Making Your Decision

When to Choose TenantCloud

Solo landlords and small-portfolio owners who want the lowest possible monthly cost with a modern, all-in-one platform

TenantCloud is the budget entry point for property management software, offering a surprisingly complete feature set at $15/month. The trade-off is lease-count caps and lack of team seats on lower tiers, which means growing landlords will hit upgrade thresholds quickly.

Strengths

  • Lowest entry price for a full-featured property management platform at $15/month
  • Unlimited properties and units on all plans — only lease count varies by tier
  • Comprehensive feature set including screening, rent collection, maintenance, and listing syndication
  • QuickBooks Online sync and bank reconciliation available on Pro tier

Limitations

  • Lease limits per tier (Starter: 10, Growth: 30, Pro: 60) force upgrades as you grow
  • No team member seats on the Starter plan — solo landlords only on the cheapest tier
  • Tight storage limits on lower tiers (1 GB on Starter) can be restrictive

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
