Hybrid Comply vs Landlord Vision
We make Hybrid Comply, so read this knowing where it comes from. The reason we have written it anyway is that these two products are not really competitors, and the people who most often land on a page like this are about to make the wrong choice in one direction or the other.
Landlord Vision is a property management platform. Its own homepage positions it as “property management software built for your whole portfolio” and leads on rent, accounting, documents and tax. Compliance tracking is one module inside a much bigger system.
Hybrid Comply is an inspection and compliance evidence tool. It exists to get someone around a building with a phone, score what they find, photograph it and produce a report somebody else will accept. It has no accounting, no rent collection, no tenancy agreements and no tenant screening.
If your problem is arrears and the tax return, stop reading and go to Landlord Vision. If your problem is that a council officer asked for evidence of an inspection you cannot produce, keep reading.
What Landlord Vision does well
Worth saying plainly, because it is a mature product and the market position is earned. From its own site:
- Accounting and banking. Expense management, bank feeds via Open Banking, a reporting suite, and data extraction from scanned receipts.
- Rent and tenancies. Rental income tracking, tenancy management, invoicing and payment collection from one dashboard.
- Making Tax Digital. Included in every plan, and the site claims HMRC Recognised status.
- Documents. File management, a legal document centre and e-signatures.
- Admin. Integrated calendar and tasks, tenant portal and service desk, mail merge, a correspondence tracking diary, and the ability to raise work orders.
- Compliance management. Tracking of compliance requirements such as gas certificates, EPCs and insurance, with automatic reminders before renewals, and a dashboard showing compliant, due-soon and overdue items. Safety certificate tracking is listed as covering EPC, gas safety and EICR, with compliance documents uploaded and tied to each property.
- Support and track record. The site cites 22,000+ landlords, 27,000+ hours saved and £870m+ of total rent invoice value, and says every plan includes a free onboarding call plus unlimited UK-based phone and email support, subject to a fair usage policy.
- Breadth of sectors. Buy-to-let, HMO, social housing, housing associations, local authorities, student, commercial, property accountants and block management are all named as use cases.
- Mobile. The site says the Landlord Vision app has launched on iOS and Android, free with a plan, covering rent, tenancies and compliance.
Published pricing at the time of checking started around £7.99/month for a 4-tenancy Starter plan on an annual basis, rising through Standard (10 tenancies, £23.98/month), Premium (15 tenancies, £31.98/month) and Enterprise (25 tenancies, £67.98/month), with extra tenancies charged per unit, prices excluding VAT and a 14-day free trial on every plan. Check the current figures on their pricing page — the homepage carried a time-limited discount when we looked, and plan structures move.
What Hybrid Comply does
Our own feature list, with nothing added for effect:
- Certificate tracking with expiry reminders — gas safety, EICR, EPC and others.
- HHSRS hazard assessments across all 21 prescribed hazard categories, with scoring, rather than a single “is it safe?” tick box. Our guide to the 21 hazards explains what that actually involves.
- Move-in and move-out readiness checklists, and Decent Homes checks.
- Routine safety logs for fire, water and emergency lighting, so weekly and monthly tests have a dated record rather than a clipboard in a cupboard.
- Photo evidence attached to individual findings, not dumped in a folder at the end.
- Audit-ready PDF report generation and sharing.
- A property Trust Rating score, so a portfolio can be ranked by where the real exposure is.
- Offline-capable iOS and Android apps with a web dashboard, syncing across devices. Basements and empty voids rarely have signal.
- AI-assisted guided camera inspections (“Hybrid Visio”) that analyse photographs and answer compliance questions as you go. This is the part we think is genuinely uncommon in this market rather than just differently branded.
- Care and supported-accommodation coverage alongside standard lettings and HMOs, which is a sector most lettings-oriented tools do not model.
- Sign-in with Apple, Google or email, and free to download.
And the exclusions, stated once so there is no ambiguity: Hybrid Comply is not accounting software, and does not do rent collection, tenancy agreements or tenant screening.

Only rows we could verify. Where a cell says “not described on their site” that is exactly what it means — we did not find it documented publicly, and we are not claiming it is absent from the product.

