Luke AshtonFounder of Bricky Bot and Based Lettings · Updated The short answer
- Choose Landlord Vision if the job you want done is the books: rent and expense records, bank feeds, tax reports and MTD, with compliance reminders, documents and a tenant portal alongside.
- Choose Bricky Bot if you let room by room and the time goes on the work itself: enquiries and viewings, WhatsApp groups, repairs, renewals and landlord statements, with nothing sent until a person approves it.
- The honest line: Landlord Vision is accounting-led software that you run. Bricky Bot’s team does the lettings work, and you approve it. It doesn’t do your tax.
What Landlord Vision does well
Landlord Vision was built by people from property, tax and software who say they’ve been listening to landlords for over 15 years, and it says more than 22,000 landlords have tried it (about us). A few things stand out on its own pages:
- Accounts and Making Tax Digital on every plan. Income and expense tracking, an income tax report, profit and loss, receipts turned into expenses from a photo, and MTD for Income Tax submissions at no extra cost (Making Tax Digital, pricing).
- Bank feeds and Direct Debit rent. Transactions come in through Open Banking and are matched to invoices and payments, and rent can be collected by Direct Debit through GoCardless (banking integration, Direct Debits).
- Compliance in one view. Certificates with expiry dates, reminders before they run out, compliant, due-soon and overdue items at a glance, and certificates shared through the tenant portal (compliance).
- HMOs as a whole or by unit. Rent schedules per tenant, income and costs per unit or for the whole house, licences tracked, and right to rent documents kept (HMO).
- UK support included. A free onboarding call and phone and email support from its UK team on every plan, unlimited users, and iPhone and Android apps (Landlord Vision).

| Landlord Vision | Bricky Bot | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Property management and accounting software for UK landlords, with MTD built in | An AI lettings team of eight specialists, working in a full property CRM |
| Who does the day-to-day work | You, in Landlord Vision, prompted by its calendar, tasks and early warnings | The AI team drafts and does it; a person approves anything that goes out |
| HMOs | Manage as one property or as units; rent schedule per tenant; unit and property P&L; licences tracked | Built running HMOs: a record and tenancy per room, the licence and every certificate tracked per house |
| Portal enquiries and adverts | Not stated | Syncs every SpareRoom and OpenRent thread, drafts replies, tracks each lead to a signed tenancy; builds adverts from the house record and renews SpareRoom adverts every morning |
| Talking to tenants | Emails and rent reminders; tenant portal and service desk (Standard and up); mail merge (Premium and up) | Runs the WhatsApp groups you already have, each linked to its house, lead or contractor record |
| Repairs | Tasks and calendar; raise work orders (Premium and up) | Suggests the fix that worked last time, books contractors after your ✅, files the cost against the house |
| Compliance | Certificates, licences and insurance with expiry reminders; right to rent tracking; audit trail | Opens each renewal inside its lead time, suggests the dates from the certificate PDF for you to confirm, raises a repair if a result fails |
| Rent and money | Open Banking bank feeds and reconciliation, Direct Debit rent via GoCardless, full accounting reports, income tax report, MTD; Xero and agent statements on Enterprise | Matches each line of your bank statements to rent, a cost or a payout; spots late and short rent; drafts landlord statements. Not accounting or MTD software |
| Signing | E-signatures (Standard and up), with a small third-party charge | Fills the tenancy from the records, follows every signature, files the signed PDF |
| Where it runs | Cloud, in the browser, plus iPhone and Android apps | Your own Mac or Mac mini, or Bricky Cloud; your team uses any browser or phone |
| AI | Receipt scanning on every plan; an “AI task assistant” listed on Enterprise (no details found) | The whole team is AI, on the AI plan you already have (for example ChatGPT); you pay your provider directly |
| Price | Billed monthly, plus VAT: Starter £21.97 (4 tenancies); Standard £34.97 (10, then £1.25 each); Premium £44.97 (15, then £1.50); Enterprise £99.97 (25, then £1.75). Annual billing costs less; 2-week trial, no minimum term | See pricing on brickybot.com |
A worked example, by our own arithmetic from Landlord Vision’s published prices: 75 HMO rooms let individually count as 75 tenancies, so Premium, the plan it describes for HMOs, would be £44.97 + 60 × £1.50 = £134.97 a month plus VAT, billed monthly.
The real difference: keeping the books vs doing the work
Take a room coming free. In Landlord Vision you end the tenancy, and its calendar and reports keep the money and the certificates straight. The rest is yours: write the advert, post it, answer the enquiries, book viewings, reference the new tenant and set up the next tenancy.
With Bricky Bot, the notice is logged against the room, the Listings Manager builds the advert from the house record for your own SpareRoom and OpenRent accounts, and the Enquiry Manager answers the enquiries, books viewings and follows each lead to a signed tenancy. You approve each step with a ✅, in the app or straight from WhatsApp, and every action is logged on the record it touched.
The honest difference runs the other way too: Landlord Vision is an accounting engine with tax reports and MTD submissions, and Bricky Bot isn’t. If the books are the job you dread, Landlord Vision may be the better buy.
Repairs are where most room-by-room time goes; here’s how Bricky Bot does it as landlord maintenance software.
Who each is for
- Landlord Vision suits portfolio landlords, limited companies and property accountants who want tenancies, compliance and accounts in one system they run themselves, with MTD sorted (Landlord Vision).
- Bricky Bot suits HMO landlords, co-living and rent-to-rent operators and letting agents who let room by room and want the day’s work taken off their plate, while keeping the final say on everything that goes out. Running guaranteed rent or rent-to-rent houses? See our rent to rent software page.

Questions people ask
What is the main difference between Landlord Vision and Bricky Bot?
Landlord Vision is property management and accounting software for UK landlords: tenancies, rent, compliance reminders, bank feeds, tax reports and Making Tax Digital in one place, which you run. Bricky Bot is an AI lettings team: specialist bots answer room enquiries, run WhatsApp groups, chase repairs and renewals, and prepare every message for a person to approve.
How much does Landlord Vision cost?
Billed monthly, plus VAT: Starter £21.97 a month for up to 4 tenancies; Standard £34.97 for 10 tenancies, then £1.25 for each extra; Premium £44.97 for 15, then £1.50; Enterprise £99.97 for 25, then £1.75. Annual billing costs less, and there is a 2-week free trial and no minimum term (checked 10 October 2026). Bricky Bot’s prices are on brickybot.com/#pricing.
How does Landlord Vision count rooms in an HMO?
By tenancy. Landlord Vision’s FAQ says rooms let individually with different start and end dates count as separate tenancies; tenants who all move in and out on the same day, like a student let, can be grouped as one.
Does Landlord Vision handle HMOs?
Yes. You can manage an HMO as a whole property or as units, give each tenant their own rent schedule, record income and costs per unit or per property, and track certificates, licences and insurance with expiry notifications, according to its HMO page.
Does Bricky Bot do my tax return or Making Tax Digital?
No. Bricky Bot matches rent and costs and prepares landlord statements, but it isn’t accounting or MTD software. If MTD and accounts are what you need most, Landlord Vision does them; some operators will want both.
Can I move from Landlord Vision to Bricky Bot?
Yes. We move your houses, rooms, tenancies, people, certificates and files across, and migration is included.
Does Bricky Bot message tenants on its own?
No. Every message, advert, booking or payment the team prepares waits for a person’s approval, in the app or straight from WhatsApp.
