Landlord Studio alternatives
Landlord Studio alternatives, including staying.
Every price on this page was read from the vendor's own pricing page, each entry links its source, and rents.ai is not at the top of the list. That is not modesty. It is what makes the rest of the page usable.
Short answer
Landlord Studio Pro is $12/mo covering three units plus $1 per extra unit, so it reaches about $18/mo at nine units and roughly $22/mo at thirteen. Past that point flat-priced products cost less: RentRedi is $12/mo billed annually for unlimited units and rents.ai is $18/mo for unlimited properties. Below about nine units Landlord Studio is usually the cheaper answer, and its free Go plan covers three units at $0.
First question
Should you actually leave Landlord Studio?
Often not. Switching accounting products mid-year costs real hours, so it is worth being specific about what is wrong before reading a list of replacements.
Reasons to stay
- For three units or fewer it is free, including bank feeds, rent collection, screening, listings and a tax export. That is a lot at $0.
- $1 per extra unit is genuinely cheap up to roughly nine units, and cheaper than most flat plans below that.
- The tax export is on every plan rather than behind a tier, which is unusual in this category.
Reasons people leave
- Per-unit pricing keeps growing as the portfolio does, while flat plans do not.
- Its pricing page does not state that it computes a residential depreciation schedule.
- The free Go plan stops at three units, and unit four moves you to a paid plan.
- You want a product that does not charge separately as you add doors.

The field
5 alternatives to Landlord Studio.
Ordered by fit for a self-managing landlord with one to ten units, not by what we would prefer you clicked.
1RentRedi
$12 to $29.95/mo
Best for landlords who want unlimited units on one flat annual price.
$12/mo, so it costs more than staying on Landlord Studio's free plan and has to earn that. It gives up free plan, which Landlord Studio includes. Worth a look if you are someone who want unlimited units on one flat annual price.

3Stessa
Free, or $12 to $35/mo
Best for landlords who want free bank feeds and rent collection first.
Also free at the entry plan, so the choice against Landlord Studio is about what each $0 tier includes rather than cost. The published feature sets are close, so price and fit decide it rather than any single capability. Worth a look if you are someone who want free bank feeds and rent collection first.

4rents.ai
$10/mo one property, $18/mo unlimited
Best for landlords whose actual gap is the tax return.
Cheaper than Landlord Studio on the entry plan and much narrower. Not a general replacement, and it does less. It is the answer only if the specific thing you want is residential depreciation computed from cost basis on the 27.5-year mid-month schedule, and a per-property Schedule E kept current all year, without a bank login.

Questions
What people ask before switching.
When does Landlord Studio stop being the cheapest option?
At around nine units. Pro is $12/mo covering three units plus $1 per additional unit, which reaches $18/mo at nine units, matching rents.ai Pro for unlimited properties. RentRedi is cheaper sooner at $12/mo billed annually for unlimited units, though it is a different kind of product.
What is the best free alternative to Landlord Studio?
Stessa Essentials and Baselane Core, both $0/mo with no published unit cap, and Azibo, which has no monthly fee for landlords at any size. Landlord Studio's own Go plan is free but caps at three units, so these are the options if the unit count is what pushed you off the free tier.
Do any of these compute depreciation?
Landlord Studio's pricing page does not state a depreciation schedule, and neither do Stessa's, Azibo's or RentRedi's. Baselane lists cost segregation on its $20/mo Smart plan. rents.ai computes residential depreciation from cost basis, land value and in-service date on the 27.5-year mid-month convention and reports it on Schedule E line 18.
If the gap is the tax return, look at ours.
