Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
August is property management software for self-managing UK landlords and HMO operators. It combines Open Banking rent tracking, smart transaction matching, income and expense records, compliance task tracking, document storage, maintenance reporting and tenant communication. Tenants can use the dedicated app to pay rent, report maintenance issues, message landlords and access shared documents. August is available on the web, iOS and Android, with plans structured around tenancy limits.
The pricing ladder starts with a Free plan for up to 2 tenancies, 1 bank account, an income and expenses view, smart tenancy setup and auto-document scanning. Growth costs £8.99 per month or £89.99 per year for up to 5 tenancies, MTD reporting, 1 bank account and links to 2 organisations. Portfolio costs £14.99 per month or £149.99 per year for up to 20 tenancies, 6 bank accounts and 2 linked organisations. Portfolio+ costs £29.99 per month or £299.99 per year, adding unlimited tenancies, 20 bank accounts and links to 5 organisations. A 30-day free trial is also available for the paid plans.
Its strongest fit is for landlords who want administration, tenant communication and financial tracking in one product. The feature set includes maintenance status tracking, compliance certificate reminders, document sharing and scanning, Making Tax Digital reports and HMRC submission, plus Xero integration and exports. An AI property assistant and smart contract scanning add assistance around property information and documents, while property insights cover EPC ratings, council tax and valuations. Small landlords can start on Free or Growth; those managing more tenancies should compare the Portfolio tiers, while the plan limits will matter most when a portfolio is expanding.
