Your first property is free, for good.
Every feature included. After that you pay per property, and never more than £50 a month.
First property 100% free forever. No credit card required.
The rates
| Property 1 | Free |
|---|---|
| Properties 2–3 | £5 each / month |
| Properties 4–10 | £4 each / month |
| Properties 11–14 | £3 each / month |
| Property 15 onwards | Free |
Prices are per property, per month. An HMO counts as one property.
Your first property is free for good, so the billing choice only matters once you have a second.
What the price is set against
Maximum penalties for four of the obligations LetBuddy tracks, each with its government source.
- 1–3×the deposit
Protecting a deposit, and serving the prescribed information, within 30 days Source
- 2 yearsof rent
Licensing, and the other breaches a rent repayment order can follow Source
- £40,000civil penalty
Keeping an in-date electrical installation report, and giving it to the tenant Source
- £7k–£40kcivil penalty
Registering on the PRS Database, and the new duties under the Renters' Rights Act Source
A capped year of LetBuddy is £500, whatever the size of the portfolio. Next to one deposit penalty on a £1,200 deposit, or a rent repayment order on one tenancy, it isn't the number that decides anything.
LetBuddy doesn't stop a penalty. It helps when you did comply and have to prove it two years later to a council officer or a judge, from a record kept at the time rather than one assembled afterwards.
What the rate already includes
The per-property rate above is the whole cost of using LetBuddy. These are the things other landlord software commonly charges separately for; here they are in the rate, on the free property too.
Bank statement import and matching
£0 extraImport a statement from your online banking and match it against rent due or expenses. No surcharge, no per-connection fee, no cap on statements.
Extra users on your account
£0 extraAdd your partner, your letting agent, or your accountant as a team member with their own login. We bill for properties, not seats, so a second user costs nothing.
Document storage
£0 extraCertificates, tenancy agreements, invoices, photos. No storage tier, no per-gigabyte overage, no archiving fee.
The case builder and the ICR health check
£0 extraThe two things most likely to be sold as a premium module elsewhere are on every account, including the free one.
Setup, onboarding, and support
£0 extraNo implementation fee and no priority-support tier. Everyone gets the same inbox and the same response times, on the free property and on the fiftieth.
Getting your data back out
£0 extraExport your records at any time, including on the way out. Data is not held hostage to a subscription.

Read the full promise, including where it stops →Five questions to ask any landlord software
Including us. Headline prices in this market are rarely the whole bill, and the gap usually shows up in the same few places.
- 01Is there a separate charge for connecting a bank account or importing statements?
- 02Does adding your accountant or a second user cost extra per seat?
- 03Which features sit behind the higher tier, and would you need them within a year?
- 04Is the tenancy count or property count what drives the price, and what happens when one changes mid-year?
- 05If they raise prices, does your rate move too, and how much notice do you get?
Common questions
Is there a free plan for landlords with one property?
Yes. Your first property is free permanently, with every feature and no card. There's no trial clock and nothing held back. A landlord with one property can use LetBuddy indefinitely without paying anything.
What happens when I add a second property?
It asks you to save a payment method, and billing starts from then, for the properties beyond the first only. The free one stays free. There's no trial period on top, because you've already had one: your first property gave you the whole product for as long as you've had it. Your first property never asks for a card, however long you stay on one.
Does LetBuddy charge per user?
No. Pricing is by the number of active properties only. Adding your partner, your staff, your letting agent or your accountant costs nothing extra, and each can be restricted to the properties you name.
Is there a limit on how many properties I can manage?
No, and there's no larger edition to move up to. The same account runs one property or several hundred, your own or managed for other landlords, with every feature on from the start. The per-property rate falls as the portfolio grows and then stops: nothing from property 15 upwards is charged, so the bill is £50 a month (£500 a year) at that size and at every size above it. Users are unlimited and free at every size, each limited to the properties you choose, and properties can be grouped into portfolios.
How is an HMO counted?
As one property, however many rooms it has. Each room runs as its own tenancy — its own tenant, rent, deposit and reporting link — on the one property, and the property is what the bill counts. A five-room HMO is one property on the invoice and five tenancies in the ledger.
Will my price go up if LetBuddy raises its prices?
No. Existing subscribers keep the per-property rates in force when they subscribed, for as long as their subscription stays continuously active. A published increase applies to new subscribers only.
You've read the prices. The first one is still free.
Nothing above applies until you have a second property. One property, every feature, no card, no expiry — so there is nothing to weigh up yet and nothing to cancel if you decide against it.
