection.

Email two-factor authentication is applied to every account and cannot be turned off. The privacy policy says user information is stored on secure servers with SSL certificates and that information transferred between users and the service is encrypted. Help is available by email and chat; higher tiers add priority support or an account manager.

Pricing

Landlord Studio is freemium, with a 14-day trial and paid plans from $12/mo. Every plan includes three properties, so moving to a higher tier increases seats and workflow capacity, not the property allowance.

Plan	Price and terms	What it includes	Best fit
Go	0.00 USD per free; billed Free	Three units only, one user, 10 documents, standard reports, standard chat and email support	New landlords managing one to three units who can work within the small document allowance and standard reporting.
Pro	12.00 USD per month; billed $144 annually	Three included units, up to three users, 250 documents, priority support, Xero integration and bank feeds	Owners who need shared access, bank feeds or Xero syncing and can stay within the 250-document cap.
Pro Plus	28.00 USD per month; billed $366 annually	Three included units, up to 10 users, unlimited document storage, an account manager and up to 20 bank feeds	Teams needing more seats, substantial document storage or an account manager, while still managing no more than three units.

Go gives up bank feeds, Xero integration and the larger document and user allowances, so it is best treated as an entry tier rather than a long-term choice for landlords building a more connected workflow. Pro adds the main automation and accounting connections; Pro Plus is chiefly a capacity and support upgrade. The three-property limit remains the most consequential restriction at every price.

Platforms

Landlord Studio runs on Android, iOS and the web, allowing landlords to choose between mobile apps and browser-based use.

Who it's for

It is best suited to independent landlords with up to three properties who value rent collection, rental accounting and tax reporting in one service. Owners with multiple users or a need for bank feeds should weigh Pro; a small one-to-three-unit operation may find Go sufficient. It is a poor fit for larger portfolios or landlords who require accrual accounting.

Pros and cons

Pros: Listings, rent collection, tenant maintenance requests and accounting share one workflow, useful for landlords handling operations themselves.
Pros: More than 15 reports, including Schedule E, give cash-basis landlords tax and performance views in the same product.
Pros: Email two-factor authentication is applied to all accounts, and Pro tiers add bank feeds and Xero connectivity.
Cons: Every plan stops at three properties, limiting its usefulness as a portfolio grows.
Cons: Bank feeds and Xero integration start at Pro, while Go is limited to one user and 10 documents.
Cons: The Xero connection is one-way and the accounting basis is cash, excluding workflows that depend on two-way syncing or accrual accounting.

Alternatives

For a different property-management option, compare the Property Management Software directory. Landlords prioritizing accounting tools can also browse Property Management Accounting Software or Property Accounting Software.

Revun is worth considering for owners with one or two units who want a free plan that includes leasing, showings, applications, ACH rent collection and maintenance-request intake.
Uplisting may suit readers who prefer a pay-as-you-go model with booking commissions rather than Landlord Studio's unit-based plans.
August is another free-plan option for landlords managing up to two tenancies.
Brikone offers a free Landlord plan for up to three units, making it another option for a small portfolio.
TurboTenant is an alternative for landlords focused on listing and marketing rentals, screening applicants and collecting rent online on its free plan.
Hemlane offers a free Starter plan with rental advertising, applicant and tenant screening, and rental accounting.
Tenant8 has a free Starter plan for two units and a Growth plan for three to 25 units, making it an option to consider if Landlord Studio's property ceiling is too low.
RentRedi offers a free tier for up to two properties and a paid Start plan with unlimited properties.

Verdict

Choose Landlord Studio if you are an independent landlord with no more than three properties and want rent collection, maintenance, cash-basis accounting and tax reports together. Its strongest reason to buy is the breadth of the landlord workflow, while the fixed three-property cap is the clearest reason to look elsewhere.
