August vs Uplisting

August is property management software for landlords, with tools for rent collection, tenant access, leases, property accounting, and maintenance. It runs on the web, iPhone, and Android. Landlords can connect bank accounts through Open Banking to track rent, and incoming payments are matched automatically to the relevant tenancy. Tenants can report maintenance issues in the app, while landlords can track, assign, and resolve them. Document scanning extracts key dates and suggests compliance reminders. August integrates with Xero for financial reports and Making Tax Digital workflows; the service is identified as HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and FCA Authorised. Tenants can use August for free. The landlord free plan supports up to two tenancies and one bank account. Paid plans start at £8.99 per month, with Growth covering up to five tenancies and Portfolio covering up to 20. Annual billing saves 20%, plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee, and users can cancel at any time. August is headquartered in London and was founded in 2021.
