LetCompliance vs GoTenant

GoTenant is positioned as a tenant portal and rent ledger; it does not ship a ground-by-ground Section 8 drafter, Section 13 rent-increase notice, Awaab’s Law SLA→ engine, RRA 2025 toolkit or Pet request→ 28-day tracker. LetCompliance is built around those statutory workflows.

Yes. A common pattern: GoTenant for the tenant-facing rent ledger and maintenance portal, LetCompliance for the compliance audit log and Section 8 / RRA / tax layer. We import properties from GoTenant CSV exports and the AI expiry detection pre-fills certificate dates from PDF uploads.

GoTenant provides document storage you can use for Right to Rent→ evidence, but it does not ship a guided wizard with share-code verification or an RRA 2025 toolkit with the 31 May 2026 service deadline tracking. LetCompliance ships both.

GoTenant’s free / per-portfolio tier is cheaper for a single property. LetCompliance is a flat per-portfolio fee from £14.99/mo (3 properties), which becomes the cheaper option once you cross 4–5 properties or want the Section 8 / RRA / tax toolkit on top of compliance reminders.

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.

The table above compares them feature by feature. For most UK landlords and small-to-mid agencies who want the whole tenancy in one place, LetCompliance covers more of the let; GoTenant is the better pick for the specific areas it leads on, which are called out honestly above. LetCompliance is free for your first property, then from £14.99/mo.

LetCompliance ships an SA105-shaped Tax Pack, a Section 24 personal-vs-limited-company calculator, MTD-dated quarterly summaries, a capital-gains calculator and a mileage log — the landlord tax layer most tools skip. It is not HMRC-recognised for the direct press-submit step, so above the £50,000 MTD threshold you pair it with a recognised filer or hand the pack to your accountant.

They are written by the LetCompliance team, and we say so plainly — but each one names where GoTenant is the better choice and the two things LetCompliance does not do (Open Banking bank-feed reconciliation and HMRC direct-submit filing). Pricing and feature rows are re-verified every quarter.
