FAQ
Common questions
For some buyers. Landlord Studio is rental accounting and property management software built to help UK landlords comply with Making Tax Digital, with a free plan for up to 3 units. Rentalize Core is built for letting agents and property management companies, typically 50 to 5,000 units, in the UK and Ireland. If your main job is bookkeeping and MTD on a small portfolio, Landlord Studio fits it closely. If your main job is running tenancies for owners, with staff, client money and compliance, Rentalize is the closer fit.
Landlord Studio publishes a free MTD Go plan for up to 3 units, with MTD submissions at GBP 5 each and a single user, and paid Pro and Pro Plus plans on its UK pricing page, with a 14-day Pro trial and no credit card. Rentalize has no free plan. Rentalize Core starts at GBP 169 a month (EUR 199 in Ireland) for 25 properties, and Rentalize 360, for private landlords with 1 to 50 units, has no published price yet.
Landlord Studio is built around it: MTD submissions are included on Pro and charged per submission on the free plan, alongside bank feeds and bookkeeping. Rentalize does not submit to HMRC and is not on the HMRC recognised software list. It keeps rent and categorised expense records that export to CSV for filing in HMRC-recognised software. If MTD is the deciding factor, Landlord Studio is the more direct answer.
In managing property for other owners. On Growth and above, Rentalize runs client money accounts with a ring-fenced ledger for every landlord and tenancy, owner statements and a landlord portal, with 10 or 40 staff accounts on Growth or Professional. On every plan it adds a 16-stage applicant pipeline with identity check and reference records, a contractor portal with certification checks, 45+ reports, and Talia, the AI colleague. It also covers Irish rules, such as the one-click RTB registration export and the 2026 rent cap, alongside UK ones.
Ask five things. Who holds the money, and can an owner see a statement? Which safety certificates and deposits does it track, and does it keep a record of the notices you serve? How many people can log in? Does it file MTD updates itself, and is it on the HMRC recognised list? And will it still fit when the portfolio doubles? Rentalize answers in writing: client money and owner statements on Growth and above, certificate and deposit tracking on every plan, with Section 8 and Section 13 notices logged against the tenancy on Professional and above, 3 to 40 staff accounts by plan, no HMRC filing, and plans from 25 to 500 properties plus Enterprise.
