Best App for Landlords in Australia (2026)
Four options compared on iOS and Android — features, tax, compliance and price.
The short answer: For Australian landlords, PropAlly is the best all-round app in 2026 — it's iOS and Android, works with any agent (or none), covers Division 40 and 43 depreciation, AU state-specific compliance, and bond authority workflows for every state and territory. Cubbi is a strong alternative for strictly self-managing landlords who also want listings and tenant tools.
"Best landlord app" in Australia covers three different jobs: portfolio management for owners (tax, cash flow, compliance), self-management tools (listings, applications, rent collection), and hybrid apps that do a bit of both. The best pick depends on which of those you actually need.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best app for landlords in Australia?▾
For most Australian landlords, PropAlly is the best all-round app in 2026 — it covers portfolio cash flow, AU tax, state compliance and bond evidence, on iOS and Android, and works whether your properties are agent-managed, self-managed, or a mix. Cubbi is a reasonable alternative if you strictly self-manage and want a listings and tenant portal in the same product; Landlord Studio is US/UK-focused and less well-fit to Australian tax rules.
Is there a free landlord app in Australia?▾
Yes. PropAlly is free for your first property, no credit card required. That includes cash flow, tax categories, bond evidence and the full investor calculator suite. Landlord Studio and Cubbi also offer free tiers, but with narrower feature coverage for AU-specific tax and compliance.
Do property investors need an app if they have a property manager?▾
Yes — the app covers what your property manager does not. Your manager runs the tenancy; the app runs the portfolio. Cash-flow totals across multiple agents, ATO tax categorisation, state-specific compliance, and bond evidence are all owner responsibilities that no agency portal handles.
What's the difference between a landlord app and an agent's portal?▾
An agent's portal (PropertyMe / PropertyTree / Console owner view) is provided by your agency and only shows the properties they manage. It is read-only, single-agency, and does not calculate tax or compliance. A landlord app is licensed by you, covers every property you own regardless of who manages it, and adds the ownership layer — tax, compliance, evidence, portfolio totals.
Can I use one app for multiple properties in different states?▾
Yes — PropAlly is built for this. Each property is tagged to its state; smoke alarm requirements, bond authority, rent-increase rules and land tax thresholds apply automatically per property. Interstate investing is around half of new Australian investor purchases, so multi-state portfolios are the norm rather than the exception.
