RentFig vs Landlord Vision
Both are property management software for UK landlords, and the headline difference is how much you get for the entry price. RentFig's Starter is £9/mo for 10 tenancies, with referencing and AI Mode included; pre-filled Section 8 and Section 13 notices and the WhatsApp assistant come with Standard (£29/mo). Landlord Vision's Starter is £19.97/mo plus VAT for 4 tenancies — its case is UK-wide coverage and FCA registration, which matter if you let outside England or want insurance alongside the software.

About that £7.99 — read the small print
Landlord Vision's Starter card shows two prices, £19.97 and £7.99, and neither is struck through. The card's own text explains the gap: “60 % off for the 2 years”, alongside a “2-year price guarantee”. So £7.99 is a genuine offer for the first two years on annual billing, and £19.97 is what the plan is actually priced at. Both figures exclude VAT — their pricing page says so in a footnote.
We are being fussy about this for a reason. We previously published a wrong price for a different competitor because an automated tool read a hidden, expired figure from their page source and reported it as the live rate — we corrected it publicly on our Canopy comparison. A promotional price presented as a standing price is the same error wearing different clothes, and it would work in our favour here rather than theirs, which is exactly when it is worth resisting.
Add the VAT and that promotion means a landlord with three or four tenancies pays £9.59/mo with Landlord Vision against £9/mo with RentFig for the first two years (up to two tenancies, RentFig is free). Residential rent is exempt from VAT, so most landlords aren't VAT-registered and can't reclaim it. If you can, you'd pay £7.99 there — £1.01 a month less than our £9, at that size and for that window. Above four tenancies the comparison moves decisively our way.
Where the price gap actually opens up
The interesting comparison isn't the entry price, it's what happens as a portfolio grows, because the two products meter it very differently. Landlord Vision prices in fairly tight tenancy bands and charges per extra tenancy above each one; RentFig's bands are wider.
| Tenancies | RentFig | Landlord Vision (annual billing, + VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Free | £19.97 + VAT (£7.99 + VAT on the 2-year promotion) |
| 10 | £9 (Starter) | £29.97 + VAT (Standard) |
| 15 | £29 (Standard, up to 30) | £35.47 + VAT (Standard + 5 extra), or £39.97 + VAT for Premium |
| 30 | £29 (Standard) | £51.97 + VAT (Standard + 20 extra) |
Landlord Vision column uses their annual-billing prices before VAT and before any first-year discount, priced the way their own calculator prices a portfolio: the cheapest plan plus extra tenancies. Premium and Enterprise add features, so check which plan you actually need. Monthly billing costs roughly 10–18% more. Checked 13 October 2026.
What Landlord Vision does that we don't
Two things stand out, and neither is a small point. Landlord Vision covers the whole UK; RentFig is England only. That is a deliberate choice on our part — compliance is the core of the product, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have materially different regimes that we would rather not approximate. If you let outside England, Landlord Vision is the more sensible tool and we would rather say so here than waste your time.
Landlord Vision is also FCA-registered (no. 918962), which RentFig is not, because we don't distribute insurance. If you want cover arranged alongside the software, that registration is the practical difference.
What we do that they don't
Tenant referencing is built in. RentFig sells a £9 credit check or a £19 full reference per applicant — £7 and £17 with a free account — with a free application form you can send without an account. Landlord Vision lists referencing only on its Enterprise plan, so on its other plans you would buy it elsewhere, which is worth adding to any honest price comparison.
Being England-only also cuts the other way: our compliance tracking is built around English law specifically, including the Renters' Rights Act changes that came into force on 1 May 2026, and the council licensing schemes we track weekly.

What you get with RentFig
And the pricing table undersells the rest of it. Compare the feature lists, not just the tenancy caps — here's what ships with RentFig, with the plan noted where a feature isn't on Starter:
- Tenancy setup wizardNine guided steps that build the statutory document pack — EPC, gas safety, EICR, privacy notice — attach the right compliance certificates automatically, and track anything you postpone.
- Section 8 notice builderPre-fills the official Form 3A from your tenancy data, with the post-Renters'-Rights-Act grounds and notice periods built in. Since Section 21 ended, this is the form that matters. Standard (£29/mo) and above.
