Overview

The service covers listings, rent collection, bookkeeping, reporting, and maintenance, rather than focusing on a single part of rental management. Landlords can syndicate listings to Zillow, Zumper, Trulia, Padmapper, Dwellsy, and HotPads, and collect rent online with autopay, reminders, late fees, and receipts. Automatic income tracking ties payments to the financial picture, which is useful for self-managing owners who would otherwise handle these tasks separately.

Accounting tools track income and expenses, scan receipts, import bank transactions, and provide a financial dashboard. More than 15 reports include profit and loss and Schedule E. The cash-accounting basis suits landlords focused on cash flow and tax reporting, but is not a fit for owners who need accrual accounting.

Key features

Tenant operations

Tenants can submit maintenance requests through a portal, while landlords can track and prioritize the resulting work. Combined with rent collection and listing syndication, this makes Landlord Studio a practical option for owners managing day-to-day operations themselves, not just rental books.

Banking and accounting

Bank feeds use Plaid and are available in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, but require Pro. Pro and Pro Plus also include one-way Xero integration: transactions entered in Landlord Studio sync to Xero. These tools can reduce duplicate entry for landlords already using Xero, though the integration does not sync in both directions.

Security and support

Email two-factor authentication is applied to every account and cannot be disabled. The privacy policy describes secure servers with SSL certificates and encryption for information transferred between users and the service. Email and chat support are included; Pro adds priority support, and Pro Plus includes an account manager.

Pricing

Landlord Studio is freemium, with a free plan, paid plans, and a 14-day trial. Each plan includes three properties, so upgrading increases document, user, and support allowances rather than the stated property cap.

Plan	Price and terms	What it includes
Go	0.00 USD per free	Free billing; one user, 10 documents, standard reports, and standard chat and email support. The stated audience is new landlords managing one to three units. It provides a way to start without a subscription, but its single seat and small document allowance constrain shared or record-heavy workflows.
Pro	12.00 USD per month, billed $144 annually	Three included units, up to three users, 250 documents, priority support, Xero integration, and bank feeds. This is the more suitable tier for landlords managing multiple units who want to automate listings, rent collection, and reporting, as well as connect bank activity. The annual billing term matters for anyone comparing it with a monthly subscription.
Pro Plus	28.00 USD per month, billed $366 annually	Three included units, up to 10 users, unlimited document storage, an account manager, and up to 20 bank feeds. It is aimed at owners who need more seats or document capacity and direct account support; the higher cost does not raise the three-property limit.

Go gives up bank feeds, Xero integration, expanded user and document limits, and priority support. Pro is the clearest step up for automation and banking, while Pro Plus chiefly benefits larger teams or users who need unlimited document storage and an account manager. Bank feeds are limited to the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

Platforms

Landlord Studio is available on Android, iOS, and the web, giving landlords access across mobile and browser workflows.

Who it's for

Choose Landlord Studio if you manage a small rental portfolio and want rent collection, maintenance requests, bookkeeping, and tax reports connected in one service. It is particularly relevant to landlords who use cash accounting and can work within the three-property cap. Look elsewhere if you need accrual accounting or expect to manage more than three properties under these plans.

Pros and cons

Broad coverage for independent landlords: Listings, online rent collection, maintenance requests, accounting, and tax reports sit in one service.
Useful tax and financial reporting: More than 15 reports include profit and loss and Schedule E, with income and expenses tracked on a cash basis.
Banking and Xero connections on paid plans: Pro and Pro Plus add bank feeds in three countries and one-way transaction sync to Xero.
Three-property cap on every plan: Paying for Pro or Pro Plus does not increase the stated property allowance.
Free plan has tight working limits: One user and 10 documents may be restrictive for shared management or extensive records.
Paid pricing is presented with annual billing: Pro is $144 annually and Pro Plus is $366 annually, despite the monthly price labels.

Verdict

Landlord Studio is a strong fit for independent landlords with up to three properties who want rental operations and cash-basis accounting together, especially if Pro's bank feeds and Xero sync suit their workflow. Its main limitation is decisive: the paid plans do not lift the three-property cap, so landlords growing beyond that scale should compare alternatives.
