Landlord Studio Review (2026): Pricing, Fees, and Who It's Really For

Landlord Studio has three plans. Go is free for up to 3 units with one user and core listing, screening, rent collection, and manual expense tracking. Pro is $12/month ($144 billed annually, a 20% saving) and covers 3 units plus $1/month per additional unit, adding automated bank feeds, Xero integration, Schedule E and other advanced reports, and 250-document storage. Pro Plus is $28/month (annual price shown on their pricing page) with the same 3-units-plus-$1-per-extra-unit model, adding up to 10 users, unlimited document storage, 20 bank feeds, and a dedicated account manager; Pro comes with a 14-day free trial.

The Go plan is free for up to 3 units and includes listing syndication, tenant screening, online rent collection, and manual income and expense tracking. Go is capped at 3 units and a single user, expense tracking is manual (no bank feeds), storage is limited to 10 documents, reports are basic with PDF-only export, and rent payments still carry the per-transaction fee starting at $2.50.

Online rent payments carry a fee starting at $2.50 per transaction, which the landlord can pass on to the tenant or absorb. Tenants can pay by ACH or credit card, and Landlord Studio says most payments transfer to the landlord within 3-5 business days.

Tenant screening runs TransUnion reports from $45, available on all plans including the free Go tier. Landlord Studio's pricing page lists it as paid by the tenant, though it notes reports can be paid by tenants or landlords.

• Strongest accounting focus in its class for small landlords: automated bank feeds, AI-assisted bookkeeping, receipt scanning, mileage tracking, Xero integration, and Schedule E tax-ready reports.
• A genuinely usable free plan for landlords with up to 3 units, including listings, screening, and online rent collection.
• Cheap scaling on paid plans — $12/month covers 3 units and each additional unit adds only $1/month.
• Well-regarded mobile apps let landlords log expenses, scan receipts, and track rent on the go.
• Broad feature coverage for the price, including listing syndication to sites like Zillow, a tenant portal, maintenance requests, and e-signatures, with 80,000+ landlords using the platform.

• Rent payouts are slow relative to some competitors — Landlord Studio's own site says most payments transfer in 3-5 business days, and reviewers report up to 5-7 days to reach the bank.
• Online rent collection carries a fee starting at $2.50 per transaction even on paid plans, unless passed to the tenant.
• Users commonly report that maintenance and vendor management is thin — there is no full workflow for assigning jobs to vendors beyond notes-style tracking.
• Reviewers cite limited detail in some reports and rigid lease editing, such as difficulty changing lease start and end dates or ending leases early.

Self-managing landlords with roughly 1-10 units whose biggest pain is bookkeeping and tax time — the Schedule E reports, bank feeds, and receipt capture are the core of the product. The free Go plan is a strong fit for landlords with 3 or fewer units who want basic digital tools at no cost.

Who should look elsewhere: Landlords who want hands-off management services, robust maintenance and vendor workflows, or instant rent payouts, and larger operators who need full property-management-grade tooling rather than an accounting-led toolkit.

Landlord Studio's free tier for up to 3 units is honest value, and its accounting and tax reporting are the strongest part of the product. The gaps are operational — users commonly report thin maintenance and vendor workflows, and payouts take 5–7 days. If bookkeeping is the job you're hiring software for, Landlord Studio or Stessa are strong picks. If you need the whole tenancy managed — rent, maintenance, leases, portal — that's the job Vantric is built for.
