The best MTD software for landlords, in our selector’s order
Which MTD software should a landlord choose?
With rental income and no other answers, our selector puts Landlord Studio, PaTMa Property Manager and Quarterwise first of the 40 products it keeps for landlords, and each of the three has a free plan for landlords. We checked these prices between 12 September and 3 November 2026, and because your own answers can change the order quite a lot, the full order gives every product’s plan, price and check date.
“Best” on this page means one thing: the order our selector gives when you tell it you have rental income and nothing else yet. Of the 46 products we compare, it keeps 40 for landlords, and it lists them by how well each one fits that kind of income first, then by price, then by name. No provider pays for a place, and payment plays no part in the order, which comes from the selector’s rules alone.
Your own answers can change that order quite a lot, because the selector asks up to ten questions about how you let and how you earn. If you have a few minutes, answering them in the selector gives a shortlist for your own setup rather than for landlords in general. Each price here is the cheapest plan the selector would show landlords, with the day we checked it on the provider’s own site.
The facts on this page come from each provider’s own pages and from HMRC’s software list, and how we compare products explains how we check them.
If price matters most to you, the same products are listed from the lowest checked price on cheapest MTD software for landlords.
