Lettings software pricing is a transparency desert: most of the well-known CRMs sell by demo and publish nothing. This list is by stage and names figures only where a vendor’s own UK page published one on 4 September 2026. No link pays Whito anything.
Small agent, small book
Under about fifty units, discipline beats platforms: a spreadsheet register, calendar reminders for gas safety and EPC dates, the deposit scheme’s own tools, and accounts in Xero from £18 a month or FreeAgent at £19, free with a NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank or Mettle business account. The compliance stack itself, CMP, redress, deposit scheme, is the software that matters at this stage, and its published costs are in our lettings versus sales guide.
Growing book: the two that publish prices
| Tool | Published UK price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Arthur (property management) | £82.50 to £126 a month at entry unit tiers | priced per unit band, annual billing, read 4 Sep 2026 |
| PayProp (client accounting) | licence from £79 a month, setup £600 to £2,000, service fee under 1% of processing | partial pricing published, quote completes it |
| Xero | from £18 a month | accounts |
The unpublished majority: Goodlord’s pricing page was a demo form, Street.co.uk and Alto published no figures, all checked 4 September 2026. That does not make them bad tools; it makes them unquotable here, and it means you should walk into any demo with the published numbers above as your anchor. Only 9 of 27 business software vendors published a real pound price in our August 2026 read of every live pricing page; lettings software is worse than average.
What to buy for
Three tests, in order: does it keep you compliant without heroics, statements, deposit deadlines, gas and electrical dates; does it make the landlord statement something you would happily show a prospect; and does it cut the admin hours per tenancy that cap your book’s growth. Marketing features come last: the marketing problems in lettings, proof display and explainer content, are website problems, not CRM ones.
Who this isn’t for: the big agency CRMs are not for a small agent who cannot shortlist without a price; none publishes one. And the published pair are not for you if compliance is not the pain; their value is statements and deadlines, not marketing.
Common questions
What software do UK letting agents use?
Of vendors publishing UK prices on 4 September 2026: Arthur from £82.50 a month at its entry unit tier for property management, PayProp from £79 a month plus setup for client accounting, and Xero from £18 for accounts. Most big agency CRMs publish no prices.
Why do letting agent CRMs not publish prices?
Demo-led sales lets vendors price by negotiation. Walk in anchored on the published figures that do exist, and get feed, setup and per-unit costs in writing.
Does Whito earn commission on these tools?
No. Nothing here is an affiliate link and no vendor has paid to appear. Tools are named with figures only where a UK price was readable on the vendor’s own page on the date shown.
