Landlord software compared: Hammock, Landlord Vision, Rentalize

Hammock and Landlord Vision are accounting tools for individual landlords, and both say they file Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax returns on every plan. Rentalize is a property management platform for letting agents and larger portfolios, priced from £169 a month, and it does not file MTD returns itself. This page compares the three on each provider’s own published pricing, checked on 6 November 2026, listed alphabetically.

Quick comparison

The three products serve different users, so start with who each one is for.

Prices change often. Check the provider’s page before you sign up.

Hammock prices

Hammock prices by number of properties. Its pricing page listed these plans, all plus VAT, on 6 November 2026.

Annual billing gives 20% off, so Basic costs £76.80 a year instead of £96. Hammock asks Beyond users to confirm their property count for a final price.

Every plan includes bank feeds, bookkeeping, HMO support, MTD quarterly updates and the MTD final declaration, plus email and phone support.

Landlord Vision prices

Landlord Vision prices by active tenancies rather than properties. A tenancy counts once however many tenants it has, and archived tenancies do not count.

Its pricing page showed these figures, excluding VAT, on 6 November 2026:

The Starter plan also showed £19.97 and £21.97, which appear to be the full monthly prices. Extra tenancies cost £1.10, £1.30 or £1.50 each on Standard, Premium and Enterprise. A yearly option saves 15%.

The page did not clearly label monthly and yearly prices, and the Standard price did not display. Confirm the figure with Landlord Vision before you buy. Every plan includes MTD for Income Tax, a 2-week free trial and an onboarding call.

Rentalize prices

Rentalize is a property management platform for Ireland and the UK. Its website lists Rentalize Core in euros with UK prices alongside:

Enterprise is priced to your portfolio, and annual billing gives two months free. Rentalize did not say whether UK prices include VAT.

Rentalize states that MTD filing is not in its product today. It keeps rent and expense records that you can export as a CSV into HMRC-recognised software, which means you would need a second product to file.

Do you need MTD-compatible software?

You need MTD-compatible software if your qualifying income from self-employment and property is over the threshold. HMRC’s eligibility guidance, updated 26 March 2026, sets the dates:

Check any product against HMRC’s software finder before you rely on it. Our guide to MTD for Income Tax for landlords explains quarterly updates, and MTD software requirements covers what the software must do.

Which suits you?

• If you own a handful of properties and need to file MTD, compare Hammock and Landlord Vision; both include MTD filing on every plan.
• If you count tenancies more easily than properties, Landlord Vision’s tenancy-based pricing may be simpler to forecast.
• If you run a letting agency or manage 25 or more homes for clients, Rentalize is aimed at you, but you will need separate MTD software.
• If your income is under £20,000, you are not yet required to use MTD; a spreadsheet may be enough for now.

What to do now

1. Work out your qualifying income with our MTD £30,000 threshold guide.
2. Count your properties and tenancies, since that sets the plan.
3. Use the free trial to connect your bank and test a quarterly update.
4. Estimate your tax bill with the rental income tax calculator.
