Landlord Studio
Accounting-focused, mobile-first software for DIY landlords.
Overview
Landlord Studio is a mobile-first product for DIY landlords organized around accounting and tax reporting. Alongside income and expense tracking it offers receipt scanning and Schedule E-ready reports, with a free tier for the first three properties and per-unit pricing beyond that.
What makes it different
Where most tools bolt accounting onto a leasing product, Landlord Studio is built the other way around — Schedule E-ready reporting and receipt scanning turn a phone into the bookkeeping system. The consequence is that tax season becomes an export rather than a reconstruction project.
Who it's for
- DIY owners whose biggest headache is annual tax prep
- Landlords who'd rather log expenses from a phone than a desk
- Owners with up to three properties wanting a no-cost start
Who should look elsewhere
- Managers who must give outside owners portal access
- Landlords whose top priority is fast vacancy marketing
Pros
- Strong income/expense tracking and tax (Schedule E) reports
- Receipt scanning and a great mobile app
- Free for the first 3 properties
Cons
- No owner portal; not for PM companies
- Lighter on syndication reach
What users say
Landlord Studio sits around 4.6 on Capterra, and reviewers consistently praise exactly what it's built for: strong income and expense tracking, Schedule E-ready tax reports, handy receipt scanning, and a polished mobile app — with the free first-three-properties tier a frequent plus. The limitations they cite are the missing owner portal and listing reach that's lighter than marketing-first tools.
Pricing
The free tier covers your first 3 properties forever, while PRO ($15/mo) and PRO Plus ($35/mo) each include 3 units and add $1.20 per unit beyond that. Pricing is straightforward with no large minimums, but the per-unit add-on means costs scale with portfolio size. There's no owner portal at any tier.

FAQ
How long is Landlord Studio's free plan good for?
The free tier covers your first 3 properties forever, not just a trial period, so a small landlord under 3 properties can run it at no cost indefinitely.
What happens to the price as I add more than 3 units?
Both paid tiers (PRO at $15/mo, PRO Plus at $35/mo) include 3 units and add $1.20 per unit beyond that. There are no large minimums, but your cost scales gradually with portfolio size.
Is Landlord Studio's accounting good enough for taxes?
Yes — that's its core strength. It offers solid income/expense tracking, Schedule E-ready tax reports and receipt scanning, making tax prep the main reason DIY landlords choose it.
Does Landlord Studio have an owner portal for PM companies?
No — there's no owner portal at any tier, so it isn't built for property management companies reporting to third-party owners. It's a DIY-landlord tool.
Is its listing syndication as strong as dedicated marketing tools?
Syndication exists but reach is lighter than tools built around marketing, so if filling vacancies fast is your priority, pair it with something like Avail or Zillow for listing exposure.
