LandlordPro vs Landlord Studio: Which is Right for You?
What Landlord Studio does well
Landlord Studio leads with financial tracking: receipt scanning, bank feeds, mileage tracking, and tax-time reports, with a free GO plan for up to 3 units and a PRO plan around $12/mo (billed annually, first 4 units, ~$1/unit after, as of mid-2026). Online rent collection, listings, screening, and tenant communications are there too, and the Xero integration is a nice touch for landlords with an accountant.
Where Landlord Studio fits:
- Landlords whose top priority is expense tracking and tax prep
- Small portfolios that fit the free GO tier (up to 3 units)
- Anyone who wants mileage tracking and receipt capture on their phone
- Landlords who hand books to an accountant via Xero
Where Landlord Studio falls short
Like the other finance-first tools, the operational side is the gap:
- No eviction tooling. No notice generation, deadline timeline, or court-ready records bundle.
- Inspections aren't native. Condition documentation is manual.
- Per-unit pricing creeps. $1/unit/month beyond the first 4 adds up across a portfolio.
- Maintenance is basic. No vendor marketplace, SLA tracking, or work-order depth.
