Landlord Studio and Leasily are both aimed at independent landlords managing a small portfolio. They overlap on the basics — rent tracking, tenant management, payment history — but they're built differently and priced differently.
Here's an honest comparison.
Who they're built for
Landlord Studio was built primarily for UK and Australian landlords. It has strong mobile app experience, decent accounting features, and a well-established user base. It's been around since 2014 and has matured into a fairly full-featured platform.
Leasily is built for European landlords — particularly in the EU, with specific focus on markets like Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and the UK. It's newer, simpler, and built around the idea that most landlords don't need powerful accounting software — they need the boring stuff (reminders, tracking, tenant portals) to happen automatically.
Features comparison
Rent tracking
Both tools track rent payments with status (paid, pending, overdue) and payment history.
Leasily adds automatic reminder emails — 3 days before due date and again when overdue — without any configuration. Landlord Studio has reminder functionality but it requires more manual setup.
Tenant management
Both let you store tenant contact details, lease dates, and documents.
Leasily gives each tenant a private portal — a unique link they can use to view their payment history, lease summary, and documents without logging in. Landlord Studio doesn't have an equivalent feature in its standard plans.
Expense tracking
Landlord Studio has stronger expense tracking and accounting features — it's designed with tax reporting in mind and integrates with accounting workflows.
Leasily tracks expenses by category (maintenance, insurance, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and generates a PDF income report, which covers what most small landlords need for their accountant.
Mortgage tracking
Leasily includes mortgage/loan tracking — you can record your mortgage details, track monthly repayments, and link them to a property. Landlord Studio handles this through its accounting module.
Team features
Leasily has a Teams plan that allows you to add co-owners, managers, accountants, and read-only users — with role-based access and an audit log. Useful if you manage properties with a partner or use an external accountant.
Landlord Studio has multi-user features on higher-tier plans.
Tenant portal
Leasily: yes, included. Every tenant gets a private link showing their balance, payment history, and documents. No login required.
Landlord Studio: not included in standard plans.
Pricing
Landlord Studio:
- Free plan: 1 property, limited features
- Go plan: ~$12/month (approximately €11)
- Pro plan: ~$24/month (approximately €22)
- Pricing scales per property unit on higher plans
Leasily:
- Free until July 2026 for all new users (full Pro features, no credit card)
- Pro plan: €9/month after July 2026, locked in forever for early users
- Teams plan: €49/month
If you sign up for Leasily now, you get full Pro features free for over a year — and the price locks at €9/month after that regardless of future price increases.
Who should use Landlord Studio
- Landlords who want a mature, established platform
- UK or Australian landlords who want deep accounting integration
- Landlords who prefer a strong native mobile app experience
- Those who want to scale to a larger portfolio and need more accounting power
Who should use Leasily
- European landlords (EU, UK) managing 1-20 properties independently
- Landlords who want reminders and tracking to be fully automatic
- Anyone who wants a tenant portal without paying for an enterprise plan
- Landlords who want the simplest possible setup — add property, add tenant, done
- Anyone who wants to lock in a low price before July 2026
The honest summary
Landlord Studio is the safer, more established choice — particularly if you're UK-based and want strong accounting features. It's priced higher but has years of product development behind it.
Leasily is the better choice if you want simplicity and automation at a lower price, particularly if you're in Europe. The tenant portal and automatic reminders are genuinely useful features that Landlord Studio charges more for (or doesn't offer).
If you're managing fewer than 20 properties yourself and don't need complex accounting, Leasily does the job at less than half the price — and it's free right now.
