Overview: Quickbooks vs Landlord Studio

Rental property accounting and management doesn’t have to be a hassle. But with QuickBooks it often is.

Getting set up to manage multiple properties is complicated on QuickBooks and easy to make a mess of.

Plus, QuickBooks lacks the time-saving property management functionality that purpose-built software like Landlord Studio comes with.

Keith M

Ohio, USA

“My dad’s 75 and has over 20 units – Airbnbs, apartments and commercial. We needed a software to help us and Landlord Studio’s been the one. It’s made it so easy for him.”

Kelly W

Chicago, USA

"I tested out several other programs before purchasing Landlord Studio and I'm very happy with it so far. One of my favorite features is the ability to just snap a picture of a receipt and put it in the correct rental unit expense."

Steven G

London, UK

“Never used software before and was worried, but Landlord Studio has been brilliant. Easy to add properties, simple to use — even my accountant loves it.”

Leanne F

Tallahassee, USA

"Managing 20 rentals alone was overwhelming, but Landlord Studio became my one-stop shop. It simplified bookkeeping, rent, leases, and taxes — even my CPA loves it."

Damian L

Hobart, AU

"Landlord Studio makes property management effortless – tracks rent, expenses & tenant comms. Great for 1 or many properties, my accountant loves it too.”

Katie T

London, UK

"We were looking for an app to help us stay on top of everything, including the maintenance and everything in between. Landlord Studio has been great for that."

Rinda I

North Carolina, USA

"I found Landlord Studio so much easier to understand after I looked at AppFolio, RentRedi, and Buildium. All three of them were so hard to understand."

Elizabeth R

Colorado, USA

"It has been an excellent way of tracking expenses all in one app. I had considered using AppFolio, but that was too complicated for me."

Steven M

Nashville, USA

“I looked at Doorloop, RentRedi, and Appfolio and they all offer the same features, but the customer support was the absolute best on Landlord Studio.”

Federico F

Harringay, UK

"I have chosen a Landlord Studio after going through several tools online. It's also reasonably priced which I like."