Choose Landlord Vision if…
- Rent arrears, invoicing or reconciliation is the thing actually costing you money.
- You want Making Tax Digital handled inside the same system as your properties.
- You want tenancy documents, e-signatures and a tenant-facing portal.
- You would rather have one platform for the whole business than two good tools.
- A long market record and included UK phone support matter to you more than depth on inspections.
Choose Hybrid Comply if…
- Your exposure is on evidence rather than on money — you need to prove what was inspected, when, by whom, with photographs.
- You need real HHSRS hazard scoring, not a certificate tick-list. See our HMO inspection checklist for the level of detail an officer actually works to.
- Inspections happen in voids, basements and properties with no mobile signal.
- You are in care or supported accommodation, where the standards and the audit trail are not the same as a standard AST.
- Your accounting is already handled somewhere you are happy with — a spreadsheet, an accountant, or a back-office platform like Landlord Vision.
The pattern most portfolios end up with
Both. A back-office platform for rent, expenses and tax, and a dedicated inspection tool for site visits and evidence. There is no integration between these two products, so properties and renewal dates get entered twice, which is annoying and which we are not going to pretend is fine. For anyone running regular inspections it is still cheaper than typing up paper forms, and for anyone who is not, a single back-office platform with certificate reminders is probably enough.
One thing worth doing before you buy anything: read the certificate deadlines and Awaab’s Law repair clocks and work out which of your current failures are reminder failures and which are evidence failures. Software only fixes the kind it was built for.
Test the inspection half on one of your own properties
Hybrid Comply is free to download on iOS and Android, so the fastest way to judge it is to run a real inspection and look at the PDF that comes out the other end. Book a short demo and we will set it up against a property you pick — and if what you actually need is a rent ledger, we will tell you that too.

Is Hybrid Comply a replacement for Landlord Vision?
No, and we would not recommend treating it as one. Landlord Vision is a back-office platform: rent invoicing and collection, Open Banking bank feeds, expense management, a reporting suite, a legal document centre with e-signatures, a tenant portal and Making Tax Digital submissions. Hybrid Comply does none of those things. It is an inspection and compliance evidence tool. If Landlord Vision is currently running your rent ledger and your tax return, switching to Hybrid Comply would leave you without a back office.
Which one should I choose if I only want certificate reminders?
Either will do it, so choose on everything else. Landlord Vision describes tracking compliance requirements such as gas certificates, EPCs and insurance with automatic reminders before renewals are due, and a dashboard showing compliant, due-soon and overdue items. Hybrid Comply tracks certificate expiries too — gas safety, EICR, EPC and others — with reminders before they lapse. If reminders are genuinely all you need, pick the one whose pricing and data entry suit you; Hybrid Comply is free to download.
What does Hybrid Comply do that Landlord Vision does not describe?
Hybrid Comply is built around on-site inspection. It runs HHSRS hazard assessments across all 21 prescribed hazard categories, move-in and move-out readiness checklists, Decent Homes checks and routine safety logs for fire, water and emergency lighting; it attaches photographs as evidence to individual findings, produces audit-ready PDF reports you can share, and includes AI-assisted guided camera inspections that analyse photos and answer compliance questions. Its iOS and Android apps are offline-capable, so inspections can be captured in a property with no signal and synced later. Landlord Vision mentions inspections in its compliance FAQ but does not describe HHSRS scoring, photo evidence against findings or offline capture on its own pages. Whether it has any of that internally is a question for them, not us.
Where is Landlord Vision clearly the better product?
Anywhere money is involved. If you need rent invoicing and payment collection, Open Banking bank feeds, receipt scanning, landlord expense and profit reporting, work orders, correspondence tracking or HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital submissions, Landlord Vision is built for that and Hybrid Comply is not. Landlord Vision also has far more years in the market — it cites 22,000+ landlords and £870m+ of rent invoice value — and includes a free onboarding call plus unlimited UK phone and email support on every plan. That track record is worth something real when you are putting your accounts into a system.
Can I use both together?
Yes, and plenty of people run this pattern: a back-office platform for rent, expenses and tax, plus a dedicated inspection tool for site visits, hazard scoring and the photo evidence a council officer or funder asks for. There is no integration between the two products, so properties and certificate dates would be entered in both. For portfolios where inspections are frequent, that duplication is usually still cheaper than doing inspections on paper.

How we checked this, and what it is worth
Everything said here about another company’s product was read from that company’s own public website on 30 October 2026. We have not run their software end-to-end, we have no access to their roadmaps, and we are not a neutral party — we make one of the products on this page. Treat this as a starting point for your own shortlist, not as a verdict.
Software changes weekly. Features get added, plans get renamed, prices move. Where we say a vendor does something, we found it described on their site; where we are silent on a point, it usually means we could not confirm it either way and chose not to guess rather than put something inaccurate in print. Please verify anything that will decide your purchase on the vendor’s own site:
