Overview

Landlords can create listings and syndicate them to Zillow, Zumper, Trulia, Padmapper, Dwellsy and HotPads. Online rent collection supports tenant autopay, reminders, late fees and receipts, with income tracked automatically. These tools cover recurring tasks in one place, which suits owners running their own rentals, but they do not make the service suitable for a larger portfolio: every plan includes three units, and the stated property limit is three.

Accounting 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. The cash basis is practical for landlords monitoring cash flow and preparing tax figures, but owners who need accrual accounting should look elsewhere.

Key features

Leasing, payments and maintenance

Listing syndication can extend a vacancy's reach across several rental sites. Tenant autopay, reminders and receipts support regular collections, while late fees and automated income tracking reduce some manual follow-up. Tenants can send maintenance requests through a portal; landlords can track and prioritize the resulting tasks.

Accounting and integrations

Bank feeds use Plaid and are available in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, but require Pro. Pro and Pro Plus also connect to Xero, syncing transactions entered in Landlord Studio one way. That is useful for landlords who keep their bookkeeping in Xero, though it is not a two-way workflow.

Security and support

All accounts have email two-factor authentication, which cannot be disabled. The privacy policy says user information is stored on secure servers with SSL certificates and that transfers between users and the service are encrypted. Email and chat support are available on Go; Pro adds priority support, and Pro Plus adds an account manager.

Pricing

Landlord Studio uses a freemium model, with a free plan, paid plans from $12/mo and a 14-day trial. The paid prices below are monthly equivalents billed annually.

Plan	Price and terms	What it includes	Best fit
Go	Free	Three units, one user, 10 documents, standard reports, standard chat and email support	New landlords managing one to three units who can work within the document and seat limits
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 bank feeds, a Xero connection or room for additional users and documents
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	Small landlord teams that need more seats, storage or bank feeds

Go is a meaningful starting point, but its one-user and 10-document caps can constrain even a small operation. Pro adds useful accounting connections and raises the document allowance to 250, yet does not increase the three-unit property ceiling. Pro Plus is chiefly a capacity and support upgrade; it still does not suit a landlord who has more than three properties. The paid plans are billed annually, so their monthly prices are not monthly billing terms.

Platforms

Landlord Studio runs on Android, iOS and the web. That gives landlords mobile and browser access to the same rental-management service.

Who it's for

Go is aimed at new landlords managing one to three units. Pro targets landlords with multiple units who want to automate listings, rent collection and reporting, although the plan's three included units limit how far that positioning stretches. The company says co-founder Charles Chan created the product to manage his own rental property and has operated since 2014.

It is a sensible fit for self-managing owners who value cash-basis accounting, tax reports and tenant operations together. It is a poor fit for larger portfolios or anyone who requires accrual accounting.

Pros and cons

Broad small-landlord workflow: Listings, rent collection, maintenance requests, bookkeeping and tax reports sit in one service.
Useful tax reporting: More than 15 reports include Schedule E and profit and loss.
Free entry point: Go is free and covers up to three units, though it limits users to one and documents to 10.
Paid accounting connections: Pro and Pro Plus add one-way Xero syncing, while Pro also includes Plaid bank feeds in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
Hard portfolio ceiling: All plans include three units, so upgrading does not address growth beyond that limit.
Cash-basis accounting only: Owners who need accrual accounting will need another product.
Annual paid billing: Pro and Pro Plus prices are monthly equivalents billed annually.

Alternatives

For a free landlord-focused option with a similar three-unit starting point, consider Brikone; its Landlord plan is free forever for up to three units with no credit card, while Landlord Studio's paid plans add Xero integration and Plaid bank feeds.

Hutstack Property has a free tier for landlords managing one to 10 properties, with rent tracking, tenant records, lease reminders, maintenance requests, expense tracking and an owner dashboard; choose it if that stated property range matters more than Landlord Studio's included tax reports and accounting integrations.

PROMAS The Professional Landlord is an alternative for landlords considering a 30-unit monthly lease plan at 60.00 USD per month.

Ayillo Tenant Screening is a paid alternative with a $49.00 USD per month core workspace that includes its first five units.

Entrata is a paid property-management alternative with custom pricing.

RealPage OneSite is another paid alternative.

Tenant File is a paid alternative with monthly plans tied to rental counts.

MRI Property Management X is a paid alternative with custom pricing.

Verdict

Choose Landlord Studio if you manage up to three properties and want rent collection, maintenance, cash-basis bookkeeping and tax reporting together, with a free plan to start. Look elsewhere if your portfolio exceeds three properties or you need accrual accounting; neither paid tier removes those constraints.
