Landlord Studio vs RentalCalcs Portfolio Tracker
Landlord Studio: Landlord software for rent collection, expenses, tenant screening. RentalCalcs Portfolio Tracker: analysis-native underwriting + projection + market revaluation. Below is the honest side-by-side, including where Landlord Studio is the right tool and where our tracker is.
Are they the same category of tool?
Landlord Studio focuses on active property management — collecting rent, screening tenants, tracking expenses. It doesn't underwrite deals or project portfolio growth. If you already own the properties and just want to run them, it's a solid choice. If you're actively acquiring or want a portfolio-level projection, our tracker is what you're missing.
What Landlord Studio does well
- Online rent collection with ACH
- Tenant screening and applications built in
- Mobile app for on-the-go landlords
- Reasonable pricing for small portfolios
Where the Portfolio Tracker adds
- No deal underwriting or scenario modeling
- No market-data revaluation
- No projection of portfolio value over time
- Focused on operational tasks, not investment analysis

When Landlord Studio is right
You self-manage rentals and want rent collection, expense tracking and tenant screening in one app.
When Portfolio Tracker is right
You're actively evaluating deals, want your existing portfolio to auto-revalue against Zillow-quality data, or need a lender-ready portfolio summary.
Or run both
Run Landlord Studio for tenant operations, our tracker for portfolio analysis. They don't overlap much.
Pricing
Landlord Studio has a free tier plus paid plans starting around $12–$25/mo. Portfolio Tracker is included in Pro ($29/mo).
Try the analysis-native side
Portfolio Tracker rolls up every property you underwrite, auto-revalues them monthly against local price data, and flags DSCR risk and equity milestones. It won’t collect rent for you, but nothing else will underwrite your next deal and slot the projected numbers into your existing portfolio.
