Overview: TurboTenant vs Landlord Studio

Both Landlord Studio and TurboTenant cover the property management basics, but they price and package accounting very differently.

TurboTenant is built around tenant acquisition. Its free tier covers listings, online applications, screening, and rent collection, which works well if your top priority is finding and onboarding tenants. Accounting is available, but only as a separate additional paid add-on that charges per unit.

Landlord Studio is one end-to-end platform. You get the property management essentials (listings, screening, rent collection, lease tracking, maintenance) plus full accounting included in PRO. Bank feeds, AI-powered categorization, receipt scanning, GPS mileage tracking, and tax-ready reports come standard, so your books stay clean as your portfolio grows without stacking subscriptions.

“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

“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

"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

"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

Who's Landlord Studio Best For?

Tailored for landlords and property managers, Landlord Studio is a user-friendly software which offers a seamless approach to real estate accounting and property management. From automated rent collection to advanced tax reporting.

Pricing: GO (Free for up to 3 units), Pro ($12/mo), Pro Plus ($28/mo)
Features: Collect rent online, financial reports, real estate accounting, listings
Best Suited For: Self managing landlords with small-medium portfolios.
Key Advantage: Full-featured, user-friendly interface, and affordable pricing.

Who's TurboTenant Best For?

TurboTenant is built for independent landlords focused on tenant acquisition and rent collection. It handles the listing-to-lease workflow well, but accounting sits behind a separate per-unit subscription that gets more expensive as you scale.

Pricing: Free plan available. Pro at $9.92/mo and Premium at $12.42/mo (both billed annually). Accounting is a separate add-on starting at $15/mo for the first unit, plus $5/mo per additional unit, capped at $85/mo.
Features: Listings, applications, tenant screening, rent collection, lease creation, and maintenance tracking. Integrated accounting requires the separate subscription.
Best Suited For: Landlords with small portfolios who want a generous free tier and prioritize tenant acquisition over financial reporting.
Key Advantage: Strong free tier for marketing rentals and processing applications. The trade-off is fragmented billing and a financial reporting tool that scales in cost with your portfolio.
