When to Choose Landlord Studio
Accounting-focused landlords who want automated bookkeeping, bank feed integration, and tax-ready reports
Landlord Studio is the clear winner for landlords whose primary need is financial tracking and tax preparation. Its bank feeds, receipt OCR, and Schedule E generation are more sophisticated than anything else in this price range. It is less of a full PM platform and more of an accounting tool with PM features.
Strengths
- Strongest accounting and tax preparation in the budget tier — automated bank feeds, AI bookkeeping, and one-click Schedule E reports
- Receipt OCR scanning with smart categorization rules eliminates manual expense entry
- Xero integration and export-ready P&L/cash-flow reports for professional accountants
- Free Go plan for up to 3 properties with 14-day Pro trial, no credit card required
Limitations
- Rent collection processing is slow (3-7 business days for deposits)
- Limited tenant communication and self-service portal compared to full PM platforms
- Bank feed integration via Plaid is not compatible with all banks
When to Choose Innago
Small landlords who want a genuinely free, no-strings-attached platform with solid customer support
Innago is the most truly free option in property management software — there are no paid tiers to upsell you into, just optional per-use fees for screening and payments. The trade-off is fewer advanced features and less polish than subscription tools. Its standout is personal customer support at no cost.
Strengths
- 100% free for landlords with no paid tiers — every core feature is available at no cost
- Dedicated personal account representatives and responsive support, even on the free plan
- Full-featured: lease e-signing, maintenance portal, automated payment reminders, and financial reporting
- Unlimited file storage and no property count limits
Limitations
- Limited customization for rental applications and screening questions
- Fewer integrations and less listing syndication reach than TurboTenant or Avail
- Some users report payment processing delays and occasional bugs
