Landlord Vision and Tenarize
Landlord Vision has been around for years. What would I be giving up, or gaining?
Landlord Vision is one of the longest-established UK landlord products, and it is strongest where it started: the books. Full MTD functionality on every plan, deep accounting, and a UK support team.
The comparison that matters is not feature counts, it is what you get at the price you would actually pay. Landlord Vision prices by number of tenancies and gates features by tier; Tenarize prices by number of properties and every plan is the same product.
Everything below was read off Landlord Vision's own website on 15 September 2026. Prices change — check theirs before deciding. England only — Scotland and Wales are different regimes.
What Landlord Vision does that Tenarize does not
None of this is a setup for a counter-argument. If these are the things that matter most to you, the rest of this page will not change your mind, and it should not.
Accounting depth, and MTD filing on every plan
This is the product's centre of gravity and has been for years. Their site states full MTD functionality at no extra cost on every tier. Tenarize does not file with HMRC at all — it pushes figures into FreeAgent and produces reports.
It scales past where Tenarize stops
Enterprise covers 25 tenancies with per-tenancy overage above that, and their pages describe local authorities managing housing stock. Tenarize is built for one to twenty properties and does not pretend to serve a housing association.
A long track record
They have been doing this a great deal longer than we have. Tenarize opened signups on 27 August 2026, and there is no version of that fact that sounds better with a different adjective on it.
A two-week trial with no card conversation
Every plan carries a free trial. Tenarize gives a month free but takes a card up front, which some people would rather not do before they have looked around.
Tenarize and Landlord Vision, as published
What each company says on its own website. Not a verdict, and not a feature count — a record of two price lists and two sets of claims on one date.

On Tenarize not having a free tier
There is no free tier, and that is deliberate. All three plans are the same product — the same compliance tracking, the same tenant portal, the same inventories, the same e-signed agreements, the same audit trail, the same support. The only thing the price changes is how many properties it covers.
A free tier is a smaller version of a product, and a landlord with one property would be on the smaller version permanently. Tenarize is built for one to twenty properties, so one property is the size it was designed around rather than the size it tolerates. What replaces a free tier here is a month free and a full refund inside three months if no tenancy is active.
Where the two differ
Read off landlordvision.co.uk on 15 September 2026. Where it says not advertised, that is what their public pages did or did not claim.
The entry tier costs more and includes less
Their Starter is £23.96 including VAT for four tenancies, and by their own pricing table it carries neither the tenant portal nor e-signatures — both begin at Standard, which is £41.96 including VAT. Work orders begin higher still, at Premium.
Tenarize is £15 for one to five properties with no VAT added, and all three plans are the same product. The tenant portal, e-signing, maintenance tracking, inventories and the audit trail are in the price at every tier, because there is no smaller version of it.
Tenancies, not properties
Pricing by tenancy is a meaningful difference if you let by room. An HMO with five rooms on individual agreements is five tenancies, and the tier maths changes accordingly.
Tenarize prices by property and supports room-by-room HMO letting as one property, with six additional HMO checklist items — licence in force, fire risk assessment, manager's details and the rest.
No inventory, and no supplier list
Neither appears anywhere on their public pages. For a deposit dispute the inventory is the evidence, and for a lapsing gas certificate the supplier list is what turns a reminder into a booked visit.
Room-by-room inventories with photographs signed by both sides, and a searchable list of real local tradespeople found via Google, filtered by category and mapped to your properties — with the renewal bookable straight from the expiry reminder.
When Landlord Vision is the better choice
There is a version of this page that leaves this section out. It would be a worse page, and you would find all of it out later anyway.
Accounting is the main event
If you want one product that does the books properly and files your MTD, they have been building that for years and Tenarize has not. Buying Tenarize hoping it will replace an accounting package will disappoint you.
More than twenty properties
Tenarize's top tier covers twenty, then adds £1 a month per property beyond. Landlord Vision's Enterprise tier and their local-authority positioning are aimed at portfolios Tenarize is not built around.
Scotland or Wales
Tenarize is England only and does not hedge on it. Their site does not state a geographic restriction.
You would rather buy from an established company
A reasonable thing to want when the product is holding records you may need at a tribunal. What is checkable about Tenarize today: payments run on Stripe, e-signatures on BoldSign, 134 help-centre answers published, and a full data export is one click away if you leave.
Answers, in plain terms
Which is cheaper?
At the entry tier, Tenarize: £15 with no VAT for one to five properties, against £19.97 plus VAT — £23.96 — for four tenancies. Above that it depends on shape, because they price by tenancy and Tenarize by property. The clearer difference is what the entry price includes: their tenant portal and e-signatures start at the tier above, which is £41.96 including VAT.
Does Tenarize file my MTD return like Landlord Vision does?
No. Landlord Vision includes MTD on every plan. Tenarize pushes rent and costs into FreeAgent nightly, split by property, and FreeAgent is HMRC-recognised and files. FreeAgent is the only provider supported. If in-product filing matters to you, that is a real point for them.
I let by room. Does the pricing difference matter?
It can. Landlord Vision's tiers count tenancies, so a five-room HMO on individual agreements consumes five. Tenarize counts properties, and a room-by-room let is one property with six extra HMO items on its compliance checklist.
What can Tenarize show at a deposit dispute that Landlord Vision does not advertise?
A room-by-room inventory with photographs, signed by both sides at move-in and move-out, and an audit trail per tenancy exported for the hearing. Their site mentions an audit trail in the context of local authority housing stock but does not list it as a feature by plan.
A month free, and your existing tenancies come with you
"Import existing tenancy" skips the vetting you already did years ago and keeps the certificates, which are the part worth carrying across. £15 a month for one to five properties, no commission on rent, and a full refund inside three months if no tenancy is active.