- Section 13 rent increase wizardPre-fills the official Form 4A, with the once-a-year and two-months'-notice rules applied for you. Standard (£29/mo) and above.
- WhatsApp assistantRun your portfolio from WhatsApp — ask about arrears, send a tenant their statement, update rent chasing — without opening the app. Included on Standard (£29/mo) and above.
- AI ModeAn assistant inside RentFig that reads your actual portfolio — profit and loss, documents, compliance knowledge base — and proposes actions you approve before anything happens. Included on every paid plan with a monthly credit allowance; top-ups available.
- AI-matched bookkeepingBank transactions matched to the right tenancy and category for you, receipts auto-merged, and an AI accountant that can read your books.
- Referencing built in£9 credit check or £19 full reference (£7 / £17 with a free account), with a free application form — no separate provider needed.
- A live licensing registerHMO and selective licensing schemes tracked weekly across English councils, so a new designation on your street doesn't arrive as a £40,000 surprise.
FAQ
- How much does Landlord Vision cost?
- As checked on 13 October 2026, Landlord Vision's plans are Starter £19.97/mo for 4 tenancies, Standard £29.97/mo for 10, Premium £39.97/mo for 15 and Enterprise £84.97/mo for 25 on annual billing, or £21.97, £34.97, £44.97 and £99.97 billed monthly. All of those exclude VAT, which their pricing page states, so most landlords pay 20% more — £23.96 a month for Starter on annual billing. Standard, Premium and Enterprise take extra tenancies at £1.10, £1.30 and £1.50 a month on annual billing (£1.25, £1.50 and £1.75 monthly). (Disclosure: RentFig is our product.)
- Is Landlord Vision really £7.99 a month?
- £7.99 is real but it is a promotion, not the standing price, and it excludes VAT — so £9.59 a month for most landlords. The Starter card shows £19.97 and £7.99 side by side, and its own text describes the lower figure as 60% off for 2 years with a 2-year price guarantee. So £7.99 plus VAT is what you would pay for the first two years on annual billing (£8.79 plus VAT on monthly billing); £19.97 plus VAT is the rate the plan is priced at. It is worth being precise about this because neither number is struck through on the page, and automated tools frequently report the promotional figure as if it were the headline rate. We have made exactly that mistake with another competitor before and would rather not repeat it.
- Which is cheaper, RentFig or Landlord Vision?
- RentFig is cheaper at almost every portfolio size we compared. Up to 2 tenancies RentFig is free. Ten tenancies is £9/mo on RentFig Starter against £29.97/mo plus VAT on Landlord Vision Standard. Thirty tenancies is £29/mo on RentFig Standard against £51.97/mo plus VAT on Landlord Vision (Standard plus 20 extra tenancies, annual billing). The closest it gets is Landlord Vision's Starter promotion for 3 or 4 tenancies: £7.99/mo plus VAT, so £9.59, against £9 on RentFig. Residential rent is exempt from VAT, so most landlords are not VAT-registered and cannot reclaim it; a landlord who can reclaim VAT would pay £7.99 there, £1.01 a month less than RentFig's £9, for the two years the promotion runs.
- Does Landlord Vision include tenant referencing?
- Only on its top plan: Landlord Vision's pricing page lists tenant referencing on the Enterprise plan. RentFig includes it on every plan, including Free, as a pay-per-use product — £9 for a credit check or £19 for a full reference, dropping to £7 and £17 with a free account, with a free application form you can send without an account. If you reference two or three tenants a year, that difference is worth factoring into any price comparison, because with most landlord software you are buying referencing separately from somewhere else anyway.
- Is Landlord Vision better than RentFig?
- If you let in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, yes — Landlord Vision covers the whole UK where RentFig is England-only, and it is FCA-registered, which matters if you want insurance alongside the software. For an English landlord the comparison runs the other way: RentFig is cheaper at almost every portfolio size, includes tenant referencing on every plan, sets tenancies up through a guided wizard that builds the statutory document pack, matches your bank transactions with AI and includes AI Mode on paid plans; from Standard (£29/mo) it also generates Section 8 and Section 13 notices pre-filled on the official forms and answers questions about your portfolio on WhatsApp. Landlord Vision lists referencing and an AI task assistant only on its Enterprise plan, and a legal document centre rather than named Section 8/13 forms.
