FAQs

Who is Arthur Online designed for?

Arthur Online is aimed at letting agents, property managers, and large portfolio operators. Its contractor networks, owner portals, and white labelling suit businesses managing properties for clients. Self-managing landlords typically need a fraction of these features at a fraction of the price.

How much does Arthur Online cost?

As of June 2026, Arthur's Standard plan starts at £82.50/month including 55 units (£1.50 per unit), Professional from £96/month, and Enterprise from £126/month, billed annually. Landlord Studio is free for up to 3 properties, with Pro from £12/month plus £1 per additional unit.

Does Arthur Online support Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?

Arthur handles operational finances and integrates with Xero for accounting, but it is not designed for landlords' personal MTD for Income Tax submissions. Landlord Studio is HMRC-recognised MTD software, with quarterly submissions included on its Pro plan from £12/month.

What is the best Arthur Online alternative for self-managing landlords?

Landlord Studio is the leading Arthur alternative for self-managing landlords. It combines property management — tenancies, maintenance, documents, rent reminders — with built-in rental accounting and MTD submissions, starting free for up to 3 properties.

Can Landlord Studio handle larger portfolios?

Yes. Landlord Studio Pro and Pro Plus scale at £1 per unit beyond the first 3, with multi-user access (up to 10 users on Pro Plus), advanced reporting, and priority support — a 50-unit portfolio costs around £59/month versus £82.50+ on Arthur.
