Alphaletz alternatives for UK landlords (2026)

Alphaletz tracks rent, expenses, documents and tasks with connected bank accounts and a mobile app. It is not on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital finder, and tenancy agreements and notices are not listed on its pricing page. Below are six alternatives and LetCompliance, each with its own published prices and records. LetCompliance publishes this page and lists itself first; the others follow A to Z.

The alternatives

The alternatives to Alphaletz, with their records

LetCompliance first, as the publisher’s own software, then the others A to Z. Each one is described from its own site, with its cost a month at 1, 5 and 10 properties, its listing on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital finder and its company on Companies House.

01

LetCompliance

Listed first: the publisher’s own software
Get started
Pricing
Plans are one price for each size of portfolio, never a charge per property, a month: £7.99 for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number. No VAT is added. Every new landlord account starts with a 3-day trial and no card.
Why it is first
LetCompliance publishes this page and lists itself first, as its own product. That is the publisher’s view, not a neutral test: every other product is described from its own site, with the date it was read, and they follow A to Z.

For a landlord leaving Alphaletz, LetCompliance runs the let as well as recording it: adverts and referencing, the tenancy signed online, rent collected by Direct Debit, Section 8 and Section 13 notices, and Making Tax Digital quarterly updates sent to HMRC for UK property income.

What it runs

  • Lettings in one place: adverts, applications and viewings, and a credit-backed reference ordered from the tenancy for £24.99, or £19.99 for a guarantor.
  • The tenancy agreement built for the rules since 1 May 2026 and signed online, with the move-in pack and the deposit’s Prescribed Information.
  • Rent collected by Direct Debit into your own Stripe account, on paid plans and the trial. No commission is taken on the rent. Stripe charges 1% of each Direct Debit payment with a 20p minimum and a £4 cap, and £5 for a disputed payment.
  • Repairs reported by tenants through a portal with no app and no password, each on a response clock, with inspections, and inventories on paid plans and the trial.
  • Section 8 and Section 13 notices on Forms 3A and 4A, and the possession tracker, on every paid plan.
  • Making Tax Digital quarterly updates for UK property income sent to HMRC, with the SA105 tax pack, on every paid plan.
  • Certificates tracked with reminders, and a 0 to 100 score for each property.

What it does not do

  • It has no Open Banking bank feed: bank statements are uploaded as a CSV and matched line by line.
  • It has no Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket feed: adverts are public on its own to-let pages or by link, with the text and photos ready to post elsewhere.
  • It has no App Store or Google Play app: it runs in the phone’s browser.
  • Its Making Tax Digital covers UK property income only, for the landlord’s own return, on paid plans, not the free plan or the trial.

Switching from Alphaletz

Switching from Alphaletz to LetCompliance

There is no automatic transfer from Alphaletz: the move is a spreadsheet and your own files, and the steps below take it in order. The tenancies themselves carry on as they are.

  1. Take your records out of Alphaletz. Alphaletz lets you export reports and statements as PDF or a spreadsheet (read 6 October 2026). Export the income and expenses for this tax year and the last, per property.
  2. Bring the portfolio in from one spreadsheet. Open Properties, choose Import and upload a spreadsheet saved as CSV: one row per tenant, or per room for an HMO, with the address, town and postcode. Rent, deposit, certificate, licence, insurance and mortgage details come in if the sheet has them. Columns it does not recognise are listed back to you by name, and importing the same sheet again updates what is there instead of adding it twice. The import guide lists every column.
  3. Add the certificates and documents. Drop the certificate files in as a batch and the dates are read from each one, for you to check. Upload signed agreements and other documents to each property.
  4. Move the rent to Direct Debit. If your tenants pay through Alphaletz, set up Direct Debit in LetCompliance and send each tenant the mandate link, then cancel the old arrangement so nobody pays twice. No commission is taken on the rent. Stripe charges 1% of each Direct Debit payment with a 20p minimum and a £4 cap, and £5 for a disputed payment.
  5. Start Making Tax Digital from the same records. Alphaletz is not on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital finder (read 24 October 2026). If you are in Making Tax Digital, LetCompliance sends the quarterly updates for UK property income from the records that run the let, on every paid plan, not the free plan or the trial. Each update covers the tax year so far, so bring this tax year’s bank statements in as CSV first.
  6. Send your tenants their portal links. Send portal links to every tenant without one, 20 at a click. Each tenant gets a link of their own, with no app and no password, for rent, repairs, messages and documents. The tenancy itself carries on as it is.

What comes across

  • Properties, HMO rooms and tenants, from one CSV.
  • Tenancy dates, the rent and how often it is due, and the deposit details.
  • Certificate, licence, insurance and mortgage dates.
  • Certificates, signed agreements and other documents, uploaded to each property.
  • This tax year’s money, from bank statements saved as CSV, on paid plans and the trial.

What stays with Alphaletz

  • Its connected bank accounts: LetCompliance matches statements you upload rather than reading a live feed.
  • Past rent payments: the import takes the current rent, not a ledger of past payments, so keep Alphaletz’s export with your records.
  • Anything automatic: there is no transfer from Alphaletz to LetCompliance, only your spreadsheet and your files.

Method

How these were compared

  1. Prices: each provider’s own pricing page, read on 24 October 2026 between 16:06 and 16:20 UK time, for the round-ups on this site. The cost at 1, 5 and 10 properties is worked out from the published price and the charge for each extra unit, tenancy or lease, counting one property as one of each, with VAT as each page states it.
  2. Making Tax Digital: HMRC’s software finder, the official list, read the same day. The quarterly update and tax return statuses are HMRC’s own labels in its results for UK property income; a product not on the finder is marked “Not listed”.
  3. Company: Companies House, the official UK register, for the company each provider names on its own pages, by name and number.
  4. What each product does: its own website, pricing and help pages, read on the date given under each entry for the comparisons and round-ups on this site. Only what its own pages say is written here; nothing was bought or tried, so this is a desk comparison, not a hands-on trial.
  5. LetCompliance publishes these pages and lists itself first. Its prices come from its own plan list and its listing from the same HMRC finder.

Yes, by Bacs Direct Debit through Stripe into your own account, with no commission taken; Alphaletz offers GoCardless Direct Debit through its marketplace (read 6 October 2026). Moving tenants across means each one authorises a new mandate in LetCompliance; cancel the old one so nobody pays twice.

Bring a let across

Bring your Alphaletz portfolio across in one spreadsheet

From £7.99 a month for one property. Properties, rooms, tenants, rents and certificate dates come in from one CSV, and the let runs in one place from there: the advert and the applicants, the tenancy and its signatures, the rent and the arrears, the repairs, the notices and the tax figures.
