Arthur Online alternatives for UK agents and landlords (2026)
Arthur runs live tenancies at agency scale, from £82.50 a month with 55 units included, billed annually (read 24 October 2026), and its site offers a demo rather than a self-serve sign-up (read 6 October 2026). Below are six alternatives for agents and landlords 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 main alternatives to Arthur Online for UK agents and landlords in 2026 are LetCompliance, COHO, Goodlord, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision, PayProp and Reapit. LetCompliance, which publishes this page, is listed first: it runs the whole let, from the advert to Making Tax Digital, from £7.99 a month.

The alternatives
The alternatives to Arthur, 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
Landlord software that runs the whole let, from the advert to Making Tax Digital.
The Agency plan is £129 a month for unlimited branches, seats and properties, with no VAT added. A landlord’s own account is £7.99 a month for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number.
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 or a small-to-mid agency leaving Arthur, LetCompliance runs the whole let self-serve, the same day, with no unit minimum: lettings and referencing, tenancies signed online, rent and arrears, repairs sent as work orders to your own contractors, Section 8 and Section 13 notices on Forms 3A and 4A, and, on the Agency plan at £129 a month, landlord statements and Client Money Protection reconciliation.
What it runs
Lettings in one workspace: adverts, applications and viewings, and a credit-backed reference ordered from the tenancy for £24.99, or £19.99 for a guarantor.
Tenancy agreements signed online, with documents that name the landlord client as the landlord and the agency as the agent.
Rent received recorded on each tenancy, with arrears and the agency’s commission for each landlord client.
Landlord statements, Client Money Protection reconciliation and tenancy renewals, on the Agency plan.
Section 8 and Section 13 notices on Forms 3A and 4A, and the possession tracker.
Branches, roles and landlord clients in one workspace, with a portfolio imported from a spreadsheet.
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 reconciliation, and Direct Debit collection is for a landlord’s own account, not an agency workspace: rent received is recorded on each tenancy and bank statements come in as CSV files.
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 contractor marketplace: you add your own contractors and send each repair as a work order.
Its Making Tax Digital is for a landlord’s own UK property income, not agent software for filing for clients.

There is no automatic transfer from Arthur: 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.
Take your records out of Arthur. Arthur’s help centre says it will email you all your data as a series of CSV files, which do not include documents, notes or messages, and its terms allow export for 60 days after the contract ends (read 6 October 2026). Ask before you give notice, download certificates, agreements and photos yourself, and check your renewal date: Arthur’s contracts renew automatically.
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.
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.
Set up the rent records. In an agency workspace, rent received is recorded on each tenancy, with arrears and the agency’s commission for each landlord client, and bank statements come in as CSV files. Direct Debit collection is for a landlord’s own account, not an agency workspace. A landlord running their own account can collect by Direct Debit instead. 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.
Start Making Tax Digital from the same records. Arthur 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.
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 Arthur
Notes and messages, which Arthur’s export leaves out, and its contractor network: in LetCompliance you add your own contractors.
Past rent payments: the import takes the current rent, not a ledger of past payments, so keep Arthur’s export with your records.
Anything automatic: there is no transfer from Arthur to LetCompliance, only your spreadsheet and your files.
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.
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”.
Company: Companies House, the official UK register, for the company each provider names on its own pages, by name and number.
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.
LetCompliance publishes these pages and lists itself first. Its prices come from its own plan list and its listing from the same HMRC finder.
The main alternatives to Arthur Online for UK agents and landlords in 2026 are LetCompliance, COHO, Goodlord, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision, PayProp and Reapit. LetCompliance, which publishes this page, is listed first: it runs the whole let, from the advert to Making Tax Digital, from £7.99 a month. The others follow A to Z, each with its price at 1, 5 and 10 properties as its own pricing page gave it on 24 October 2026.
Is the move from Arthur Online to LetCompliance automatic?
No. The move is a spreadsheet and your own files, in the order the switching steps on this page set out, and the help centre’s guide to moving from Arthur Online gives each step in full.
Is there an alternative to Arthur Online without a 55-unit minimum?
LetCompliance has no unit minimum: £7.99 a month for 1 property, £14.99 for up to 3, £19 for up to 10, £29 for up to 20 and £49 for any number, with no VAT added, and £129 a month for an agency workspace with unlimited branches, seats and properties. Arthur’s Standard plan is from £82.50 a month with 55 units included, billed annually (read 24 October 2026).
What do the alternatives to Arthur cost for five properties?
As each pricing page gave it on 24 October 2026, a month: LetCompliance: £19 (Portfolio, up to 10); COHO: £30 +VAT minimum; Goodlord: Not published; Landlord Studio: Pro £17.40 +VAT, or £14 +VAT billed yearly; Landlord Vision: Standard £29.97 +VAT billed yearly, or £34.97 +VAT monthly; PayProp: From £79, plus fees; Reapit: Not published. Arthur itself: From £82.50, billed annually. The plan, the VAT and any extra charge behind each figure are under its entry.
Which alternatives to Arthur are on HMRC’s Making Tax Digital list?
On HMRC’s software finder, read on 24 October 2026, for UK property income: LetCompliance, quarterly updates “Ready now”, tax return “Ready now”, listed as individual software for a landlord’s own return, not agent software; Landlord Studio, quarterly updates “Ready now”, tax return “In development”; Landlord Vision, quarterly updates “Ready now”, tax return “Ready now”. COHO, Goodlord, PayProp and Reapit are not listed. Arthur: not listed.
Why is LetCompliance listed 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.

Bring a let across
Bring your Arthur 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.
