LandlordPro vs Azibo: Which is Right for You?
What Azibo does well
Azibo makes its money on float and add-ons rather than subscriptions: the core platform is $0/month, ACH rent collection is free for both sides, and the books are real double-entry with a P&L, balance sheet, rent roll and Schedule E export. Banking is integrated with interest on balances. Screening runs $39.99, applicant-paid, and Azibo automates the adverse-action notice — a step most tools leave to you. Paid items are named plainly: a state-specific lease with e-signature at $29.99, premium onboarding at $300, extra seats at $99/year.
Where Azibo fits:
- Landlords who want free rent collection and genuinely good free books
- Anyone who wants banking, interest and rent in one place
- Landlords who want adverse-action letters generated automatically
- Small portfolios where Schedule E is the main year-end goal
Where Azibo leaves you
The money side is strong; the tenancy side is thin, and a few things are charged per event:
- No legal notices and no eviction tooling.
- No property inspections module.
- No AI receipt scanning.
- Leases with e-signature are $29.99 each, and Azibo's own pages disagree on whether the feature is live — treat it as new.
- No QuickBooks integration and no native mobile app; reviewers report reconciliation between Azibo and outside bank accounts is hard to follow, and tenant records must be deleted and re-added rather than edited.
- Cards cost the tenant 2.99%, and partial payments after the first are $4.99 each.

Who should pick which?
Pick Azibo if…
- You want free banking with interest bundled into rent collection
- Your year-end goal is a clean Schedule E and little else
- You want adverse-action notices automated at no subscription cost
Pick LandlordPro if…
- You sign leases often enough that $29.99 each adds up
- You want notices, deadlines and a records bundle when a tenancy goes bad
- You want inspections and AI receipt scanning, not just a ledger
Switching from Azibo to LandlordPro
Moving landlord software feels risky mostly because nobody explains the order of operations. Here it is, plainly.
1. Export from Azibo. Azibo exports transactions, rent roll and its Schedule E report; the books are genuinely clean and export well.
2. Import properties and units first. Properties and units first, then tenants and leases. Bring the Azibo transaction export as your historical ledger rather than re-keying a year of bookkeeping. The import wizard accepts CSV for properties, units, tenants and leases.
3. Re-authorize rent payments. No platform can hand an ACH authorization to another one — that agreement is between your tenant, their bank and the processor. Tenants re-enroll once from the portal, and Venmo and Zelle need nothing set up at all.
4. Run one month in parallel. Keep the old account alive through one full rent cycle and check both against your bank statement. When they agree, cancel. This costs one month's subscription and removes essentially all of the risk.
What won't come across. The Azibo banking relationship — the account itself and any interest earned — is a banking product, not data. Close it on your own schedule.
What you actually get
Comparison tables flatten everything into checkmarks. These are the parts landlords actually notice in the first month, in the order they tend to notice them:
- AI receipt scanning with your phone as the scanner. Photograph the receipt, the data comes off it, and it files itself onto the Schedule E line your tax preparer is going to ask for. This is the one that saves the most hours.
- Guided photo walkthroughs. Your phone becomes the move-in and move-out condition record — a guided sequence, timestamped, so a deposit dispute is a document instead of an argument.
- Leases in minutes, customizable, e-signed. A wizard walks the terms, the lease generates against your state's template, and it goes out for signature without leaving the app.
- Applications that pre-screen on your criteria. You set the qualifications. Applicants come back ranked against them, with weak matches collapsed out of the way so you're reading the ones worth reading.
- One click to message a whole building. The communication bar reaches every tenant, or every tenant in one building, in a single click — the "drip your faucets tonight" message takes ten seconds.
- Power tools on the side. Deal analyzer, cash flow tool, and an early payoff calculator, for the next property rather than the ones you already own.
The product is built and run by one person who self-manages 13 units — three duplexes, a triplex and a quad. Every feature above exists because the alternative was doing it by hand on a Saturday.
Frequently asked questions
Azibo is free — why would I pay for LandlordPro?
Azibo's free accounting is good, and we will say so. What it does not have is the operations half: no legal notices, no eviction timeline, no inspections, no AI receipt scanning, and leases with e-signature are charged at $29.99 each. LandlordPro is free up to 4 units and includes those as you move up.
Does Azibo do adverse-action letters?
Yes, and that is a real strength — Azibo automates the notice when you decline an applicant. LandlordPro generates the letter as part of the screening decision too.
What does an Azibo lease cost?
A state-specific lease with e-signature is $29.99. If you sign several leases a year, that is the point where a flat subscription starts costing less.
Can I use Azibo for banking and LandlordPro for management?
Plenty of landlords do exactly that, and nothing stops you. Connect the bank feed on our side and let Azibo hold the cash.
