Rentalize vs Letman: Everything Letman Does, on New Technology
Letman is a respected Irish client rent accounting tool for letting agents. If you are looking for a Letman alternative, Rentalize covers client money accounts, landlord statements and SEPA payouts too (client money, owner statements and SEPA payouts on Growth and above), then adds online rent collection, maintenance, applications, portals and an AI colleague, on a modern platform with ISO 27001 certification in progress.
Same client accounting. A whole platform around it.
Letman is built around one job, client rent accounting, and does it well. Rentalize covers that same job with client money accounts, owner statements and SEPA remittances, then connects it to the rest of a lettings business: collecting the rent, fixing the property, signing the tenant and answering the landlord, all in one record and on modern, secure technology.
Pick Letman if
You only need client rent accounting and statements, your rent collection and maintenance already live somewhere else, and you want a single focused ledger with simple per unit pricing. Letman has done this for Irish agents for years.
Pick Rentalize if
You want client money accounts and owner statements plus the rest of the workflow, online rent collection, maintenance, applications, landlord and tenant portals and an AI colleague, on a modern system that runs in the browser on any device, with ISO 27001 certification in progress.
A Letman Alternative That Matches Letman, Then Does The Rest of The Job
Letman keeps the books. Rentalize keeps the books and runs the business around them, so the ledger and the rest of the job sit in one record.
Collect the rent online
Tenants pay online by card or PayPal on every plan, and on Growth and above Rentalize Pay adds Instant Bank Pay and GoCardless Direct Debit. Letman's feature list includes Electronic Money Transfer, so ask how rent reaches the client account with it.
Maintenance and contractors built in
Tenants report issues from their phone. You assign a contractor, track the job and the cost, and keep the landlord informed, all in the same system as your client accounts.
Talia, your AI colleague
Talia drafts tenant and landlord messages, answers questions from your live portfolio data and flags compliance gaps, and in Safe mode, the default, confirms before any change. Ask any platform you compare whether its AI works on your live data and asks before it acts.
Any device, in the browser
Rentalize runs in the browser on any device. Tenants can also use the Rentalize app, on Google Play now, with the iPhone app coming soon. Letman lists Android and iOS compatibility, and its MyLetman portal is a paid add-on at 0.60 euro per unit per month.
Security built for audit
ISO 27001 certification in progress, controls aligned with ISO 27018 and 27701 guidance, data stored in the EU, two factor authentication, and most reports export to PDF, CSV or Excel. Letman lists daily data backup and 128-bit security.
Portals in the plan, not extra
The tenant portal is part of every Rentalize plan and the landlord portal is included from Growth upwards, not sold per unit. With Letman the MyLetman portal is a paid add-on at 0.60 euro per unit per month.
