Choose LetCompliance when

You need a Section 8 / Section 13 notice builder and an audit-logged compliance file.
You want a single 0–100 score per property that flags the gaps before you draft a possession notice.
You manage multiple branches, or want SMS delivery of certificates to tenants.
You want SA105-shaped output plus a Section 24 calculator alongside the rent ledger.

Choose Alphaletz when

You want a free plan for up to 3 properties, with rent, expense and document tracking on web and mobile.
You self-file and want a year-end income, expense and profit report to hand to your accountant.
You want the same records in native iOS and Android apps as on the web.

Switching: the questions that matter

What moving across involves, answered for LetCompliance. What Alphaletz can hand over is theirs to answer, so ask them.

Can I get my data out of Alphaletz?: Ask Alphaletz before you cancel, and export while the account is still open: properties, tenants, rent history and the documents. Check what the export actually includes, because a list of properties is not the same as the certificates and agreements behind them.
How do my properties and tenants get in?: One CSV file, the format any spreadsheet saves as. It carries properties, rooms, tenants, rent, tenancy start dates, deposits and the gas, electrical and EPC expiry dates. Every row is checked and shown to you before anything is imported.
Do I have to move everything at once?: No. Move one property first, on Single at £7.99 a month with Making Tax Digital included, and keep Alphaletz for the rest until you have seen enough.
What about Making Tax Digital part-way through a tax year?: Each quarterly update covers the tax year from its start, not just the last three months, so the year’s income and expenses so far need to be in LetCompliance before it sends your next one. A bank statement imports as a CSV. You can use more than one product in a year, but only one for each submission (GOV.UK).
Do my tenants need to do anything?: Not to start. Each tenant gets their own portal link, with no account or password to set up. If you collect rent by Direct Debit through LetCompliance, each tenant sets the Direct Debit up from that portal, because only the account holder can authorise one.
What happens to the deposit?: Changing software does not touch it. A protected deposit stays with the same scheme, whether the scheme holds the money or insures it. Record the scheme and its reference here.

The verdict

LetCompliance or Alphaletz?

Pick LetCompliance if

You need a Section 8 / Section 13 notice builder and an audit-logged compliance file.

Pick Alphaletz if

You want a free plan for up to 3 properties, with rent, expense and document tracking on web and mobile.

Still not sure? Put one property on LetCompliance, from £7.99 a month, and keep Alphaletz for the rest. A month of your own rent, certificates and tenants will settle it faster than any table.

FAQs

Does Alphaletz handle Section 8 or RRA 2025?

Alphaletz’s pricing page lists rent, expense, document, task and reporting tools; a Section 8 or Section 13 notice builder, an Awaab’s Law workflow and an RRA 2025 toolkit are not listed there. LetCompliance is built around those statutory workflows.

Can I migrate from Alphaletz to LetCompliance?

Yes. Export your reports from Alphaletz as a spreadsheet (Excel export is listed on its Pro plans); LetCompliance takes addresses, tenancy dates and rent details by CSV. Drop existing Gas / EICR / EPC PDFs into the property and AI expiry detection pre-fills the dates.

Do I need both?

Rarely. If your bottleneck is rent + expense capture for self-assessment, Alphaletz is enough on its own. If your bottleneck is staying inside the law post-Section-21 (compliance score, Section 8 evidence, RRA 2025 duties), LetCompliance is the better fit, and its SA105 Tax Pack covers most landlords’ self-assessment needs in the same product.

Which is HMRC-recognised for MTD ITSA filing?

LetCompliance is: it is on HMRC’s list of recognised software for UK property income, sends your quarterly updates to HMRC, and you can hand the same figures to your accountant. Alphaletz describes keeping digital records ready for Making Tax Digital; sending updates to HMRC is not listed on its pricing page (checked 24 September 2026), so check its current position before relying on it.

Is LetCompliance property management software, or mainly a compliance tool?

It is property management software for landlords and letting agents, and it runs the whole let, not just compliance. In one login you advertise, take applications and viewings, reference tenants, e-sign the tenancy, collect rent by Direct Debit and chase arrears, track a 0-100 compliance score, draft Section 8 and Section 13 notices, manage HMO rooms, book done-for-you property services and prepare your SA105 tax. The compliance score is one feature among many, not the whole product.

Which should a UK landlord choose: LetCompliance or Alphaletz?

The page above sets what Alphaletz's own website says it does beside LetCompliance, and lists everything else LetCompliance does. For most UK landlords and small-to-mid agencies who want the whole tenancy in one place, LetCompliance covers more of the let; Alphaletz is the better pick for the specific areas it leads on, which are called out above. LetCompliance starts at £7.99 a month for one property, with a 3-day trial and no card.

Does LetCompliance handle Making Tax Digital and SA105 tax as well as Alphaletz?

LetCompliance ships an SA105-shaped Tax Pack, a Section 24 personal-vs-limited-company calculator, a capital-gains calculator and a mileage log, and it sends Making Tax Digital quarterly updates for UK property income to HMRC on every paid plan from £7.99 a month (not the free plan or the trial). It is recognised by HMRC for UK property income, and if your return needs self-employment, savings or dividend income you finalise the year with software that can add it, or with your accountant.

Are these Alphaletz comparisons independent and kept up to date?

They are written by LetCompliance, which says so plainly. The Alphaletz column shows only what Alphaletz's own website says, with the date it was read, and every page names where Alphaletz is the better choice and the one thing LetCompliance does not do (Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation). Providers change their plans and prices without notice, so check theirs before you buy.
