A 150-unit letting agency in Cork and a 150-unit housing association in Leeds can end up paying very different amounts for what looks like the same category of software, and the gap rarely comes down to features. It comes down to the pricing model each vendor has chosen and which add-ons are bundled in or billed separately.
Most vendor pricing pages either hide behind a “contact us” form or quote a headline number that only tells part of the story. Buyers end up comparing GBP 25 a month against GBP 75 a month without knowing that one includes a tenant portal and payment processing and the other charges both as add-ons.
This guide sets out real, sourced 2026 pricing for the main property management platforms used in the UK and Ireland, explains the three pricing models in use, flags the hidden costs to ask about before you sign, and shows how to work out what a plan actually costs at your own portfolio size.
Irish property management software mostly uses flat monthly tiers based on portfolio size, with AHB-focused tools priced by unit count instead of features. Here is what the main providers publish.
| Provider | Starting price | Model | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rentalize | Core from EUR 199/month; 360 announced soon | Flat landlord tier, agency and 360 quoted to seats and modules | Landlords, agencies, AHBs and local authorities |
| TenantSync | EUR 20/month (up to 10 properties) to EUR 199/month (up to 300), custom above | Flat portfolio tiers, 14-day free trial | Letting agents scaling past 10 properties |
| Tilt Affinity | EUR 55 to EUR 550/month by unit count | Tiered by units under management | AHBs needing differential rent and compliance reporting, see Rentalize vs Tilt Affinity |
| Letman | About EUR 195/month (up to 100 units) plus EUR 0.60/unit/month portal fee | Flat fee plus per-unit add-on | Established Irish agencies, see Rentalize vs Letman |

Always confirm current pricing on each provider’s own site before deciding, vendors change tiers without much notice.

UK pricing splits into three groups: self-serve tiered platforms for private landlords, agency tools priced by portfolio or transaction volume, and enterprise systems that only quote custom prices.
| Provider | Starting price | Model | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rentalize | Core from EUR 199/month; 360 announced soon | Flat landlord tier, agency and 360 quoted to seats and modules | Landlords and agencies wanting one platform for both markets |
| Landlord Vision | GBP 19.97 to GBP 84.97/month | Tiered plans | NRLA/RLA-endorsed private landlords, see Rentalize vs Landlord Vision |
| Arthur | From about GBP 70/month | Tiered plans | Small to mid-size agencies |
| PayProp | Percentage of rent collected, plus a one-off setup fee | Transaction-based | Agencies wanting payment automation bundled in |
| MRI Software | Custom quote, no public list price | Enterprise | Large portfolios and housing associations |

If Making Tax Digital is the reason you are shopping for software this year, our MTD software comparison covers pricing for the tax-focused tools specifically, and the wider Landlord Software UK guide and small-portfolio options post go deeper on the sub-GBP 30/month end of the market.
Almost every provider in this market uses one of three models, and the model changes how a quote scales as your portfolio grows.
You pay one monthly fee for a band of properties or units, for example “up to 100 units”. This is the easiest to budget and gets cheaper per unit the fuller the tier is, but it can mean paying for headroom you are not using yet. Rentalize, TenantSync and Landlord Vision all use this model at the landlord and small-agency end.
You pay a fixed amount per property or unit per month. This scales predictably with your portfolio but the cost grows in a straight line as you add properties, so it can become expensive at volume. Tilt Affinity’s tiering and Letman’s portal add-on both work this way.
You pay a small percentage of the rent the platform processes, sometimes with a setup fee on top. This is cheap when rent volume is low but the cost rises automatically as rents or occupancy increase, so it is worth modelling at your actual rent roll before committing. PayProp is the clearest UK example of this model.
The headline monthly price rarely tells the whole story. Before comparing two quotes, check each vendor’s position on:
None of these are wrong to charge for. The problem is only when they are left out of the headline price you are comparing against a competitor’s all-in number.
Yes. Software built for Approved Housing Bodies and Cost Rental administration tends to price by unit count rather than by feature tier, because the work scales with units under management, not with which features a landlord happens to use. Tilt Affinity’s EUR 55 to EUR 550 a month range moves with unit bands for exactly this reason.
Rentalize prices its Cost Rental workflows the same way, quoted against units and modules rather than a flat landlord-style fee, because AHBs and local authorities need eligibility checks, differential rent calculation and compliance reporting that scale with portfolio size, not with feature count.
The only fair way to compare a flat-tier quote against a per-unit or percentage-of-rent quote is to convert every option to a cost per tenancy at your actual portfolio size. The method is straightforward:
For example, a 40-unit portfolio on a flat EUR 199/month tier costs about EUR 4.98 per unit. The same portfolio on a per-unit plan at EUR 6/unit costs EUR 240/month, more expensive despite a lower-sounding per-unit number. Running this calculation before you sign avoids the most common pricing mistake in this market: comparing headline numbers instead of your actual cost.
Rentalize Core starts at EUR 199 a month for 25 properties and 3 staff accounts, with Growth at EUR 695 and Professional at EUR 2,450. Rentalize 360, the product for self-managing landlords, has its pricing announced soon.
Agency and housing body customers are quoted individually because client money handling, remittances, team seats, open banking connections and Cost Rental or HAP workflows vary by organisation. You can see exact current numbers on the pricing page, run your own portfolio through the pricing calculator, or compare Rentalize directly against TenantSync and other named competitors on our comparison pages.
If you want to see what Rentalize would actually cost for your portfolio, you can run the numbers on the pricing calculator or book a 20-minute walkthrough.
It depends on the provider and pricing model. Flat-tier Irish tools are easiest to budget: Rentalize Core starts at EUR 199/month and Rentalize 360 pricing is announced soon, TenantSync runs EUR 20 to EUR 199/month by portfolio size, Tilt Affinity runs EUR 55 to EUR 550/month by unit count for AHBs, and Letman is about EUR 195/month plus a EUR 0.60 per unit portal fee. Always confirm current pricing directly with the provider, tiers change.
Rentalize Core starts at EUR 199/month and Rentalize 360 pricing is announced soon. Landlord Vision runs GBP 19.97 to GBP 84.97/month, Arthur starts from about GBP 70/month, PayProp charges a percentage of rent collected plus a setup fee, and MRI Software only quotes custom enterprise pricing.
It depends on your rent roll. Percentage-of-rent pricing is usually cheaper at low rent volumes and gets more expensive as rents or occupancy rise, since the cost scales automatically with what the platform processes. A flat monthly tier is more predictable but you may be paying for headroom you are not using. Converting both to a cost per tenancy at your actual portfolio size is the only fair comparison.
Not necessarily more, but differently. AHB and Cost Rental-focused software is usually priced by unit count rather than by feature tier, because eligibility checks, differential rent calculation and compliance reporting scale with units under management rather than with which features a landlord happens to use.
The published landlord rate on the pricing page is the current early access price. Agency, AHB and local authority customers are quoted individually because implementation scope varies, see implementation and data migration for what that process involves, or book a walkthrough to get an exact quote for your portfolio.
Among the providers compared here the lowest published landlord starting prices come from the self-serve tools, though “cheapest” should always be weighed against what is included, since some low headline prices exclude the tenant portal or payment processing that others bundle in.
