Landlord Vision alternatives for UK landlords (2026)

Short answer: Landlord Vision is a well-reviewed, accounting-led landlord app, but its prices exclude VAT, there's no free plan, and referencing, its AI assistant and Xero sit on the £84.97 + VAT Enterprise plan. The main alternatives are RentFig (all-in-one, free for 2 tenancies, from £9 a month with no VAT on top), Hammock (bookkeeping and MTD, priced by number of properties), Landlord Studio and Alphaletz (free tiers), and PaTMa (free for one property).

Prices and features checked on each provider's own website on 14 October 2026.

What Landlord Vision is

Landlord Vision is UK property management and accounting software priced by the number of tenancies: Starter £19.97 a month for 4 tenancies, Standard £29.97 for 10, Premium £39.97 for 15 and Enterprise £84.97 for 25, all on annual billing and excluding VAT. Starter is currently on a two-year promotion at £7.99 + VAT, and Standard and above have 20% off the first year until 30 October 2026.

Every plan includes Making Tax Digital — quarterly updates and the tax return — and it has a 4.8 rating from 368 reviews on Trustpilot. There's a 2-week free trial and no free plan.

Why landlords look for an alternative

  • Prices exclude VAT, so most landlords pay 20% more than the headline figure.
  • There's no free plan — only a 2-week trial.
  • Tenant referencing, the AI task assistant and Xero integration are only on the Enterprise plan.
  • The tenant portal and e-signatures start on Standard, and work orders on Premium.
  • It's priced per tenancy, so an HMO let room by room uses the allowance quickly.
