Letted vs Landlord Studio:
different jobs, honestly compared
Letted is an AI property management platform for UK landlords; Landlord Studio is bookkeeping and tax software. One does the management work, the other keeps the books — here's which you actually need.
Letted
That’s us
AI that runs the tenancy — answers tenants, coordinates repairs, tracks rent and compliance. Flat £20 a month for up to 30 properties; first property free.
Landlord Studio
Bookkeeping & tax
Income and expense tracking, receipt scanning, bank feeds, and HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital submissions. Free for up to 3 units; Pro from around £12 a month.
This one isn't really a fight. One tool does the management work; the other records the numbers. The question is which problem you're trying to solve.
The ledger and the operator
The ledger
Landlord Studio is accounting-first: income and expense tracking, receipt scanning, bank feeds, and HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital submissions. At the books, it's genuinely good.
Records vs work
A ledger records what happened. It won't answer the tenant at 9pm, book the plumber, or start the gas safety renewal — that work is still yours.
The operator
Letted is management-first: its AI answers tenants, coordinates repairs, tracks rent through your bank connection, and watches every compliance deadline.
Better together
Plenty of landlords run both — Letted for the day-to-day management, Landlord Studio (or an accountant) for the tax return. They don't overlap much.

Common questions
Yes — Landlord Studio is HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital software, and quarterly digital submissions are one of its strongest features. If MTD filing is your main problem, it's a genuinely good choice. Letted doesn't file taxes; it manages the tenancy itself.
Not in the way an agent or Letted does. Landlord Studio can send automated rent reminders and store tenant details, but conversations — repair reports, questions, complaints — still come to you to handle. Letted's AI answers those messages itself, instantly, and only escalates when a decision is needed.
Yes, and it's a sensible split: Letted runs the day-to-day management (tenant messages, repairs, rent tracking, compliance), while Landlord Studio or your accountant handles bookkeeping and tax. The two tools barely overlap.
It depends on which problem is costing you more. If your pain is the tax return, start with Landlord Studio. If your pain is the workload — tenant messages, chasing contractors, compliance deadlines — that's the work Letted's AI actually takes off your plate, for a flat £20 a month covering up to 30 properties.
