Where Landlord Vision is the better fit
You want accounting, bank feeds, rent tracking and MTD submissions in the same tool as your compliance [1]. Reviewers praise its UK support team [3].
Where Gaffy is the better fit
You mainly need tenants to report repairs properly and a reminder before certificates expire, and you already handle the books with an accountant, a spreadsheet or a dedicated app. A comparison site notes that a landlord with one or two straightforward properties may pay for more software than they need [4].
