What makes LandlordApp different

Most of the UK market is built for whole-property landlords. We're built for the people who run rooms — and the people who run properties they don't own.

🛏️

Per-room rent tracking

Track 6 different tenants in 6 different rooms with 6 different rent dates and 6 different deposit schemes. Every other tool treats this as an edge case; we treat it as the default.

LandlordAppCoho
🏦

Landlord payments (R2R)

Built-in workflow for paying the property owner separately from collecting tenant rent. Track margin per property, generate landlord statements, automate monthly payouts.

A closer look at each one

Honest takes — what each tool does well, and where it falls short for HMO / R2R operators specifically.

Coho
From ~£8–10/room/mo
coho.life

Where it wins

  • Most HMO-native UI of any UK competitor
  • Deep room-level licence + fire safety tracking
  • Strong tenant onboarding flow

Where it loses

  • Per-room pricing punishes scale — 6-room HMO is ~£60/mo before any other features
  • R2R landlord-payment workflow weaker than ours
  • No deal analyser, no public listings page
Arthur Online
From £65/mo
arthuronline.co.uk

Where it wins

  • Deep ecosystem — Xero/QuickBooks/Sage already wired
  • Mature mobile apps for tenants & contractors
  • Established, well-documented platform

Where it loses

  • Generic property-mgmt — HMO room-level is an add-on, not native
  • £150–250/mo for typical HMO portfolio sizes
  • R2R landlord payments are manual journals
Landlord Vision
From £14/mo
landlordvision.co.uk

Where it wins

  • Strong tax / self-assessment workflows
  • Cheapest serious entry point on the market
  • Good for whole-property single-let landlords

Where it loses

  • HMO room-level is awkward — splits arrive as workarounds
  • No R2R landlord-payment workflow
  • UI showing its age in 2026
Hammock
From £14/mo
usehammock.com

Where it wins

  • Best-in-class Open Banking feed + auto-reconciliation
  • Beautiful modern UI, fast onboarding
  • Strong financial reporting for accountants

Where it loses

  • Whole-property only — no HMO room granularity
  • No tenant management workflow (rent chasing, agreements)
  • Built for landlords with banks, not operators with portfolios
PaTMa
From £19/mo
patma.co.uk

Where it wins

  • Strong UK regulatory updates (Section 21, EICR, Right-to-Rent)
  • Property-deal sourcing tool (separate product) is well-regarded
  • Useful if you already use their sourcing tool — same login

Where it loses

  • Property-mgmt UI feels secondary to their sourcing tool
  • HMO support is thin compared to Coho or LandlordApp
  • No native R2R landlord-payment workflow
GoTenant
From £10/mo
gotenant.com

Where it wins

  • Built for letting agents managing landlord portfolios
  • Tenant referencing + AML built in
  • Strong fit if you charge landlords for management services

Where it loses

  • If you're an operator (not an agent), the UX adds friction
  • HMO + R2R workflows not the focus
  • No public listings / vacancy page for marketing rooms

Where competitors genuinely win — and how we close the gap

No tool is best at everything. Here's the honest truth about what we don't yet do as well as the alternatives, and what we're doing about it.

🏦 Hammock Banking

Hammock's Open Banking integration auto-matches rent payments to tenants — no manual reconciliation. We currently use bank-statement CSV import.

What we're doing: Open Banking integration is on the roadmap for the next major release. Until then, the CSV import handles £100k+/month portfolios cleanly.

🔌 Arthur Integrations

Arthur has direct Xero / QuickBooks / Sage sync. We have CSV exports formatted for each, but no live two-way sync yet.

What we're doing: Accountancy export covers Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent today via the Reports → Accounting Export menu. Native sync is on the roadmap behind Open Banking.

📑 Vision Tax

Landlord Vision's self-assessment workflows are more mature than ours — purpose-built for the January HMRC deadline.

What we're doing: Our P&L and expense reports map cleanly to SA105. Most users send the export to their accountant rather than file directly.

🛡️ Coho HMO depth

Coho's room-level licence + fire-safety drill scheduling is more granular than ours.

What we're doing: Compliance docs + expiry alerts are built in. Fire-drill scheduling is on the roadmap; current users handle it via the recurring-maintenance feature.
